Isn’t it “Interview With THE Vampire”?

Well said. His movies are full of momentd that, on further reflection, don’t really make sense. Yet even after you’ve “seen behind the curtain,” you don’t feel cheated—what you remember is the feeling you got seeing it the first time, and even when you see it again, the emotional effect still works.

Or a 747

The “clapter” accusation is the same sort of thing you’d get from any genre purist. Like metal fans complaining about certain bands not being metal, or punk fans complaining about sellouts, or horror movie fans complaining that a movie isn’t scary, or jazz fans complaining about everything.

“Interior decorator? His apartment looked like shit.”

I’ve been re-watching The Sopranos, and the 10 seconds from the start of the clip below made me laugh more than anything else in the show. It’s a funny line as written, but the delivery just kills me.

Jack Jack vs. Raccoon was my favorite part of the movie, and in the running for my favorite scene of any movie this year. 

It’s kind of like people and kids. Some people, once the last kid is grown and out of the house, can’t wait for it to be filled right back up again with grandchildren. Others sell the house, buy an RV, and come back for Christmas and funerals.

In the next installment, we’re going to show the backstory on WHY he never does. It’ll be an window into his character and explain the origin of one of Superman’s least explored character…

That’s traditionally what the news is, good deeds performed by admirable everyday people.

Should he have been murdered? No. Was he a piece of shit? By all accounts, yes. Is it okay to enjoy the work of a piece of shit? I believe so.

Yes, that is PRECISELY what he is saying. A+ comprehension. 

I don’t know who in their right mind would want the whole Frankenstein’s monster of Gizmodo/Gawker/Onion, so I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever buys The Onion ends up with just it, Clickhole, and AV Club.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the impending sale. There’s obviously a higher risk for total collapse, but there’s also the possibility of returning to something approaching their former status. That’s an improvement over having the life choked out of it by Univision, which it should have been obvious to everyone was…

The Onion/Clickhole/AV Club need to be independent again. I do not care what happens to the rest of it.
