Thats fair.  I'm referring more to how it's portraying the brotherhood as an overall unit as opposed to the individuals within.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen Copland. Just L.A. Noire, and there he was the cop carrying the entire Automobile department (it’s set in 1947, when cars, and vehicular crimes, were so new they had their own detective department).

Starred because of the Rollerball reference. I love that film. So many people who haven’t seen it dismiss it as “that futuristic roller derby movie” but it is so much more than that.

Abbreviated from her laboratory name “CX404.”

Bloated? Jesus fucking christ, would you be happy instead with the Disney Plus model of decompression and have 20-30 minutes episodes that barely move the plot forward?

probably for people just looking for a space online to discuss the ep with other internet randos, esp ones who recall the AV club back in its prime

“If Wilzig has a name for his pet pooch, I couldn’t catch it;". Pretty sure he called it Four

Masterstroke of dialogue here, (and I’m paraphrasing)

Since the soundtracks are pretty much my favorite thing about the games, I will respectfully disagree.

I also feel like the TLOU and FO shows are taking two entirely different approaches, with TLOU’s being “let’s take this video game premise and tell it as realistically as possible” and Fallout’s being “make a new…

Your optimism has been noted, and will be appropriately punished, in the order in which it was received.

Daisy Haggard is good. I never understand why Doctor Who cast her as James Corden’s love interest & then brought him back for a followup  to that episode but not her 

Like a lot of cultural touchstone references, you don’t have to have read Proust to know the basic fundamental reference. It’s done in Ratatouille when the food critic has one bite of his dish and is transported back to childhood and his mother’s cooking. So, Pixar respects its audience more than Warner respects…

What am I supposed to do, read an entire article? 

good job reading

“especially since it’s still not clear what Maximus actually wants, beyond getting to be treated like a hero”

White folks were mad mad. Like they’d never seen a rich person with a top-notch legal team outwit the LAPD. They were really counting on racism to carry the day.

Ernie Hudson: “Something something paycheck”

In the time it took for Netflix to turn down Snootworld, they probably greenlighted five Millie Bobbie Brown vehicles that she will later admit to never having seen.
