Oh no, you didn’t like a joke in an act you didn’t actually see. Can you do some concert reviews based on reddit posts about them?

Jesus Christ, did you and Germaine get “slack” boners over getting to write shit about Leto? I bet you were both ecstatic.

You could pin this comment at the top of every Barsanti article and it would apply.

Is Barsanti staying on after all his other AVC colleagues were forced out or quit in solidarity?

to ensure both that everyone gets to throw in their two cents and that this story remains in the public eye for as long as possible.

The tone of this post sucks. Fuck off, man. 

You know, it occurs to me that if you don’t think that a celebrity’s response to something is particularly noteworthy, then you have the option to simply NOT REPORT ON IT. This weird sort of unearned condescending snark may be Barsanti's trademark, but I'll be damned if I can understand why it's something that the GMG…

They’ll add another slide or two and repost this monthly. Then it’s like the content just writes itself!! (Which they need because these dumb fucks forced the good writers out.)

You know it’s only March, right? “Those we lost in [year]” retrospectives are usually saved for, you know, the end of the year

SNL reviews here should have ended with Dennis. Why not pick something else to review that’s you know, relevant and that people watch? With Dennis it was a mainstay, this is just clinging to something that should have ended a long time ago.

I’ve really enjoyed your work here and will follow you wherever you go next; I think I’m not the only one who wants to encourage you and other former AVC staffers who are leaving in the current profit mandated exodus to start a substack or something. I’d kick in $5/month or something to read stuff by you and the old…

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…

I will say, while I appreciate any lack of histrionics over the Future of the A.V. Club As We Know It!! (and imagine it has served the old-new guard well, ha), I would point out that past incidences of major exodus were either because a bunch of writers left together to start The Dissolve, or a few instances where…

In what way did he ditch his act? His special was recorded and put on netflix. That means he did it. Then it’s done.

The G/O Media staff is expertly trained to write in a way to promote controversy, even if that controversy is total nonsense.

Does anyone have any good alternative websites for AV Club / Kotaku, now that G/O has shown to not care about its employees?

I, for one, will be most anticipating following you and the others wherever you all land. A Dowd “A” has always been an immediate sign of approval.

For those who don’t know, per NYT:

What we’d really love would be a revival of pre-Spanfeller AV Club.

Well, despite agreeing in theory with all of Jesse’s criticisms, this movie isn’t as bad as I thought and actually works nicely in fits and starts. But I do have huge issues with the staggering amounts of fan service, the deeply manipulative sentimental ending and so many of the other unimaginative shortcuts/callbacks.
