Comments critiquing this blog for being moderately lefty and not straight journalism are one of the more exhausting parts of kinja-era AV Club.

It’s been a couple years since I’ve seen it, but I enjoyed it at the time. I also like Megan Fox when she’s not being leered at in Transformers (her New Girl part worked well for me), and Diablo Cody’s writing style is just a style, like screwball comedy dialogue was a style or noir is a style. Juno’s tweeness and “no…

Nah, I disagree with that read. I mean, I’ll never defend Snyder as a person, but I love Man of Steel, and have never agreed with the objectivist readings. MoS is an immigrant story, primarily.

I’m curious to know the hierarchy of your outrage towards comedians who make controversial statements? 

He proved with GiTs that he can’t handle a deep story or characterization

People are giving Sanders flack, but I think it’s because he’s less visible. People hear his name are like “He’s still around?” He’s an interchangeable, white director, his only high point being that he had an affair with Kristen Stewart (whose career has been doing far better than his, good for her).
