Very disappointing that none of the episodes from the Rita arc made it on the list!

in this case he didn’t even say anything untoward! someone said something untoward about him!

Very true. Life of Pablo was forgettable and everything since has been unlistenable.

Yes, his early music is brilliant but I can’t bring myself to listen to it since he went “death-con 3" on the Jewish people.

Order of the Phoenix was my favorite of the books as well, and I think it almost works as a movie if you can forget that the book exists, but as a work of adaptation it pales beside the original’s immersive feel and Dickensian plotting.

Let’s not forget that the entire plot of the third movie hinges on the outcome of an election that is decided, not by voting, but by a magical deer.

I think Warner Brothers made a mistake in having him direct the final four Harry Potter films. They were doing so well after the one-two punch of Cuaron’s Azkaban and Mike Newell’s Goblet of Fire - one a franchise-defining work by an actual genius, the other a solidly crafted coming-of-age whodunit. I wish they had…

I always thought the lack of resolution to the crimes was the point of the movie. These men are obsessing over a mystery with no hope of an answer.

I think the AV Club writers are contractually obligated to include one baffling decision in every listicle just to keep us talking.

I remember reading American Gods as a teenager and for some reason being amazed when Low-Key Lye-Smith was revealed to be Loki Lie-Smith.

Thank you for reminding me that I need to revisit Kurosawa’s Dreams, which Scorsese partially funded.

I thought the problem with Star Wars is that it can’t *let go* of the Skywalker family.

I don’t know if I would call Shutter Island Scorsese’s “first foray into noirish 1950s psychological horror” when Cape Fear exists.

On the bright side, I suspect “Ray Greene” is a pseudonym for their chatbot.

Legitimately the dumbest thing I've ever read on the AV Club, and I've been here a horrifyingly long time. 

As a fan of Dickens, David Thewlis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, I’m so there.

“...throw in some brain-scrambling illusions that would bedazzle David Copperfield”

David Copperfield lived in the Victorian era so he would probably be bedazzled by a number of things.

We were watching Ian McDiarmid in an episode of Morse the other night and he was the best-ever villain on *that* show. He also did a wonderful Lucifer in BBC Radio’s Paradise Lost.

“Somehow, Jesus has returned!" 

I know it's a book series but the Christ Clone Trilogy falls under this trope.
