What?! This series could have gone on forever. One less reason to continue reading the AV Club.

Hell of a time for him to announce this, since ProPublica’s doing a deep dive on his and other billionaires’ taxes

Hoping for a “major malfunction.”

I met a Pakistani (?) taxi driver in England once (around the time of their controversial ad meant to show how “we’re all alike under the skin” by showing a white person having their skin colored with a black Sharpie) and was stunned by how racist and anti-immigrant he was (in his mind England’s economic problems were

are still talking about about all the anti-Asian hatred

To me, it’s very similar to the evolution of the term “fake news”. The fact that Trump and co. realized the term could be used as a catchall defense against any legitimate news articles they didn’t like, doesn’t mean that the intentional spread of disinformation, the reason the term exists in the first place, isn’t a

What the hell are you talking about “A good version of these stories would have made a normal raggedy ann doll terrifying” The Raggedy Ann Doll is seriously scary looking to me! Don’t even get me started on Andy. He’s even worse yet. Just something so unnerving about those dolls.

He’s so, so good.

Fuck Indiana Jones. No one rocks a fedora harder than Roy Scheider in Sorcerer...

Sure, it’s easy to say that when they don’t even post the trailer.

I would have been happy if Into the Spider-verse had been a one-off, but I suppose after its huge success that was never going to happen.

They stage the creepy-doll stuff effectively, but it’s impossible to stop giggling whenever that prop appears onscreen. Like, in the movie’s universe somebody made a giant porcelain doll that looks like the Joker suffocating to death, and then prospective owners looked at the doll and said, “Yep, that looks like a regu

It’d be like if 30 years from now they’re making political thrillers “based on a true story” where Q is real, the January 6th insurrection is justified, and Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz were the heroes of the film.

They may be well crafted movies, but they are legitimizing the legacy of a pair of frauds.

The problem I have with absurdist comedy is diminishing returns. I agree with you that there are a few dozen absurdist repeating motifs but even if I saw something entirely “new” in absurdist comedy it wouldn’t be as funny to me as my first exposure. That’s not necessarily the fault of the subgenre but it does make me

they’re better people than me if they rescued those fuckers without a thank you.  i might’ve taken them on board but no thank you & i would’ve pushed them off.

It's a testament to how racist America is, not how innovative Marvel is, that putting Black people in a movie is considered "challenging." 

Though I’m not a huge horror fan, I enjoyed the first “Conjuring” movie.

Just watch God Told Me To instead
