Sure, but it doesn't do much for their "brand" as a producer of original content to choose an Adam Sandler Comedy Western as one of the first films they put out.

He can't be wrong in stating a personal preference. He can be if the line's blurred and he ends up making an argument for why he's right to have that preference. It's a little frustrating to see so many people agreeing that low-budget indies, many of which are excellent movies that are going to be watched decades…

James Toback seems like a blowhard's blowhard but Downey went back for seconds so that probably wasn't it. I would guess he's talking about experiences post-sobriety, pre-Iron Man. Not much there that would fit except CB. It had a $12 million budget. That's a micro-indie now?

Directed by Jon Favreau, who lobbied hard to get him the part in Iron Man that's responsible for his current paydays. Owed him at least that.

Wrong in what? That they're not worth the effort? I don't think you can make a blanket statement about hundreds of separate productions per year (or make the same statement about big budget studio films). I will say he's wrong to rationalize it instead of saying "Because low budget indie movies don't pay me tens of…

"Channing Tatum is attached to star as physics-student-turned-soldier William Mandella .. "

This is the sort of entry that kind of makes me wish someone had a Reposted Wikipedia gimmick account (for the week it would take to get banned): " .. at least 27 different lawsuits were filed under various U.S. consumer fraud protection laws against Pilatus, Morvan and Arista Records. One such filing occurred on…

See? Layer after layer.

You, as an individual, are different. You are capable of power expressed outside of your choices as a consumer. You will support this idea by making the choice as a consumer to buy a ticket to my movie.

Have to experience constant dissonance at that event. You want to appreciate a bunch of marginalized people forming a real community and then you see something that makes you want to marginalize them. And repeat.

Well, that I can't explain at all.

Saw the picture Rabin posted yesterday of his son with them. For those who know: is his fandom "ironic" or does he write about them the way Klosterman does Kiss, arguing for a critical reevaluation?

You're talking about shows for adults. Those aren't the shows they're bringing back. They're bringing back TGIF-level shows for millennials whose memories of them were formed before their brains were developed enough to recognize them as garbage.

That's the dividing line in a thread like this: if you're not from the area you hate a place that doesn't exist or hasn't for decades (populated by Jim Crow era racists who sound like Jeff Foxworthy) or you hate the airport or the (mostly lame) tourist attractions. If you live here you probably hate the traffic and…

Answering for this show alone, probably because they're a DJ and a singer and many record labels are based here.

"YouTube" and "original content" isn't a promising-sounding combination. 95% of YouTube's original content is the worst content on YouTube. If this has all been a years-long backdoor to getting people to pay a subscription fee for having the live versions by the original artist show up as the top results so you don't…

Nine months, five hundred thousand man hours, six hundred million dollars, two hundred hours of televised hype, three hundred thousand pages of Internet message board debate, one C+ AV Club review, one C- AV Club review and in twenty years the only people watching them will be the ones looking for a reference point to…

" .. it looks like Leisure Suit Larry will have to sit this round out."

A helpful guide for ignoring the rest of a social media post: if it begins with "I'm not a racist, but .. ", if it contains the argument that given the right context ethnic or racial slurs are appropriate and could be applied to various races and ethnicities, once you see "animals" or "thugs," etc. People complain…

Replaced "boy" with "male" to better reflect Show Tommen's age and my intent. And so I don't get flagged.
