Yes, I have - and the ‘Politics’ section is clearly set apart from other topics - and even then, why would you warn anybody about the liberal slant a site supposedly has? If your point is valid, and you know how to communicate with others, you should have no problems. But sure, keep on segregating stuff - that helps.

Well, the original was at its core also a family dinner party.

*then - and you’re the only one making it ‘political’.

I guess they want blind men to have mercy on them.

Yeah - same here; I still hang around here because I’m not ready or really willing to go to another site, but even without knowing about all the trouble at the AV Club office until now, I could tell by the overall tone and quality of the articles that things were not well. That, combined with the messed-up Kinja stuff…

There was a gag on Curb about him getting yelled at because of his resemblance to Harvey Weinstein. This isn’t helping matters much.

Surely it’s a struggle for them to write anything, knowing they’ve got a tremendous (and tremendously critical) audience - and each one of them with their own opinion. Back in the mid-2000s, I was a music journalist for quite a while, covering concerts, demos, and record releases, in a tiny Central-European country - a…

Also, I think blaming Facebook for its content is like blaming ink for what’s in the newspaper. Personally, I filter out unreliable news outlets, immediately block any of my ‘friends’ who spout antivaxx, QAnon, or other right-wing nonsense, and have a pretty decent ad blocker installed, so I don’t really get what…

Yeah, the rotoscopic effect was kinda done over thirty years ago by now - except for those two Linklater ones. It seems totally unjustified when the first image from the trailer says that there was ‘no other work of animation like this’. When you’re doing a throwback regarding style and substance, at least own it -…

Hey, no problem. Of course, it’s a dramatization of the actual events, but it’s an interesting one, and the facts are quite murky anyways - it’s a particularly unclear part of our history, for obvious reasons.

Sorry, I saw your comment too late and posted the exact same thing. No idea how to delete that comment. Oh well.

Agora, in which Rachel Weisz plays Hypatia, is a pretty good movie about that entire situation.

Sorry, but didn’t anyone catch the ‘glitch’ in Archer’s consciousness, right before he says ‘What ‘what’? Everything’s normal!’

Well, I actually consider Radio Days to be one of his most navel-gazing cinematic efforts; I think it’s okay for an author to recount their childhood experiences, as long as they amount to a somewhat interesting or original story - and that one’s neither.

I still kinda like Zelig, Bananas, and Love and Death - but it’s hardly a coincidence that those three comedies are NOT about neurotic, bourgeois New Yorkers and young girls. Not sure if I’ll ever rewatch them, but I still have fond memories of those.

Am I wrong in assuming a red herring only works when the actual conclusion is somewhat surprising or interesting?

I thought it was boring and nonsensical. There’s hardly any character development except for the usual clichés, the main story line (the disappearing mother) goes absolutely nowhere, the music was awful and annoyingly ‘quaint’, and once again, the Sherlock and Mycroft personas were terribly mishandled. Actually, the…

How about pool and chess? My favourite sports, but that merely coincidental.

Call me crazy, but all of the things you point out as blunders might point in the direction of Archer’s lack of interest in other people’s specifics - as in: he’s still in a coma, and we’re still seeing things through his inner eye.

Yeah, the narrator was pretty much unnecessary, no matter if he’s the author of the original novel, and the pacing seemed quite a way off - but I liked it anyways. For me, it was like the bastard child of The Killer Inside Me and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints - which isn’t a bad thing. Also: this is one of the few ‘big…
