Yeah, either I have a very high pain tolerance or folks are seriously overestimating the discomfort of an IUD insertion/ removal. I’ve had two from two different providers, and outside of less than ten seconds where I felt a bit of a pinch like someone cut my nails past the quick, it was... nothing? Didn’t hurt,…

I was responding to your asinine comment that Winslet’s career was “women that make a living off of their looks.” But hey, I get that you need some username/ comment synergy.

You know you’re talking about Kate Winslet, right? Kate the “youngest actress to hit five Oscar nominations” Winslet? Who is still regarded as one of the finest actresses of the 90s and 2000s? The one that went to famously painstaking lengths to shield her children from photographers?

Some of the dialogue is rough beyond belief, but the beauty of Titanic is because it’s a simple story, not in spite of it.

I wouldn’t call the musical a roaring success outside of its financial success, which was bound to happen regardless of the quality. The book is solid, but the music lacks a lot of the storytelling one would come to expect in great Broadway- the show is definitely a “Dear Evan Hansen” and that’s not meant as a…

Welp, you can congratulate yourself on having an even worse take than the writer, so you at least have one thing going for you.

He should be pissed and so should you. A military vet detained for doing their damn job is a hell of a lot more of a travesty than a second rate sportsball player with a million dollar Nike contract that can't remember whether they packed weed.

Biden is approaching Vikings-level absurdity on trades with this one. I’m sure the Ukrainian people will be heartened to hear that some woman with weed is now with her family as they’re getting bombed into oblivion at an accelerated rate.

That’s how it generally is in the USA as well, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in what others are saying here. The police would show up if a wellness check was requested, but for a medical emergency, 911 is immediately dispatching an EMT/ ambulance and unless it’s a foul play scenario, the cops won’t even be alerted.…

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…
