Pretty sure Furio was just being a dick.

That whole Ringer family of entertainment is just bumming me out right now. Everything I see from anyone associated with Simmons has just devolved into this sort of smarmy, low-effort sludge. It really seems like Grantland had enough editorial oversight and devotion to quality to outweigh his worst excesses. I'm not…

As someone who didn't think they gave much of a shit about the royal family I'm finding Netflix's The Crown very compelling and interesting. It seems like it's constantly on the edge of slipping into soap or pure period porn but the performances are grounded and human enough to win out, especially (so far) Jared…

Not that I've ever seen a huge overlap between these comments and his fanbase but I figure I'll just mention that Bill Simmons's boring, uninspired sports talk show finally got axed by HBO on Friday. Hope this makes him realize that if he's going to be an on-screen personality (which he shouldn't be), he needs someone…

The guy who plays the conservative brother is way funnier than the liberal one, IMO.

Yeah I probably have the number wrong but I remember noticing the discrepancy and thinking it was a production error the first time through.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that might tip someone off the first time is the title card saying there are 8 lifeforms aboard the Nostromo, and then noticing that with the cat it should technically be 9. But other than that, it comes out of nowhere, and the aesthetic of the movie up to that point has been so gritty…

Is this a hot take? I think the reveal that Ian Holm's character is an android is the scariest part of the original Alien, even more than anything involving the titular monster.

I mean he's right though. Weed addiction is pathetic.

There's that, and then there was an incident 6 months ago where Adomian loudly voiced his view on Twitter that the AV Club's bias (and y'know, not his status as an E-Lister) was causing them to purposely ignore reviewing his Bernie vs. Trump tour. Teti politely disagreed, Adomian did what he always does by ranting…

Man that "modernized, realistic hero puts on their classic costume and decides it looks too goofy" gag is never gonna die, huh?

Oh I know what you mean, and my first reaction was to point out that difference as well. But the author knows that already, she's making a larger point about how language like that unconsciously betrays how sometimes even mundane aspects of black-centered fiction can be mistaken as nothing more than frivolous…

On the other hand, he didn't seem to be acting like much more than an outright bully in the earlier scene where he goes in to Pop's to look for the last accomplice. Not sure how that squares with him being distraught at his death.

So much so that I truly thought they splurged on the de-aging CGI.

"A lot has been said in the comments about the “world-building” of the non-essential dialogue. I haven’t thought of this as “world-building” because there isn’t a world to be built here. Harlem is a real place full of real black people having real black-ass conversations like the ones on screen."

I don't think his argument about how representation doesn't matter was supposed to be taken as in character though.

I invariably fail to finish these Marvel tv seasons and this show was no exception. They always peter out and become slow moving and aimless in the middle, the dialogue is nothing special, save for the one cool memified fight scene a year the cinematography is pedestrian, and for the love of god how is impossible for…

I can see Euron Greyjoy, Littlefinger, and possibly even Melisandre ending up on her team, plus she's still got medieval Mengele and rapist Frankenstein in her corner. I think she's definitely gone by the end of the series, but she'll take out a few sympathetic characters in the process. And I'm not sure the White…

Maybe the reason we all consider your opinions stupid isn't because we are hypocritical liberals dead set on persecuting you. Maybe it's because your opinions are fucking stupid.

That's a shame, you should have heard it earlier so you didn't become the person you are.
