Only two comments to get to the Nazi comparison, bravo.

Ah yes, the dictionary definition, which supersedes any de facto role that one of six producers might actually play in a movie’s production.

I get what he’s getting at but if this is presenting the context of what he said accurately, I don’t think this is the best way to say it.

And the thing about fan service is, it does the opposite in the long run. It’s just catering to existing fans, but not creating new ones. I doubt any younger people who didn’t grow up with the Ghostbusters will see this film and think, “Yes, this is the franchise for me!” It will just seem weird and inscrutable, full…

What bothered me about Lowery in Jurassic World is that in-universe his love of the original makes no sense. It was a theme park that fell apart on the first test run that resulted in the deaths of several people. There is nothing “legit” about it. 

You can’t just shift tone like that in a few months.  There’s no way.

SR IV was quite loved and quite successful...so it’s a bit odd to say it made no sense.

I never understood this take. Who cares if the guns and cars are necessary? If it’s more fun to use your superpowers to fight and move around, what exactly is the problem?

Lived my whole life in LA. No one from here is going to call the arena anything but Staples Center. There’s too much emotional attachment and civic pride in the place. I know it’s named after a previous corporation that paid for naming rights, but they were the first. We saw 6 NBA champions, and 2 Stanley Cups with…

You call him pedantic and yet you come here stating your opinion as facts...

the old guard regardless of whether you liked it or not is a REALLY BAD movie

To be fair, their first choice quit

I can’t disagree with this statement by Hawley, and I can only hope that the January 6th Commission will hold Hawley responsible for his seditious behavior that furthered an attempt to overthrow the United States government.

Remember folks don’t ungrey or reply to any trolls in the comments section. If you wanna call out a transphobes post a screenshot in a separate thread. Replying to them only boots their thread to the top of the comments. 

As an actual comedian, we talk about punching up vs down *all the time.* The only comedians who DON’T care about that discussion are unrepetant assholes.

As usual American Dad gets the shaft (season 7's “Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls” is phenomenal).

I’m generally disinclined to get into it with people who talk about how critics need to be “objective” and refer to movies as “content,” but I do like talking about myself so I’m going to humor you, User Named Mark.

You’re correct -- there IS an agenda afoot. It’s all part of a nefarious plot to tell you my opinions about movies!!!

“Well, IGN says the latest Call of Duty sequel is 10 out 10 and has a little bit of fun for everyone, any critic that disagrees is clearly not doing their job right”
-A lot of fucking idiots

Dude, if you’ve convinced yourself that the older, kinja-less version of the AVClub would go any easier on this trifle, I don’t know what to tell you.
