“Last time I checked, no one in Russia gave a fuck about Americans being killed by the government.” My favorite part of this is the idea that you checked. “The last time I pulled something out of my ass, I credited it to a nation of millions.”

You can’t just pretend you have a point to sound smart.

He’s not American. I think you probably understand that, and you’re trying to make a point with an example, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what that point is.

They’re risking their lives and freedom to oppose Putin, and in doing so, they help demonstrate how monstrous Putin’s regime is in a high profile way, for the world to see. They don’t have to be genius strategists, or muckraking journalists, or political philosophers to make a difference. They are taking very, very…

Friendly reminder that the AV Club comments section is now a dumpster fire.

How can this actually be someone’s take on the victims in this case? He is using his celebrity/infamy to try to highlight the corruption and profoundly evil nature of his country’s government, directly relating to his and his friends’ safety. To think that they are running on the World Cup pitch to simply commit a…

So they deserve to be killed?

They have about the same number of meaningful insights as any other punk band/art collective/sentient Twitter bot. What they say or do is not the problem. That they were likely poisoned by their own government for what they say and do is the issue. That, IGAF about.

Actually, I do have a gripping story about Clerks. Back in 1993 a close friend of mine headed out to New Jersey to shoot a film his friend from film school wrote. A few months later he gave me a VHS tape with the first ever rough cut of Clerks on it. I was one of the very first people to ever see that film. If I’m…

The key that makes Mulaney hilarious [to me] is that he crosses every ‘t’ and dots every ‘i.’

That’s wildly inaccurate. Lynch wanted 18 episodes, Showtime wanted it reduced to 9, and he almost walked away from the project until they agreed to give him everything he wanted to complete their vision for the series.

With each passing day, I mourn The Return. I miss it so much. It’s a gift, and may go down as one of — if not singularly — my favorite piece of tv/cinema/visual art.

I had never heard of the show before they won the award, then we watched the first season and were blown away. This is one of the best shows on right now and I wish it got more attention. Rachel’s performance is amazing.

“The Uploader has not made this video available in your country”

You know the guest doesn’t write the show right? She just made jimmy Schmidt, a musical, and has about 10 other things in various stages of development, right? So what the fuck exactly are you basing that on?

Don’t you mean resting on her yannys?

(Nora Zehetner, sorely wasted)

Exactly. This was a show that should have been about desperation and toil of the pure chaos that would come from such an attack.

There’s definitely French and German - my French isn’t great so it’s possible there’s also Farsi and I’m not detecting it. The line Alex mentioned is definitely German though “Jeder versteckt sich hinter eine maske”
