I find it hilarious that their 82 year old hire seems to be more flexible and foward-thinking than the ownership.

Yeah, I need some clarification here.  One episode max, or one scene max?

For the (semi-)professional film critics at the AV club? Yes, yes they absolutely are the first ones that come to mind. Same way that a bunch of brewers asked to name their favorite beers will probably list brands 90%+ of people have never heard of - folks who do something for a living have a very different…

Please, they'd have to be the Tampontreal ExRays.

I’d argue that once you accept that the movie is a nightmare, the bit with the rabbits adds a “eating raw meat” tidbit that makes the Tethered’s existence more terrifying. It doesn’t help ground the setting at all (...what do the rabbits eat?), but at least it does *something* - unlike the other half-assed attempts at…

Agreed, but critics seemed determined to read Us as a commentary on American class and culture (“Us = U.S.! OMG!!!”)

Isn’t this the kind of thing that gets described as “cultural appropriation”?

See, I liked Us, and I was really happy to see Ignatiy Vishnevetsky describe it as “fundamentally irrational”.  There’s nothing wrong with a horror movie that operates on nightmare logic, but it’s hard to make any political points when your setup is blatantly impossible.  The personal horror worked great, though. 

Thing is, Archer has been doing the genre-hopping thing for half it’s run now.  It feels like Reed (and presumably a lot of the rest of the crew) is bored and wants to do something else, FX is desperate for more Archer, and as a result we’ve had a half-decade of them doing something else with Archer.

I think that’s the key difference between movie theaters and Netflix when it comes to “viewers”. For a theater-released movie, in order to be counterd your level interest needs to meet or exceed“do I want to leave the house and spend $15+ per person to see this?” Assuming you already have Netflix and an open evening,…

My understanding is that it *is*, but it’s pretty hard to burn through joints at anything close to the pack-a-day or more rate many smokers do.

Love the song. I’d never seen the album cover...and ho boy, are you right about it being terrible. It’s like someone sent them a “This looks ‘shopped” meme through a time machine.

Turns out, “it’s a character” isn’t a valid legal defense.

That's one weak-ass elf if a roll of 4 took it down. 

Replacing a factual "punched in the face” with a fictitious "punched in the balls" seems like the ultimate unnecessary embellishment. 

That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.  We just usually don’t talk about dynastic players apart from teams.

...would you really have looked at the original threepeat Bulls, pre-Baseball Jordan, and said “nah, that’s not really enough for a dynasty”?

I mean, you can only play the team in front of you. And with the Warriors deliberately spending money on more starting star power instead of bench depth (plus swapping medical teams in the off-season), a late-postseason injury was far likelier for them than most teams in their position.

Fortnight is a fun game, a good showcase for streamers, and *a fucking awful e-sport*. The “long periods of waiting followed by short bursts of activity” approach that makes it fun to play also makes it *torture* to watch.

I hate the Warriors as much as the next guy, but they went to five straight finals and won three of them.  If that's not a dynasty, I don't know what is.
