i never understood the fuss about babe 2
I saw Babe at the cinema and loved it.

are those who can't rate to begin with.

'A sequel in spirit only'
hard to imagine anything 90210-related not sucking hard.

it was his adaptation, after all.

isn't it about time we had another tobey macguire/katie holmes double act?
Ice Storm, The Wonder Boys.

they're cool guys and south park is still very funny.

lee's fleeting treatment of the fantastic four
in the Ice Storm was better than both Fantastic Four movies and his own Hulk, i kid you not.

english patient still a classic
it seems easy to mock in hindsight as Oscar-bait, but the English Patient was the first film i ever saw that perfectly adapted a great book into a great film.

we care a lot…
about transformers 'cause there's more than meets the eye!

don't forget the pratfalls.

she's pretty!

ditto. That was one of two famous 80s teen movie i somehow completely missed seeing despite being a teenager in the 80s. The other was 16 candles.

'the use of violence in movies is a subject worth addressing'
yes, but what about doing pratfalls in front of a giant gorilla?

By the time i get to union park
'a whole host of other lame lyrical allusions', you say?

yes, but none of them rock as hard as J Cougar Mellencamp!

let's not forget baps and hooters.

i've cracked the formula!
box office gross = n + pr/n*3p

what happened to the cougar anyway?
when did it become unfashionable, nay unpatriotic even, for a great rock artist to go by the name of a mammal of the Felidae family, the second heaviest cat in the New World after the Jaguar?

writ on water
we're writing articles about wikipedia entries now? i know the AV Club brief necessary includes a lot of stuff the wider world might consider fairly ephemeral, but what next? articles on the 15 best/worst AV Club comments sections?

this isn't really hate
only a fan of Lost would care this much to make this complaint.
