Misogyny sufficiently exaggerated is indistinguishable from satire.

Of course they did. The Riefenstahl stuff and the destruction of the Hosnian system was one part of the movie I DIDN'T like, because it was over-the-top and insufficiently grounded by the narrative, but it was full of fascist imagery, so…of course they loved it.

And sort of on Black Mirror too.

Pasty?

I actually read the bloody thing, and the one part of the movie this dipnozzle liked was the Nazi stuff. "Let’s make no mistake: Abrams is a capable filmmaker, when he wants to be. Parts with General Hux, especially his speech and the destruction of the Hosnian system, are glorious."

Dammit, Darth Nasty was going to be the name for my prog rock band!

I’m confused, or you are. Drew Goddard didn’t write the book, just the film. The film wasn’t like that at all.

Username checks out.

Grey Album counts but SILY is actual real alt-dance made with samples. Mashups have always been just this side of terrible.

SALT FUEL CAN'T MELT ICE BEAMS

Great Job, Internet! is the A.V. Club's attempt at adapting the concept of a hatewatchable TV show to web feature format.

Cock Many Twos

Yeah. 4/10 for concept, -999999/10 for execution.

I can picture you burning down a local ice rink with your protest sign aloft: "PARODY SHOULDN'T BE TOPICAL!"

And I'm tired of you, herpes. *sniff.*

To be totally fair, would you not make international trailers if you were Disney? That's kind of mandatory, especially having a distinct marketing plan for China, given the economic reality of blockbuster filmmaking now.

My pet theory is that Higgins' and Banks' microphones are never actually on in-universe. They're talking to themselves. (Made literal in the sequel when they're supposed to be doing a podcast. FOR WHOM?)

Ha, fair enough! I didn't give a crap at the time. The meta-mystery was part of the fun. After all, they were lying through their teeth just to get ABC to pick the show up in the first place.

That's kind of the nature of TV, though. I never thought I'd be defending Lost, but Jesus, attempting but failing to satisfyingly pay off a mystery arc over 100+ hours is a noble failure. Twin Peaks failed to sustain its mystery over fewer than 15 hours.

Fair enough!
