I like how she uses the word “accurately” right before getting both the name of the movie wrong, and the facts surrounding its Oscar nomination wrong. Some real top-notch writing!
Well I hope I haven’t trained all my life for nothing.
Seems like AV Club is just as happy to resurrect bashing ‘Green Book’ as Viggo here is to keep defending it.
We get it, the movie’s problematic. I didn’t skip it because of that, but because it looked like it fucking sucked. Nothing I’ve read has dissuaded me from this opinion.
So many people trying to call Cronenberg, and the only way to reach him is a pay phone in a bath house? That guy really is weird as shit.
I could see trying that over a sink or something, but he’s going to end up with scalded genitalia slouched on a sofa like that.

I’d implore the author to Do Tha Bare Minimum.
Also, Driving Miss Daisy did not win a victory over Do the Right Thing, because the latter wasn’t even nominated for Best Picture.
It’d be like saying that the ‘29 Yankees earned a victory over the Kansas City Monarchs.
That was about 6 months ago.
Yeah I’m all for a little snark and sarcasm but god, it’s laid on so thick in every single article now. It’s just gotten obnoxious and juvenile and I feel like I’m reading something written by a try-hard high-schooler. Then again, the general quality of writing here has gone downhill since the great Kinjapocalypse.
accurately compared to Driving Miss Daisy’s victory over Spike Lee’s Do Tha Right Thing
Question for the AV Club staff: when did the site’s house style officially change to “be so smug and snarky that whatever credible point might be buried in the article is invalidated”?
nah just a white girl overestimating the ebonics of the title
No one cares about Green Book anymore. Not even the people who liked Green Book care about Green Book at this point. We’ve all moved on with our lives...
“Driving Miss Daisy’s victory over Spike Lee’s Do Tha Right Thing.”
Just to be clear: Rudy wasn’t undoing his pants on Borat. He was reaching down there trying to get things going (and now I’m gonna be sick).
This is just another Joe “Hunter” Biden plot to silent Rudy Giuliani’s big dumb mouth!
