This show is political because it suggests a way to survive Trump’s presidency: lure him into an underground bunker and detonate a nuke.

No. It’s a show about parasitic worms that turn everyone into John Malkovich.

Bilbo did not find the ring in the Lonely Mountain. He got it in the Goblin Caves after it got away from Gollum. If he engineered the whole expedition to get the ring, they could have turned around right then. Or he could have turned invisible and gone home.

Being expected to like something is the best way to wind up fucking hate it.

Things that get super backlashy I tend to just leave completely alone, partially because I don’t want to choose a side, and partially because all that shit is very tiring. I don’t think I would like Girls anyway, but I also avoided it for this reason.

Yaaaaassssssss. Basic AF.

TPM is definitely better then it’s reputation. It actually serves as a pretty neat introduction to the Star Wars universe.

More and more I’m coming to the conclusion that the reason I’ve hung out on the AV Club for over a decade is that I get introduced to good pop culture without getting put off by the die hard fans. People who come here want to talk about many things they like. They usually aren’t wrapped up in one single show or band…

I just want to say that throwing shade at those stupid phrases is on fleek. Way to dunk on them.

The internet can introduce you to amazing stuff you never got to hear about normally (Thank you to introducing me to Joy Division/New Order/Stone Roses) but man some of the fan communities can be the fucking worst.

Podcasts. I still haven’t hopped full onto the Macelroy train as much as all my friends consume all of their ever expanding universe of shows, as I still retain some of my dignity.

Parks & Rec. I’d catch portions of the marathons they played on weekends on some channel, and never really got it. I have no idea why it eventually clicked and I started liking it.

I’m surprised it’s even legal to skip over broadcasting a title sequence that contains the cast and crew credits. I mean, those credits are a contractual agreement, part of the compensation the cast and crew are entitled to. Yes, viewers have always had the choice to walk out of the theater or turn off the TV when the…

Peak TV: When there are other examples that support your thesis but you don’t know they exist because you forgot the Castlevania show was a thing that happened because Netflix releases too many TV shows.

In order for me to do that, I have to turn my controller back on and then press A and then turn it off again, so i just let the titles play

How about the end credits... as someone who works in the industry I think its a slap in the face that they just decide to not only a) squeeze the end credits into a tiny unreadable 1/8th of the screen, while they advertise all the other shows you’re sure to love and b) they only let that 1/8th square stay up for maybe…

I love that Netflix has the option to skip intros. Some intros just aren’t worth the time. But I hate when they autoskip them. They even do this on some kids shows! Don’t they understand it’s ninety percent of what gets the kids to watch the show?

This sounds really interesting. I’m totally in. This and the fishmonster love story both coming out in the same week seems odd o me.

This Hellboy version appears to be more flesh like (with veins and such) while Perlman’s version looked more like stone. The question I have is will the new Hellboy be the angry warrior (like the picture) or will he be the world weary warrior of Perlman?

He has not been cast, but not many actors are involved with this film yet, so who’s to say. I imagine he’ll be CGI with someone voicing him.
