After rereading that stray observation re Che’s vaccine posture—and even presenting it to my partner for her interpretation—I’m still unsure whether it’s entirely facetious or communicating some genuine ambivalence.

“Flaming Creatures” headlined the Fortas Film Festival — Strom Thurmond’s masterpiece of film programming.

Either way, Vadim knew exactly what he was doing...

As far as I can recall, the movie never makes it clear that they’re supposed to be anything other than siblings.

If we’re still being pedantic, then yes, the building is still there, but it’s not a textbook warehouse. It’s now an administrative building for Dallas County with a museum on the sixth floor.

The Texas School Book Depository was on Elm Street. That’s the nightmare he’s referring to.

COLD WAR opens in limited release this weekend but should end up on Amazon before long. (Despite the Academy ratio, it’s even better on a big screen.) BURNING had a limited release in November but seems to be popping up again here and there because of lists like these. I’m guessing the same will hold true for…

Going out on a limb here, but isn’t it always one’s own responsibility to avoid potentially upsetting people/ideas/situations—especially in public?

You’re absolutely right that it’s a shame. And it’s been painful watching the Dissolve’s train wreck play out in slow motion here. But O’Neal is as insightful as Tobias and Phipps, and all three deserve better. If it takes a paywall, where do I punch in my credit card number? (And despite a lot of hard work, that…

Jesus I remember when the AV Club’s site was an afterthought—something to dick around on between print editions. And then they hired this guy to start writing these things called “newswires.” He churned them out like a machine and they were hilarious. So good, in fact, the site’s entire posture sort of changed to ape…

It could have come at the end; but from a business perspective, why wait?

Sure, but the fact is that this series needed a course correction. Abrams’s movie was a pleasant enough nostalgia trip, but Disney can’t keep cranking out crypto-remakes—especially on their movie-per-year timetable. Harrison Ford would rather be doing anything else; Carrie Fisher is dead. If Disney wants to keep…

It legitimately gave me nightmares. Can’t remember the last time a movie did that to me. And, after actually watching the video, I want to add that it’s extremely funny too.

Between Eizabeth’s ambition-fueled hypothetical and their dual inability to even envision Philip’s proxy life, that exchange betrays just how fully American they’ve become.

Forgive me for being dense. Can someone please explain (preferably without outright ruining the ending for everyone else) what Mike is alluding to when he says that “Arlington” is a hint? Something about the cemetery?

My guess is that Bernard stole the brain-thing on his own accord in order to make a copy of himself. Charlotte, then, is doing the same thing to Bernard we saw William doing to Delos—burning through Bernard-bots in order to find her package.

Why not take Bernard into custody? Here’s my guess: we know from the trailer that there are multiple Bernards and that Charlotte knows there are multiple Bernards too. Charlotte—for whatever reason—needs the package to look like a guest in order to smuggle it out. (Abernathy was babbling about a train.) So in order to…

Thanks for clarifying. (Still doesn’t solve the whole being-attracted-to-a-foxy-mass-murderer problem.)

Bernard pretty clearly transmitted whatever was in Abernathy’s head into his own just before the latter was hauled away. So at this point, zombie Clem has “the package.” Charlotte’s later behavior toward anmesiac Bernard seemed to indicate that she’s onto him. More and more, I’m thinking we can take that “I killed…
