Rob Reiner was on an insanely good run at the time: Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, Princess Bride When Harry Met Sally ... Misery? The man could do anything.

AV Club keeps loading funny. Anyone else having this issue? It’s like at half screen, with half the screen middle up to edge of screen all white, lower half only 50% of the article.

Say what you want about the sequels, but I remember walking out of the The Last Jedi and hearing some 30ish guy behind me whine, “Whatever, the prequels were much better.”
