They still do; Shane Gillis is hosting.

Good on Wes.

Still a brilliant movie.

1) Has AV Club finally lost any conception of ‘humor’? Do they really think the writers are expressing contempt for Ortega?

No shit, nobody knew who the hell she was, and Douglas was a bankable star. Of course she got paid less

DM improved massively after Clarke left. They’ve been consistently mediocre since Wilder left, and I don’t think it’s an accident that Wilder was with the band for their imperial period.

Yeah if they wanted to include something for post-2000 coverage ‘Wrong’ (and ‘John the Revelatory’) would be the way to go rather than two songs from Spirit

‘Lie To Me’ is massively underapprecated.

‘People Are People’ really has become a bit sidelined, even by the band. It was a bigger chart hit in the US than ‘Personal Jesus’! They lyrics are a bit simple but it sounded like nothing else on Top 40 radio in 1985, so I’ll bet I wasn’t the only person who started getting into weirder music after hearing it.

I think the ‘of the 80's’ is the main issue, call them an essential band, full stop. Don’t just toss them in the retro kitsch bin.

To be completely fair, Meg White is a shitty drummer

Yeah I’m reading It’s Not TV now–a great history of HBO–and it’s clear that the AT&T people fundamentally didn’t understand why HBO was valuable for anything other than a platform for Content. Discovery seems to be banking on HBO’s prestige/cultural capital as a counterpoint to their normal reality/lifestyle stuff and…

I remember when AV Club used to write about movies, tv, and music rather than ‘IP’. But I do hope you find more enjoyable content this year, Cindy

“When it debuted in 2012, a show like Girls hadn’t really existed before, and its reach was unprecedented.”

I think AV Club loves hearing that a beloved icon might not be a great person; it’s easy content and they don’t have to, like, think about movies

I find it perplexing that you can’t conceive of ‘ham actors, poor actors, novice actors etc’ not taking the profession seriously

a sad day for old white guys who like to rock out with their buddies on the weekend

I mean, you can be serious about acting and still be quite shitty at actually acting, which is the case here

Isn’t Altered States another film in streaming Limbo?

Great movie–Linda Fiorentio rules.
