Hey folks. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here for all the kind words, and also for reading what I’ve written at The A.V. Club these past nine years. I know I wasn’t always the most consistent presence in the comments, even before the Kinja transition, but I dipped in fairly regularly, and for…

Should have cast the Evan Hansen guy

I’ve never heard of this!  What crime was it?  Please, type it out for us so we can all see how silly it is that people keep mentioning it.

What crime was that?  Presumably something super minor and frivolous if it’s silly that people bring it up.

My experience was similar last week, half empty theater on a weeknight except some jerks brought their 2 year old who loudly disrupted every quiet moment of the film so that I wished I had waited to stream it.

Uh yeah you should watch NWH.

“I am reminded of the particular incident where Holmes and I stayed in on a rainy day and read quietly to ourselves for several hours.”

As a middle-aged Scotsman who grew up watching their comedy, I am unexpectedly excited at the thought of French & Saunders being reunited on the big screen. Low wattage? Pish!

It’s Midsummer you need to avoid

Holy shit, Burl! Ha ha! Good to see you, man. And right back at you — I like to think I go off the beaten path in search of weirdo movies but you have an incredible depth of knowledge of cool schlock (very befitting a Dick Miller fan) and your comments showed it, glad you got a chance to publish a few things here.

Ha ha!

RIP, A.V. Club. I’ll miss you.

I too am done after that. I can’t support in any way a company that treats its employees with such grotesque contempt. But I’ll say this: I’ve always enjoyed your posts, Miller, and enjoyed making Dick Miller jokes is response to them. (He’s my favourite actor by a long way.) I’ve been around here a long time - I used…

G/O Media, compensate your employees

He and other folks are here until the beginning of March, so I’ll stick around until then, I want to support good work (also, I hope Dowd goes out on a C+, for old time’s sake). But then I’m finally done. It’s notable that Noel Murray and a lot of other freelancers are walking away from the site as well because of how…

Here’s what’s coming to and leaving AV Club in Spring 2022!

Hmmmmmm

Dowd, very sad to see you go. I keep saying I’ll quit this site after all the shit they do, and how they seem to want to get rid of the commentariat, but there just aren’t any other sites to go to really.

Godspeed, Dowd! Hope to see (plus) you writing somewhere else real soon!

sorry we exhaust you, I’m sure you say the same about marvel fans, or pretty much any other big blockbuster.
