It’s almost like Disqus, but without The AVC community behind it.

I heard an interview with Clooney once where he said that when offered the role he didn’t think past “Of course I want to play Batman.” He said that was the last time he ever agreed to a role without reading the script. I imagine Affleck’s reaction was much the same.
i misread this as “cards against hannity” & thought, “say, where can i buy a pack of those?”
I don’t think that’s the problem at all. Remember, he was excited enough to agree to write and direct the next Batman movie, then things went south. My guess is that the studio hated his script and relations between Affleck and the studio went so far south that he’d rather get out of Gotham entirely than merely act in…
Well the acronym name is ST: D
Sigh.
The idea that all “stands” require sacrifice of some kind is the type of all or nothing political demands that don’t necessarily affect change. 1) It’s fucking ableist/essentialist/elitist as hell - not everyone can “afford” sacrifice as a general principle, therefore it is not the litmus of taking a stand. 2)…
This person doesn’t understand how the industry works and they try to act like a cool jaded “realist” lol sounds like a teenager who thinks they’re really smart.
I just want to chime in here and say I agree - you are an asshole. Since big corporations “don’t care about me” why should I make any moral-based purchasing decisions AT ALL? “Jeez Disney doesn’t care about your measly one ticket so you might as well go see Thor anyway!” Hey moron, relatively small actions are how big…
You know you could save everyone a lot of time by just writing “I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT” in the text of all your posts in this thread.
Despite repeated attempts to explain, you don’t seem to get what the actual “stand” is, or maybe how media and reporting works, particularly cultural criticism.
The LAT ban by Disney puts the LAT at a supposed disadvantage to competitor publications. In an industry about “speed”, the LAT is forced to wait, and to pay…
Yes they did tho
Good. And wow already the kinja-dipshits have arrived bitching about Avclub trying to do the right thing, like omg so lame I kno. Fuck off dipshits, if places like the AVClub hadn’t done anything you would’ve been whiny dipshits like you already are.
Why is everyone roasting the AV Club for this? It is the right thing to do and even if they are not the Times or The Post, it still matters.
When Kinja sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing trolls. They’re bringing Alt-right racists. They’re Russian bots. And some, I assume, are good…
So you guys are including your own tweets in articles now?
Now, the messaging platform that hasn’t had a development staff in the last six years—let alone a significant part of the market share
So?
Jeez, way to spoil the first season of a show that you guys are ostensibly promoting, in which the spoiler is the whole thing!
