I think hypocrisy can certainly be a valid criticism against someone's claim to have good character, if you think being a hypocrite is bad. And that CAN be a totally valid thing to bring up, just not nearly as much as people want to.

Also they're not fucking zombies; they're ghouls.

Proposed: Land of the Dead is flawed but mega-underrated. The satire is spot-on, hilarious, and trenchant. But the actual zombie attacks are kinda dull.

Why is "unreasonable optimism" the character of the avclub's wrestling overage? Do people really think Samoa Joe became some big star with more title shots in his future and wasn't just there to kill time until Roman?
