Basically it’s about the real life job of the period of an Alienist, someone who had studied psychology and Freudian methods to try to get inside a criminals head and figure out how to find them and stop them, and it’s about Daniel Bruhls character having to work with the police to track down a serial killer who is…

I’m so fucking excited for The Alienist, we don’t get too many police procedurals/serial killer shows set in that time period And location (There are a few British ones I know of, but they’re located mostly in the UK or aren’t straight up cop shows) I also didn’t recognize the cast at all in the ten thousand promos…

I knew who Malcolm Tucker was the moment the first scene of The Thick Of It had played out, and there doesn’t seem to be a character as wonderfully abrasive and violently angry in Veep to fill that void. They both seem to be very different shows in terms of how jokes are formulated, which may be intentional seeing as…

He directed a movie, The Death of Stalin, AV Club posted a trailer a couple days ago, it looks awesome

I was a huuuge fan of The Thick Of It, it’s one of my all time favorite comedies, and I couldn’t get through the first episode of Veep, it seemed very similar but like, without any of the humor or jokes actually landing. Not that it was terrible or anything, it just didn’t work for me as it seems to have for so many…

I’m saying that in an updated version the joke would be more pointed, especially with how bigots in the real world are now. It would need to be updated to more clearly be mocking the bigoted characters and their backwards views. Instead of people believing they were gay being some kind of ultimate humiliation. Maybe…

It doesn’t seem even a little wrong headed that their punishment is people believing they were gay? Like, what’s wrong with being gay? It’s that kind of bizarre joke that was in a lot of 80s movies where even if it’s not outright hateful it comes across as a weird choice by modern standards and views on sexual…

I mean, Heathers is basically Badlands but set in a high school with the tongue in cheek camp factor turned all the way up. The premise is basically the same, with a naive young outcast girl meeting and becoming entranced by a violent, angry young man. In Badlands they hit the road, in Heathers they stick around and…

How is the joke at the expense of bigotry? The bullies comeuppance was people thinking they were gay lovers?

While not outright homophobic, that one does seem at least somewhat...problematic, specifically what is the joke there? “Haha everyone thinks the homophobes were actually gay”? I guess it’s kind of ironic? But it seems to me like in order for it to be farcical or funny, even darkly humorous, you would need to view the…

Technically he was acting in some capacity considering it was revealed much of what we saw over the course of Tropic Thunder was the autobiographical (within the film’s universe) Tropic Blunder movie

Glad to hear the annual plan isn’t increasing, it more than pays for itself considering all the crap I keep buying

He was very good in Django, apparently he’s best suited as an actor for over the top scenery chewing roles, because that’s the only thing I’ve seen him in in which he has actual screen presence 

I always feel like arguing against the moniker of “dad rock” since so many of those considered dad rock are really great. Then I remember that I’m a dad, and I picked up my listening habits from my dad...

The skiing was most prevalent in Moore’s movies, to the point that I’m almost certain he skis in every one of his movies. I think Moore (or his stuntdouble) just liked to ski

Are these the same people who did those delightful “Bond vs. Bond” videos?

I don’t recall the movie well enough to know what you’re talking about (I vividly recall the jokes about Ron being blind and the really long joke about him raising the shark only to be attacked by it abruptly) but I can’t imagine the joke was directed at the black people in the scenes so much as the ignorant idiots…

You mean the TV Show Lethal Weapon that’s in like, its third season now?

At the old AV Club this would have at least 100 upvotes by now

We didn’t see after that scene, for all we know she makes a miraculous recovery!
