Can we stop with the “which, yeah” shit? Who even talks like that?

i wish this writer would do a tiny bit more to disguise their naked contempt for Martin Scorsese.

“it’s one of only two or three really good scenes in that entire movie” - No, Age of Ultron is jam packed with really good scenes; they just don’t cohere into an overall single story all that well.

You know, I came here after watching Grace Randolph’s video about this week’s box-office, and she took the exact opposite view that you did about the exact same thing. Weird.

Uh...

Ugh... to whoever assigns these things, please reconsider. Barsanti can’t even get through a recap of a 22-minute episode without fucking up four times. This is real world stuff.

In his seventh and final year at Hogwarts, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) was (quite understandably) too preoccupied with other matters—like the return of Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) to take over the entire wizarding world—to focus on his coursework

I don’t disagree that it’s a specific perspective that spans the breadth of Pottermania, but three of the four panelists’ reaction to Harry Potter is a shrug. It’d be like asking me about Blue’s Clues; I’ve seen it and know the deal, but I was aged out of the target demographic and really don’t have much to say about…

Yup - enough new kids are discovering and reading the books that my niece had a Harry Potter themed party this summer.  I think it’s still going pretty strong.  

Yup, this article is squarely from the perspective of childless adults (not judging, I’m a childless adult), specifically people who’ve experienced the arc of the initial bandwagon, and the self-souring of Rowling’s reputation.

An exercise in teeth sucking.

So this is a roundtable on Harry Potter by a group of people who mostly don’t give a shit about Harry Potter? I know J.K. Rowling sucks now and deserves nothing, but what was the point of this?

I once saw Sam Barsanti referred to as “the worst writer in a regular contributing position on any website”. I tend to agree.

So... what exactly has Chris Pratt done?

People always seem to talk about how this site sucks now but I feel like the moment didn’t arrive for me until I saw “serious backlash to him playing Super Mario?” Who was upset other than that one hyperbolic article a week or so about it?

I just realized this is Sam Barsanti, never mind. As a writer I find him to be…

Clearly it’s not just replies that can only be be edited for 15 minutes after submission.
Once published AV Clubs articles and attitudes are set in stone.

This headline is fucking gross

Even blatantly wrong info stays the same, its been 22 days since the newswire about the comic Saga coming back that still says the show Invincible is an adaptation of a Vaughn comic (its not, that comic is by Robert Kirman, they probably meant Y the Last Man which IS based on a Vaughn comic.) It also hilariously said…

Typos never get fixed... Henry Selick is still called “Harry Sellick” in yesterday’s article. No one gives a fuck, just find a way to take a certain bemused pleasure in how trashy this site is now.

It’s been hours since the article was posted and that typo remains. Jesus fucking Christ.
