People are always saying we’re in the end times, but it Never. Fucking. Happens.

The AV Club of old would have made at least a variation on that joke. Sigh. 

It’s clever in a “trying to destroy the remaining value in this pointless circlejerk” kind of way.

That is the problem with Men.  With their short lives, they never finish what they start, leaving us to clean up their mess.

It took a lot of work to make that soundstage look like a soundstage!

That looks surprisingly bad.

Depends. If you’re a fan trashy reality TV (like me), it absolutely is. But if you’re in the crowd that this site use to attract, I very much doubt you’re into trashy reality TV. AVC has been running more and more trashy reality TV articles lately. It’s clear its a directive because they probably think it’ll get more…

Dude is just addicted to stepping on his own dick in the needlessly silliest of ways.

No, my friend, it really isn’t. 

I love this whole “principled stand” shit centering around millionaires with built-in audiences who are not, in fact, silenced or “canceled” in any measurable way. 

I’d be more interested if they decided to use Saved By The Bell as a template and re-imagine it as Potter!, a three-camera, half-hour sitcom, complete with laugh track. Doing this would also keep production costs/time to a minimum, which is something that would make Zaslav ecstatic. Limited number of sets, no CGI, no…

I think a huge amount of the goodwill that first trailer banked was simply from the perfect needle-drop - the transfer from in-song “ooga-chaka” to action crescendo “ooga-chaka” has stayed with me for all these years.

They think “just smile and nod while she babbles endlessly about trans people, before long she’ll keel over from racism poisoning and then I get five hundred million bucks and a castle.”

Okay Spartacus.  Its an HBO TV show, one that isn't even announced yet, will be years away, and regardless of if its a hit or not the channel will continue to survive and current attitudes towards its creator will probably not change much regardless of success or failure.  

10 pop pops to Gryffindor

I’ve only been there a few times and I will say the ratio of real tweets to ads in my feed havegone up so high that it almost looks like a parody sight making fun of uncontrolled capitalism.

Look man, back then, it was OUR dumpster fire. We didn’t need CORPORATE to light those oily rags ablaze. We damn well did it ourselves.

Thank you for the reply - I agree with your characterization. My daughter wanted to join and I told her not to - “It’s like the YouTube comments section but without videos.”

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes, but it always was a trash fire. It’s just now due more to imbecilic mismanagement than to the organic heaping of endless burning refuse by its user base.
