I love how “he is cooperating fully with authorities” is supposed to be, and likely is to gullible idiots, a feather in his cap. He breaks laws and puts other people in danger, but he’s respectful to the boys in blue! A real man and a fine citizen! 

It seems precisely like something Nathan Rabin would write.

I agree. I’ll take weird, overthought takes any day over celebrity gossip lifted entirely from another site.

Hey at least it’s not an article about a Tweet, an episode recap masquerading as a review, or a slideshow!

He was one of two writers let go and is reportedly on social media complaining how they shit-canned the writer with “the most bylines” in the history of the AV Club from his “dream job.” I’m pretty sensitive about anyone losing their job but we’ve all worked with someone who was not only half-assing a paycheck but…

I hope he didn’t take our attempts to destroy him too seriously.

Well...I kind of feel bad for the guy. Losing a gig is never a good feeling, and he got absolutely beaten about the head and neck every time his work was posted. I took my swings; I’ll cop to that. Still, not great.

Yes, he was laid off when AV Club was bought last week. 

Sam might be gone, but the tradition of having the weekend box office list be messed up continues.

Is ‘pill’ a verb these days, or did Gen Z Writer Bot have a stroke again? Old man doesn’t understand sentence.

The last time that happened was 1984.

I noticed that, and was surprised. The Club, for all its other faults, has usually been pretty good using the right pronouns.

I fear it’s a short-lived victory. With Paste buying AV Club, they’re going to do the same pay-to-comment scheme that they did with Jezebel, I fear. It’s a shame. I’ve liked being part of the discussions here, but the quality of writing for Jezebel and AV Club doesn’t justify a subscription fee. Maybe 10 years ago it…

Right!? No clue what to do with my life now. I went through so much paperwork for the name change.

Congrats on outlasting your namesake btw

You got a few “he” and “his” up in this piece, I assume just accidents.

Nobody assumed that The Flash would be a hit, especially with Miller’s “issues” and the decision to basically reboot all the DC Comics properties, which was taken before the release.

If they can get Rosanne Barr as the female interest the plan will be complete.

Are we doing remakes of old celebrity “news” now?
