"Sundaze", you mean.

So…this filmmaker sucks? Or Maybe Pleasantville sucks? Or…wait, what am I supposed to be deriding here? An obscure filmmaker gets pretentious about a 20-year-old movie on youtube, and we're obviously expected to critique and mock…something. For some reason. *Ahem, okay, Kentucker Audley is a hypocrite and a hack and

I think the show played too many super hero cards too early, and have hit the old Superman problem of "If he's this damn powerful, what kind of stories can we even tell? What force in the universe stands a chance??" They've played Evil, Faster Speedsters twice already…depowered him….killed off a few people as

I'm all for the superhero logic of a single arrow to the shoulder taking a guy out, but I also wouldn't mind a little lampshading humor about it. Dahrk: "Report in, Alpha Commander! Why aren't you pursuing?"
"I have…an arrow…in my shoulder…and it huuuuuurts!"
"Well, get up and keep shooting!"
"I

For once, the strategy of yelling "Fight it!" at a loved one under mind control actually worked! Then again, this is Thea "Speedy" Queen—those yellow pills were probably Altoids compared to what she was on to graduate high school after her brother and father died at sea.

The metapocalypse (sigh) must have led to a huge spark in reprisals against innocent goth girls with the revelation that Evil Chicks always wear dark lipstick.

The Flash/Arrow-verse sure loves its Bad Guy Gets Hit By A Car deus ex, It's like the opposite of the trope of speeding truck blaring its horn coming down the road to mow down some people, and usually just keep barreling along after smashing through a car or something, 'cause big rigs don't have brakes, and

Bring on Constantine, too. I'm all for the CW primetime becoming the DC Live Action Super Block. Seriously! Bring on some Batman, Superman, and Justice League cartoon reruns in the after hours to boot, and I'll never have to truly grow up at all.

Thea and Alex is about the worst paring the show has ever tried to force. He's a white bread sleaze with no personality who is now a white bread henchman, totally into this insane cause. And even so, even though he was was the one who drugged Thea and literally dragged her into all of this, she still reacts with

Shooting meteors in the original Dead Space. I almost gave up on the game entirely based on that nonsense alone, despite how much I loved it before and after. And then my girlfriend got into the game only to come begging to me to do the meteor shooting part for her, and here we went again….

Alright, I can dig it. I won't go to the matresses defending any CW show. It's ridiculous melodrama by design. I've just become irritated by people getting up in arms over the show's plot beats based on fervent comic book loyalty. I freely admit it's a dumb show, but it's a dumb show that I find a lot of fun. And if

Cool. So what do you even care? Why make comments about a show you aren't even watching anymore? What's the payoff?

…So stop watching? Why have you been watching a show you don't like for "ages"? What, just to get mad about it week after week? Stop watching. No one cares. Spend time watching shows you do like and make comments about that.

I like to think that Kevin Smith was given a choice between doing The Flash and Arrow, only to be told, "Er, a lot comic geeks are unreasonably furious with Arrow right now…Something about 'mythology'…" And Smith just rolled his eyes and was like, "I still get shit for bringing Oliver Queen back from the grave. I'll

"When the future ran out of heroes, the future turned to the past…" "I'm no hero! I'm just a man with a sword!" "And that sword, and this man, can be just what the future needs! Be that man…use that sword…be Zorro! And kill those robots! Recover the the Alpha Device before System Ultimate goes critical!"

I feel like the AV Club content must sometimes be written by a deeply confused, jaded 14-year-old girl . "I like, like, this album, but I wonder if like liking it makes me too cool to like it?I It's, like, the best thing I've ever heard, which makes it the worst, 'cause if you like it, you, like, shouldn't. Except you

Cats must be the most wildly mocked, derided show that most people (myself included) haven't seen and have no actual familiarity with. Watch it suddenly become a beloved phenomenon.

I dunno, has anyone else watched Quest for Fire recently? Dumb looking mammoths aside, it's pretty fantastic. All fighting and nudity and pretty vistas and great costumes, with plenty of authenticity and creative acting to boot! I'd watch a series of that.

Remaking Hamlet?! Have they no respect for the mythology?! I swear,Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.

In the worst twist in pop culture history, this is secretly Fox's long-awaited revival of Firefly. Zoe is a hilariously fat and jive, Simon is a lisping flamer, Jayne constantly hints at all the humorous date rapes he's committed across the galaxy, and Mal is now a Rat Pack parody for some reason.
