Sigh...if only firsties still mattered here. Oh well. In memory of the old AVClub, I hereby infect you with cancerAIDS. Enjoy.

First!

I thought the series held up pretty well, but emphatically agree about Sarah Gadon.. she was spectacular there and in ‘Indignation’...

Secret, unreleased origins of the Grunge era.

When he gets old and fat it will naturally expand adding a refectory and an abbey

“Hey you guys remembered to remove that stuff about the REAL killer, right?”

For some reason? Who else is going to tell the weather it would be a lot less volitile if it quit running around on its husband and went back to church? You think Fassbinder or Butler are capable of laying down that needed lesson? I think not!

Dear Frankie. He gets to play a working-class Scotsman and — surprise — it works.

I really hate this article. I’m a huge Harry Hole fan and I can’t wait to see his newest movie. Have you idiots even seen Barely Legal Twinks 1-3? My God talk about a debut. I know most of you are fans of his Bear Hunting series. I know I have watched Bear Hunting 2: Otters Strike Back! quite a few times personally.…

The result is a series of what can only be called pre-geostorms

Lockout is also definitely way up there for me. Not so much as an action pic, but because Guy Pearce is clearly having the time of his life being an extremely droll asshole. He acts like breaking out of Space Jail is like the 10th most exciting thing he’s done that week, I love it.

Also, Joseph Gilgun as the psychotic…

We can talk about the fight scenes in The Raid until we’re blue in the face, and they would deserve our attention—they’re great! That being said, the moment that made me realize I was watching a truly great action film happens when Rama and his wounded fellow-cop are hiding behind the false wall, and the big guy with…

Knees a guy wearing a motorcycle helmet in the face while said guy is still riding the motorcycle at speed.

The hallway fight scene is good but also a bit showy for me — the best fight scene in those shows is the Punisher in prison. Brutal and without bullshit, just a guy fighting for his life and (crucially) absolutely willing to kill.

TOTALLY agree. The sequel ramps up the unnecessary stuff: nauseating kills (I haven’t looked at the claw end of a hammer the same way since I saw it), silly gimmicks (the whole baseball thing was just goofy), and waaaaaay too much plot. All at the expense of solid fight choreography and filming; yes, the…

The broken door kill is one of those things that can’t be overstated. It’s a brilliant move, taking full advantage of the environment in which he is, and filmed with such a punchline (for lack of a better word). I’ve probably shown this movie to five different groups of people, and EVERY TIME that scene hits, everyone…

The Raid: Redemption gave me reborn hope in action / martial arts cinema as a genre. I don’t think I’ve been this pumped after watching a movie since the very first time that I saw “Drunken Master 2", and the fights in The Raid are... maybe... a little bit better?

Pretty sure what you’re talking about is covered by a nondisclosure agreement.

Repeatedly telling somebody “Choke me, Daddy” does not make them your father.

Speaking of Twitter, any word on Zodiac Motherfucker? He’s been silent on Twitter for almost a month.
