There are some Sono films I love, but also, this does not surprise me.

I consider myself a pretty fair Tolkien fan - grew up with the books, and I’m even named for one of the characters. They’re my favorite book and film series ever, and while I’m no Stephen Colbert, I can recite off a fair bit of history.

As West Wing actor Joshua Mandel puts it in a new essay for The Atlantic,

I understand that a lot of people liked Nomadland and The Rider. But calling Zhao a “world-class director” in a time when Hong Sang-soo, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Claire Denis, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Lucrecia Martel, and Jean-Luc Godard are all alive and making movies seems a bit much.

Eternals turns the adventures of ageless space gods into just another Marvel movie

Sweet christ. What did 110 minute movies do to make Hollywood executives hate them so much? 

Damn you guys giving a C+ to a major studio release is the equivalent of a D - or F on a normal grading scale. I know it looked bad but was not expecting this.

I’m 50 pages into an advance copy of the Ishiguro and it’s like so much “prestige” science fiction: cliched, conceptually half-baked and stylistically overwrought. Klara is the typical pop culture android, a bright but naive mix of Pinocchio and the Little Mermaid with a pinch of the toy on the store shelf waiting to…

Trump did apparently tweet out the home phone number of one of his primary opponents during the election. Wouldn’t be shocked if that rule was put in place after that incident. Either way these frequent declarations that Twitter is somehow insidious for letting Trump get away with certain things are a bit... naive.…

She posted a personal phone number. Doesn’t matter what your stance is, that shit is wrong. She wasn’t silenced... and I’m totally on her side on everything else she’s doing. She’s exposed a lot. But you can’t do THAT.

Desirable, even.

I don’t know. It’s also pretty gullible to believe the election was “influenced” by a Pokemon Go thing that literally no one has ever heard of before and after reading a description of the scheme I have no idea what is going on. But I guess if it confirms everyone’s paranoia that the Russians are under your bed, who…

I just want to thank you again AV Club, for fucking over the comment community you used to have until you foisted kinja upon it. The comments here are now indistinguishable from youtube.

first step to what? Let’s be honest, Miranda is doing nothing but posturing for Twitter there... he’s giving Trump everything Trump wants. How dumb have people become in this?

My dad always used to joke “We were winning when I left.” That’s the only joke he tells about it.

And the AV Club needs a comments section!

What America needs now, more than anything, is the gentle, politically-centrist ribbing that only Comedy Central can provide.

Don’t know why I’m bothering and I can’t be bothered to look it up, but Synder has generated more profit. It’s not sexism, it’s business.

For a woman no longer interested in running for office, she sure has been trying to get in the news to talk about that time she ran for office and how everything went wrong when she lost and wouldn’t you like to see her run again and fix everything WINK WINK.
