lest anyone maintain the times of london has any gravitas
That piece surely proves them wrong.

I agree a film doesn't have to actually show concentration camps to be a Holocaust film, and Anne Frank is an excellent example of that.

Is Black Book really a holocaust movie?
The main character is Jewish and working undercover for the resistance in Nazi occupied Holland but, apart from a scene at the start where Jewish refugees are murdered, it isn't really about the Holocaust other than as a generalised threat for the main character if discovered.

so apparently meltzer's offending review was a rave, huh?
at least his clarification was less ambiguous.

i won't believe you until i see a t-shirt.

where can i buy a t-shirt to express my disdain for zach braff, fallout boy and my love for apatow films?
you'd think there'd be something in the AV Club fashion line for me, no?

"only starting to sound too tired and too slick to matter on 2004's Around The Sun"?
2004?

"it would only be notable if she stuck with something for 10 years"
hmm, the last decent song she did was 'like a prayer' in 1989, so i'd say she's been fairly consistent at making music that sucks ass for roughly 19 years.

couldn't you at least have found a drugs picture with Natalie Portman?
we already had pics of her in Mr Magoos Wonderous Emporium and The Other Boleyn Girl on the front page, i was hoping the AV Club would nail the trifecta!

so basically what you're saying Tasha
is that Natalie is hotter than Scarlett.

"they're not wearing helmets just for the fun of it, or staging elaborate funerals for hamsters"
just couldn't resist a Garden State dig, could ya?

not an answer to my questions, buddy.

Dear AV Club
My questions all regard original HBO series. They should all be quickies, so I figured I'd lump them together:

Not since the review gave it a 'C' and every other post seems to diss it. If anything, it's being underrated.

you can never be above the hate.

shiny!

you had me at Kristen Bell in Princess Leia's gold bikini
following that link, i also got Rachel Bilson in a bikini and some nekkid Natalie Portman.

Serenity gets a C???
Yes, it's not brimming with new stuff like the new Angel or filled with major reveals like Buffy Season 8. But it's more Firefly - a show which, even on a bad day, is great. It's also fairly obvious that this was setting the scene for something else, not just a typical heist.

i think it ended with that shitty movie where she played the President.

'cheating on a quiz show? it's like plagiarising a comic strip'
Scofield didn't act in that many films, but when he did it was like watching the platonic essence of acting itself:
