Bob had absolute idol status in Japan because Japanese teens used Sing Along with Mitch to learn English. There were “Babu” fanclubs over the country.

I'm not shocked HotD isn't on the AV Club lists- the reviews/ recaps were always massively inaccurate in even summarizing the plot to the point one would question whether the reviewer actually watched the episode. It's a tough year for television in the sense that there's a ton of wonderful programming and the acting…

There are a lot of self-proclaimed progressive dudes watching this show that get into a tizzy whenever someone points out that Albie dissects women academically; he read the right words but he hasn’t fully internalized them. He chose to interpret systemic sexism as all women are victims that need a progressive,…

I’ll take your Colin Firth and raise you a Woody Allen. Helena Bonham Carter famously said it was “like kissing the Berlin Wall.” 

As far as I know, Tokyo's version of the ride won't be replaced (not for a while, anyway). That one has the cool restaurant smack in the middle of the mountain a' la Pirates at Disneyland.

Between this and mistaking Strange World for a Pixar release in another article, I’m just convinced AV Club writers see “CGI, no princess” and assume “Pixar film.”

From a strategic standpoint, Eisner was before his time on many things. He was the first to call out that Disney Parks would have value to adults that grew up with the IP, and that value wasn’t limited to adults with children. Downtown Disney, an expanded World Showcase embracing festival entertainment, etc were very…

God, Atlantis and Treasure Planet were both films that had so much potential. To be fair, there are excellent aspects of each film, and if they had been workshopped a little more and released a little later, then they may have played more successfully to an evolving market. Hindsight is 20/20, but Disney’s pivot to…

It certainly doesn’t help that by virtue of including any of those out or queer coded characters, your international market is instantly obliterated. As long as major studios count on China and other heavily censored markets to make back their money, they’ll need to heavily adjust their budget/ earnings forecasts for…

Then maybe Jez can write THAT article instead of this weird ass mishmash.

Jez has always had that early 2000s “choose my choice” feminism. Which: Fine. Choose your own choice, but when your job and continued fame is to objectify yourself and sell your body, at least call out that while YOU are bringing home the bank, the men that gleefully revel in your willingness to commodify yourself…

They know Diana = Money. Her death and the subsequent fallout will likely be half a season on its own.

We know it’s not a red herring because Rocco tells Valentina in the first episode that there are “more dead guests.” Granted, initially that didn’t count Lucia and Mia, but now they’re on the guest register and their deaths would make Rocco technically correct.

Or maybe we live in an area where it’s super middle class and not highbrow at all to have an extra freezer/ fridge in the garage. Almost everyone around here (MN) hunts, fishes or goes in with their family once a year to get a whole hog or cow. Get it processed, seal it, slap it in the freezer and you’re good to go-…

People here, on AV Club and on The Root are really showing their asses that they believe intersectionality only applies to straight, cis white people. 

Not only thay, but lurking in the HotD fandom, folks shut up about the Valeryons almost immediately after the first episode aired (except for those rough wigs). Rings of Power would have been a far more appropriate (and easier) target, but that might have required that Dave actually read something.

“When Love is Gone” being deleted (thankfully, it’s in the VHS release) also lessens the impact of the final scene where Scrooge and the cast reprise it. Michael Caine is no singer, but when he moves behind Belle on the bridge, the audience could see for maybe the first time that this was a man that wasn’t…

Katy Perry was a failed Christian music artist before she dyed her hair and shot whipped cream out of her tits. This is a woman that shamed Lady Gaga for having a cross on her costume in the Bad Romance video because Gaga was allegedly "disrespecting Jesus" but missed the memo on chastity and modesty when her own…

The first film suffered from some pretty significant pacing issues (and the godawful CGI); the setting and performances were the only thing that elevated it. It was a perfectly serviceable film, but Fury Road it was not despite everyone out here acting like it.

I mean, when your entire career is generated from being “the tits in Blurred Lines”, “the tits in Gone Girl”, and “modeling” your body IS the discourse. She chose that to get ahead, so sue people for wondering about the only asset she possesses.
