A prestige TV remake of Friday the 13th sounds absolutely fucking awful regardless of Fuller being attached. I don’t want to watch 7 episodes of backstory about Jason’s mother’s traumatic past and 1 episode where Jason looks at a hockey mask and maybe kills someone half accidentally in the last 5 minutes setting up…

I live my life knowing this man would’ve hated everything about me

I worked at a theater in NYC in 2007 (I was only 23 at the time).  There was a possibility he’d be attending an opening night party, and multiple people told me to watch out for myself.  People in the industry knew for years, no question.

I hope he haunts your dumb ass for calling him a producer.

The cranky bastard. I’ll miss him.

Good list! I’d just like to point out that all of the awesome deaths in the best Final Destination movie, happens during the day.

Amazon sacrifices more money on the nerd altar. Any nerd altar.

I really didn’t think I’d ever think this but... has AV Club actually gotten markedly better, very quickly, since the sale? Like, actual music reviews and more interesting columns/articles? Kinda feels like, I don’t know, the people working there kind of give a shit, even if some of the writing makes me feel a million…

I would’ve been interested to hear a queer take in this conversation. With a few recent exceptions, rom coms are sort of all about drooling over heteronormativity. 

When it comes to celebrities, the ones who don’t look like they had worn done are just the ones who had the best work done.

Oh , and Cornelius remix of Tender> Tender , by a lot .

Found the American.

OSC is a different case. If you read his articles and essays in conjunction with his fiction, you will wind up with the picture of a lifelong Mormon who hates himself for being gay. This is a man who has stated unironically that if men weren’t forced to marry women, they’d all be having much more pleasurable sex with…

I don’t actually do that, I’m just using it for the example. That is part of why I dislike the binge model, because it incentivizes that kind of shit. It takes the hard work of a group of people and turns it into a content vending machine. I seriously doubt shows like Breaking Bad or The Wire would be as esteemed as…

I would absolutely prefer weekly releases where, in the following week, I’m thinking about the show and the direction it’s headed, to getting an entire season drop where I watch it all in one sitting and immediately forget about it for a year.

I never played Fallout Shelter, the vault management sim, but I guess concentrating so much story here is something for those fans?

Agreed on this episode having two big video game beats. The clear of the Super Duper Mart and the Vault Exploration/Discovery scenes. It’s amazing to me how well they have nailed the look and feel of these things to the things you do in the games. At least FO3 and onward. It is uncanny and bizarrely thrilling to…

...crash course on who gets to eat who out in the Wasteland.

Holy shit, you are right! Should I contact President Biden about this? Or should I go right to the U.N.? This will not stand!

I remember the last cross country road trip I went on. I walked into a murder in every town I stopped in. I managed to get some hapless local arrested for it every time. No one ever figured out it was me all along.
