Yeah every reviewer does this from time to time because writing thoughtful reviews from scratch by yourself is hard. But it felt like it wasn't an attention disorder issue but a " I made a casually dumb comment about hate crimes, got some heat for it, this has caused me to completely give up on this show(that I…

The point of no return for me was when someone threw up her twitter posts after she we post the show's review and just revel in the criticism because she finally got to stick it to the white man and look at all these nerds who don't get paid to talk about tv get trolled. That's paraphrasing but it became obvious she…

It used to be a lot more buggy when it first started( I originally tried to jump in to commenting during the heyday of breaking bad but disqus couldn't process the amount of traffic and would erase my three paragraph comment so I just gave up for a couple years) and the whole transition from the old system and the…

Which is hilarious because the AV Club at least didn't get sued to oblivion because they think that outing people was a good policy to have. For some reason Gawker died but it's DNA continues to spread over into the AV Club.

I just remember when Sonia Saraiya was reviewing season one of the Leftovers and how she basically was over the show by the end of the pilot and phoned in the rest of the reviews and tossed in some casual and frankly unearned racial outrage as the cherry on top of the shit sandwich. When the commenters of reviews got…

I have only really experienced kinja through reading gawker related sites( I liked/like Deadspin so I have ventured into the other sites occasionally reading their comment sections). From my experience on all of the gawker media sites that is way it goes.

More like Reddit but everyone knows that if you want to get ungrayed and have your comment actually seen and responded to you have to either
A) Be as outlandish as possible so the moderator will deem you worthy enough to generate discussion( argumentative trolling discussion of course)
B) Try to agree with…

It's absolutely awful. There is a whole process of approving which comments are immediately visible and which aren't. I feel like this may be the blow that kills the AV Club for me as I refuse to do the Kinja game of trying to be the biggest asshat or swing for the cheap seats in order to have a voice in a discussion.…

That may be the single dumbest thing I have ever read. Try not to confess to any murders you didn't commit please.

I have a friend whose mother only drinks Bud Light Lime anymore and her husband appropriately calls it lemon pledge.

But then you get the persistent clock ticking of season 2 finale and it all evens out in the end.

I asked for WWE to unleash angry, violent Joe last week and other members of the commentariat voiced their agreement and added that a motivated Joe v a motivated Lesnar would/should be a major PPV match. For the first time in a very long time we asked and we have received people. Dreams do come true and our voices…

Eh it was fine. I could at least follow the action which is more than I can say for some superhero movies and some War movies.

Gadot and Pine are both delightful in this while also taking the serious war stuff very seriously. I appreciated that though tbh( Pine also gets off a really well acted monologue about the world being full of bad guys and how we are all to blame).

Sasse didn't laugh. He had the most awkward confused politely smile look on his face.

This is one of those comments of befuddling hypocrisy where I wish life was like the Chappelle Show and we could literally rewind what he said to illustrate the hypocrisy of the statement for the public.

Funeral is a way more complex sounding template for that indie rock sound that has sustains a whole genre of music and occasionally bubbles up into pop music. But you are not wrong in that there have been dance elements in all their albums( except Neon Bible). Haiti and Wake Up probably have awesome club remixes…

Creature Comfort is a blast

Idk man it's every person's choice to engage with language how they please to and they have the right to do so knowing and social and historical context surrounding hundreds of slur words.

It's a racist remark. To equate yourself to a slave hand so casually with such a charged up word shows a lack of respect for the what word represents and the context of the word.
