I'd also love for you to elaborate on why terror would keep these people from blowing up marathons and gay bars. Do you think the perpetrators believe they will not be punished? That our country is too lax on mass murder penalties?

EDIT to be more constructive: I am not referring to the tiny handful of extremists who perpetrate violent crimes and are universally condemned by the American muslim population. I'm talking about the millions of others who live and work and study among us.

You're drastically oversimplifying decades of messy foreign policy. Hillary murdered them? Murdered? Like Obama and Kerry and Bill Clinton and Albright and every other goddamn president of the past four decades? All of them stone cold murderers, when the obvious solution was sitting in front of them the whole time.

I cannot tell you how many times I've tried to have this argument with someone. It's like arguing with a bumper sticker.

Yeah that'll be really funny when those silly immigrants get deported and Muslims feel terrified of the person leading their country. You'll show those assholes how ironic and principled you are.

Who exactly are you arguing with? Did anyone say "The only reason not to like this film is misogyny?"

You mean like the one who did the official AV Club review of the movie?

If only there were, like, words to go along with those letter grades.

- HIMYM, but for different reasons than most. I'd chop out most of seasons 7, 8, and 9, though I'd leave Time Travelers, the necessary episodes to establish Barney and Robin's relationship, and the last few episodes about the Mother. I'd absolutely leave the finale.
- Excise the bloated middle of A Staggering Work of…

I completely share the torn feeling, and would hate for someone to misunderstand my unease for some "Hell yeah PC SJWs are ruining this country!" crap. The goals are great, and after Zootopia I truly can imagine Disney being gutsy enough to do it. It's the internet mob mentality / "we want this and we want it now"…

Basically detailing the likelihood of such a hashtag gaining traction, and whether said traction would be ironic (Clickhole-style) or sincere. We decided someone could compile a pretty compelling list of reasons why Bernie having a boyfriend would energize the party, and fantasized a bit about how the Tumblr page and C…

I'd like you to know this spawned a long and fruitful conversation in my office

I'm glad you compared this to the recent Frozen campaign. That and the copycat Marvel one ("Give Captain America a boyfriend!") have rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's the same thing that rubs me the wrong way about the Bernie Bro phenomenon or the rise of Trump or (insert any viral populist movement.) It isn't even…

Grand Canyon hands down. No one seems to talk about it, but it's singlehandedly gotten me through at least two breakups.

First Last Days in the Desert, now Fargo. Does Ewan McGregor have some clause in his contract that demands he gets to play two roles in every project now?

Returning to verify that I saw this movie, and it was total garbage. Also the banks will not feel threatened by its "message" at all, unless all banks are secretly run by Dominic West.

I shit you not, the big reveal involves someone realizing the "algo" had "human fingerprints" all over it. And that is not a spoiler, because it doesn't mean a goddamn thing.

Coming back to say that your review might have been too nice to this piece of shit movie. Having seen it, I can attest that being 90s-ish is the least of its crimes. It's just nothing. No stakes, no message, no teeth — it didn't even have the "balls" (cue Morning Zoo sound effects) to be about Wall Street. What a…

Mad Max: Fury Road is my Kid A. On an intellectual level I totally understand why people love its existence: George Miller made something uncompromising and totally his. I just don't understand why the entire world loved watching it.

On the off chance that you aren't totally joking (because the idea of someone who writes for the AV Club being a shill for Big Banks is admittedly funny), you should scroll back and check which reviewer gave The Big Short a positive grade.
