“These aliens say they’ve come from another galaxy... to rock you! But can they play ‘Kiss Me’ by Sixpence None the Richer when their enormous erections keep destroying their guitars? Cosmic cover-song catastrophe cocks, next! on Sick Sad World.”

Yes, what Electric Danette Sheep said!

Hey! I suggested REM’s Radio Free Europe! Probably dozens other did too, but I’m ... I’m ... SOMEBODY!!!!

Congrats on EiC! And looking forward to the AV Undercover lineup!

Well you aren’t wrong. Biannual is one of the confusing ones that can mean “twice a...” and “every other.” Annoying.

Actually, biannual is twice a year. Which is also semi-annual. You’re thinking of biennial.

Sounds like the Lonely Island piece is what put him over the top. The rest of the cast and writers are exhausted on Wednesday after the table read but at least they get some rest. LI then had to do a second job with the same timing expectations. That does sound nearly impossible to keep up with.

i think the difference is samberg also had to juggle a hot new career while working on snl. kenan seems to be quite happy with snl being the primary gig, and occasionally dipping his toes in a sitcom or something.

“50 cent version of Batman” is pretty much Rorschach’s entire deal though.

Good god! They really are reviving the old A.V. Club, aren’t they? What’s next? A takedown review by Ignatiy? The long-prophesied return of Snarkmaster General Sean O’Neal himself?!

It’s always assumed that women attained their position through something other than talent or hard work. They got the job because they are pretty. They slept their way to the job. Daddy bought it for them.  It isn’t surprising that they get tarred with the Nepo Baby brush more often as well.

I don’t think it’s a minority opinion, most people really don’t give a shit.

Pretty sure you mean “the daughter of A Talking Cat!?! star Eric Roberts.”

The impetus is Daddio fucking up a trope, but they don't bother explaining how. 

Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t the lead in Silver Linings Playbook, but your point is a good one.

Oh, for Christ’s sake, it’s a televised awards show. It is not compelled to meet you weird ethical demands. The fact that some people like it is the justification for it existing.

If you think the Oscars are just an outdated relic, and you dislike them so much, maybe the people who like them can just keep them as they are. 

On the one hand, sure, why not? On the other, that doesn’t address concerns that men will dominate these categories.

Those are still binary examples, FWIW, just roles where the gender doesn’t match the performer’s.

The Times article has several actors who make the point that screen time is a significant factor of who might win in a category, hence the concern over men dominating an open awards race. I don’t think we’d really want to see a ‘Best Primary Actor (who appeared in more than 50% of running time)’ category, but far be…
