I agree with every word you wrote (especially the bit about Ron Howard).

There are quite a few movies of yesteryear that you could arguably shit on. Backdraft is not one of them.

Must be tiring to be so utterly wrong all the time.

Agreed. People love love LOVE Transformers and the Fast and Furious movies. People are idiots.

Yeah, I just use Rotten Tomatoes as a general “Can I see this in the theater?” guide. Shit is expensive, and I already have a nice home theater system that is good enough for most movies. If it is sub 40% for a genre movie its a hard pass from me and I’ll just catch it on cable. Never payed attention to user reviews.

Is the way the art is produced more important than the art itself? I don’t care which family’s account of the relationship is more accurate. Likewise if you knew nothing about the pranking habits of the producer, would you think this movie was worthy or not?

Perhaps Monos would be better left to the hands of fate.

Yep, the continued coverage of Modern Family is bizarre. Might as well review Big Bang Theory

Spot on, and rather embarrassingly often (like here) they seem to be aware that they’re behind the curve (which, let’s face it, when they weren’t it was one of the main selling points of this show) and make up some excuse as to why--acting like these showshaven’t been discussed for months before.  (A show I’m really…

...tizenship rhetoric!

There’s a scene in FFIX that, upon a replay, caused me to burst into tears. The scene on the airship with the Black Mages and Black Waltz 3 really upset me for some reason.

Having enough local friends to play Mario Party with.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater made me cry at the end.

I teared up at the beginning chapter of The Last of Us and again at the end. Another one that had me tear up was, strangely, the last sections of the final stage of Journey. It’s magical. It’s definitely the music, it’s so powerful right there.

I finished God of War this morning and it was up there with the series finale of Scrubs and Iron Giant in the stupid amount of tears it made me produce.

I’m sorry but this list is invalid because Detective Pikachu isn’t #1.

When people like things that suck shit, people make more of them. That’s pretty much the story of podcasts

cool! anything you want to share that you like so I can rag on it for a paragraph?

I’d argue that Twin Peaks should never have another episode because The Return was mostly an ill-conceived and terribly paced mess, but I’d hate to disrupt The AV Club echo chamber.
