What’s the problem, exactly? Actors routinely use prosthetics, makeup, and post-production to change their appearance.

And don’t call it “fat-phobic.” She was being asked to play someone with a different body type than her, and the options were either to pretend that Lee Israel was skinny (which would be fat-phobic,…

Please get an editor with a science degree. Please.

But that’s also incomplete.

How much time are you talking about losing? If you don’t live to 80, do you live to 75? 65? 78 and exactly 3 months? And if you’re talking about an overall 6% decrease in the chances that you’ll live to be an age where you’ll likely need massive amounts of medical care to stay alive anyway,…

I’m disappointed this comment isn’t at the top of the page. I fucking hate “science” articles that don’t bother reporting the actual meaning behind the results.

He was criminally underused in The Handmaid’s Tale.

I love that the first paragraph is entirely the product of someone who didn’t read the books.

Ron’s patronus is described in the books. If you missed it, that doesn’t mean Rowling “tinkered” with canon. Dumbledore’s sexuality was also blindingly obvious by the end of Deathly Hallows, but prior to that book, there was…

You seem to have some fucked-up ideas of how to debate anonymous people online. But hey, if personal shots get your motor going, I’m down with that.

Wait a minute... are you flirting with me? 

There is no “law” of sexual harassment. Your workplace may have specific policies regarding inter-employee relations, but that’s not the law.

Really?

What, exactly, is the incident in this article being labeled as “sexual misconduct” by the fuckwits who the AV Club replaced their old staff with?

Why limit it to events at places you work? Never flirt. Ever. It’s always harassment.

Who said it was a work party? The story just says it was a party.

If being bad at flirting is now sexual harassment, then we have to fire everyone from every job, because literally no one is good at flirting.

Somebody requested a killjoy, so here I am!

First, this doesn’t actually diminish the fee owed. So parking violations still place a serious burden on the poor (you know, the people who might need those food banks). But since that system isn’t going to be changed...

It also didn’t help that her accusation reads like a schizophrenic rant. If she’s mentally ill, that doesn’t make her story untrue. But it’s pretty damn hard to find it credible when it’s a confused jumble of unverified claims and blurry pictures of black guys who may or may not be Tyson.

1. You 100% have fecal matter on your hands right now, unless you literally just washed them.

2. Who the fuck combs their hair before eating? What’s wrong with you?

“Grindlewald”?

Also, about every other word coming out of the Harry Potter books is misspelled here. I know it’s a lot to ask writers to check their articles before posting them, but you’re getting paid for something, right?

I guess Peter Jay Fernandez doesn’t count?

Maybe before shit-stirring, you should actually make sure you’re being accurate.

Saved me the trouble of writing the exact same thing. Why do modern reviewers insist that every aspect of a piece of art is instructional and meant to be taken at face value?

“A Girl Worth Fighting For” is emphatically not anywhere near this writer’s description of the piece. Putting it in that context is like trying…

Why did we have to wait all season for the AV Club to start reviewing one of the best-written shows on TV?

I get that it’s the show “no one was asking for,” but I spent most of the season wondering why no one was bothering to cover it.

I can see that side of Gilead, but then June is repeatedly spared from death after doing much, much worse things than Eden did. It felt like some writer really wanted to get the “love is patient” bit in and just couldn’t wait to fully develop a plotline that justified it.

And the Eve moment was even more manipulative by being so outside the realm of what Gilead has been. A girl who could potentially bear children being put to death, when we’ve them do anything and everything to keep handmaids alive but subjugated? It wasn’t thought through.

I could have bought her becoming a handmaid or…
