I hate her so much. If she has to be present, can we at least get the catharsis of seeing the smug look wiped off her face?

Not sure why the AV Club loves her. In addition to being the most annoying version of the precocious child, she's a bully. In no way is she a protagonist in the first half of season 3.

I hope Erica gets more tolerable, because “obnoxious younger sibling” is exactly that.

I sincerely hope season 3 doesn’t have an episode as awful and momentum shattering as season 2's infamous “Eleven hangs with 80's punk stereotype criminals and an X-men reject” episode.

I still watch The Sound of Music probably once a year and I never not tell myself how gorgeous Liesl is in that movie. She was definitely dating down because of the differential in looks and the being-a-Nazi part.

Counterpoint - Other Space was really good, and I’m still bummed the death of the platform robbed it of another season. But you’re right it wasn’t Community’s fault.

Didn’t he do a Random Roles on this site where he mentioned being typecast as “gay supporting character” in 90s comedies because he was one of the rare actors willing to play gay characters?

I know! I thought we might at least get finale coverage as a result, but nope.

I’m OK with this decision. I thought the 3rd season was a little bit of a step down, and I was worried the writers were struggling slightly to find ways to extend things.

My issue with The Lost World was that the acting was very poor compared to Jurassic Park. Ian Malcolm wasn’t even close to the same person. And he keeps morphing into a different persona every time he’s brought up even in his very brief cameo in Fallen Kingdom and in the video game Jurassic World Evolution.

In…

The Lost World is shocking enjoyable all these years later, somehow. Give it another try. There’s something fun about it.

I agree.  I read the book first and was supremely disappointed at the direction the movie went.  

I feel the same about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I mean....you’re certainly not going into it thinking you are about to see Oscar worthy storytelling and acting. It’s a pretty funny movie....especially if you pay attention to some of the stuff that goes on in the background of certain scenes. lol

Zelda II is also my favorite game. The RPG elements that go missing in all the other games are a huge reason I don’t play them.

Seeing lots of hate for The Lost World from other commenters, but I’ve always enjoyed it.  When it comes to JP sequels, TLW is the best by a mile.  JP3 is bad, and the Jurassic World movies are unwatchable garbage.  The trailer for the second JW movie literally show Chris Pratt get consumed by a toxic 1,000 degree…

I can’t really comment on Zelda since I never cared for any of those games until Breath of the Wild hit (But I did play BOTW until the cartridge is ransacked). Clerks 2 was not a disappointment since, plebeian than I am, I never liked Kevin Smith movies before it and never have after. But I will say - yeah, Jurassic…

The most shocking part of this Q&A was that post-Dogma, two AV Club writers still had high enough expectations of Kevin Smith to be disappointed. By the time Clerks 2 came out, my expectations had been set so low that I could appreciate a donkey show set to the tune of a Samantha Fox song.

You misread Colburn’s discussion of “low stakes” — he was still describing his day, he hadn’t moved into discussing the movie at all yet.

They should have just committed to the “dinosaur Godzilla movie” premise for the entirety of The Lost World instead of retreading the first movie for the first two thirds.

The problem with Clerks 2 is that it’s not funny enough to justify its grim premise.

Amidst the frustration, the first Clerks captured a certain Gen x ennui that is a response to the materialism of the ‘80's. It’s not a mature or even particularly healthy viewpoint, but there’s something appealingly rebellious and…
