Even though I generally agree with the review, I find it annoying that every single review of Modern Family, without fail, has to start with a mini-essay on how the show has been on for a long time, and maybe it used to be better. AV Club is the same with the Simpsons. The intro-essays are practically…

You KNOW Hollywood has a list they work backwards from…Homecoming…Returns…Awakens…Infinite…Zero(Hour)…Vengeance…Dawn…Dusk…Twilight…Beginnings…Revelations…Origins…The Beginning…The Awakening…The Next Chapter…the Next Generation…Take Manhattan(Broadway)…What else??

Speaking as a grown man, I'd like to see something that focuses on Tinkerbell. Seriously! Disney has made her into something else entirely, but the original character, and her dynamic with Peter, is really interesting. Even though Pete hangs with a posse of other boys, his very best friend is this tiny, magical,…

Warren Beatty is still alive?! My god…I was sure he was the kind of actor who "passed away quietly with family" a good fifteen years ago.

Not reacting to the details, more just the general tone of "Wah, this Batman thing was so serious, so I hate it and it's awful!"

Yes, Batman is generally grim and serious stuff. For the most part, he always has been. It's mostly inherent. Do you really want Batman to be winky and silly and overtly self-aware? Batman Forever is reviled for a reason, people. Go to Spidey if you insist on your building-slinging vigilante being a goofster. There's…

…because throwing out Jesus at random is…gonna make America great again…or something? Yay, Jesus, so long as he doesn't get in the way of…the NASCAR Sprint Cup! All day, every Sunday, until the day you die!

Uuughooh…"Now we present, Fox's presentation of the Bible's presentation of Gospel Music Stuff, in primetime…for some reason! LIVE!"

They seemed to be going for the old, "Smarmy guy wins everyone over and humiliates the nice guy, and no one but the nice guy sees it" thing…which I hate. It's not only frustrating, it makes most of the cast seem like idiots and jerks. Of course Mike is being a dick to Phil, okay, but it makes the rest of the cast…

I'm just impressed this episode managed to air at a regular time one week after the last episode. No "Two weeks from now…" in order to make room for…what? The NASCAR Sprint Cup, usually, which seems to be happening during about 90% of every year. Does anyone ever win the "Sprint Cup"? Does it even matter when about 9…

In my mind, Jason Todd is constantly poised to troll the superhero internet. "Oh wah wah, one of your teammates died? I got beat up with a crowbar and blown up, and people VOTED for me to die! And it took 20 years for me to come back! Laurel will be back next season somehow or another, but then again…no one VOTED for…

In this storm of emotion, is it weird that I really admired the makeup team in this episode? It really took me aback how raw Laurel in the hospital bed, just drained and weak, while still fighting on. To me, she honestly looked like someone who had just come out of surgery and felt like crap, and it made…that scene…so…

I had a bad experience a few years ago rewatching Angry Beavers as an adult, and being severely disappointed at how lame it actually was…But Animaniacs is actually better now than when I was eight! I watched a couple of episodes and was cracking up like crazy at all the dumb/clever allusions and puns and sight gags I…

I think, whatever happens in the next few episodes, a time jump is in order at the end of this season. Five years, maybe? Let's see this group of jerks and losers actually trying to raise humanity's latest and possibly last group of kiddos in a world where all the old resources have finally started expiring for good,…

They've been trying for a long time, more than most networks, but the CW still tends to think intimacy in a gay couple is awkward smiling, pleasantries, and vague pawing. Y'know, like how you are with that grandma you aren't actually very close with.

It also makes Oliver seem self-centered, focusing in on all his hard times when the real message he should have come back from the island with is…magic is REAL, ya'll! MAGIC! I saw it so many times! Save the city, sure, okay…but there's actual wizards in the world! C'mon!

Sooo, hate to admit it, but for awhile now I've hit mute and gone off to work in dinner or somethin' whenever the screen goes WOOSH and the flashbacks come up.
Angry Russian girl and magical military guy, and…ugh, can we just get to some phase where Oliver is alone on the the damn island, surviving it up and growing…

If the Flash keeps zipping around through time and dimensions like this, we just might be entitled to a cameo by "Buried Alien" winning a goofy race to the moon in a future Marvel movie.
Officially Fastest Man Alive in all franchises!

So Barry just keeps going back in time, over and over, to replay events with deepening layers of people masquerading as versions of themselves and others in the hopes of making sense of it all…I finally get Synecdoche, New York! Philip Seymour Hoffman is the Flash with a MacArthur grant!

Of course! My problem is that they decided they would treat this movie as nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek piece of crap joke from the get-go. They never had any intention of taking it seriously. The review was 3/4 written before the critic even saw the movie. They saw it and declared, "It's LOUD and there's…
