As long as it’s fake, why don’t they do the reaction shot that would fit this moment best and just have someone in the audience projectile barf? Then, they can claim that Jeong and Thicke aren’t in their seats because they went to get that poor audience member some paper towels and club soda.

I’m wondering if the song Giuliani went out on was Unindicted, a slight modification of Alanis Morissette’s Uninvited.

“Always the bullet. I don’t understand.”

I think the biggest problem with the Cruise version of the character is that his Reacher was just basically Ethan Hunt by another name, and I think everyone wisely decided that if we wanted to see more Ethan Hunt, it was better to just make more Mission: Impossible movies than to give Cruise a second franchise where…

That Damien Wayne show sounds like a hard ripoff of Runaways, particularly since Damien, aside from being Batman’s son, was also raised in a supervillain family.

Just wanted to second this. I didn’t watch most of this series, but I kept coming back here to read Gwen’s take. It’s a shame the people running this site are such asshats.

There were seasons where she was the only one actually having any sex worth mentioning on Sex and the City, which even at the time looked like a design flaw.

Thanks Gwen! It’s been a pleasure reading you, and I’ll be eagerly looking to see where you land so that I can continue to do so.

Reading this review, I can’t help but think of We Hate Movies’ takedown of Independence Day: Resurgence, where one of the guys, doing an atrocious German accent has Emmerich saying, “I like the script, it rings a little familiar, but that’s a movie, no? But let me ask you one question: where is the nerd? It needs a…

As someone who’s seen too much The View while visiting relatives in hospitals, having Megan McCain around really helped Whoopi look smarter because dunking on McCain was easy, and smacking down McCain’s flimsy version of rightwing talking points made Whoopi look sober and knowledgeable. Without a useful idiot to…

At the end, Che rips off their mask and wig to reveal that they were Samantha, all along!

The kinda people who sue like this are generally not bleedable. Any judgment against them puts you in line behind the rest of their creditors.

Assholes have been burying Timberlake for decades for not speaking up. While the incident didn’t hurt his career, I wouldn’t go so far as to say silence benefitted him. It made him look like a huge jerk hanging Jackson out to dry. Turns out that what happened is that Jackson, an established superstar, told a much young…

The crazy thing is that in order to disparage her, they actually had to change a line from Tevis’s novel to have the opposite of its meaning. The original version is “There was Nona Gaprindashvili, not up to the level of this tournament, but a player who had met all these Russian Grandmasters many times before.” 

Approved! [gavel sound]

Nothing about AV Club LA seems expert, since experts cost money.

As someone who went through the first Covid winter frequently walking around blind without my glasses on, I feel your pain. A lot of that is finding the right mask. I’ve had good luck with Korean-made KF94s, which make it relatively easy to create a tight seal around my nose and rest my glasses on the mask. Cloth…

Batman (and just about every other super hero) is a volunteer crime fighter who altruistically puts his life at risk and spends his wealth to protect the public. There’s nothing Randian or Galtian about that, regardless of how much will he has or how extraordinary he is. Just the concept of the Bat Signal would…

Because like a lot of things on this site, it claimed to be news, but wasn’t. The headline makes it sound like Raimi didn’t know the status of reshoots because maybe he’d been removed from the reshoot process, which would be news. Except, if that was the case, that would be the headline. Instead, it’s he doesn’t know…

This is AV Club LA, where the only takes are bad takes.
