Ol’ Herbie Spanfeller sure has killed the community on this site but good.
Katie Rife deserves as warm and as voluble a send off as AA Dowd got in his Iron Man 3 retrospective. Rife has a wonderful appreciation for the psychotronic side of movies, the weird, the bad and the cult-y. This isn’t a perspective you see a lot in film criticism, but it is an invaluable one, which celebrates unloved…
I’ve probably thrown more than my share of our patented rapid-fire anti-wit at you over the years, Mr Dowd, but it didn’t take long before your reviews became one of the features I most looked forward to on the AV Club. And not just to crack yet another C+ joke, but more and more because the quality of your film…
In his review of The World’s End, which he gave a A-, Dowd offered a parenthetical aside that is plays like a farcical answer to Trier’s “Oslo, August 31st”. Though not nearly on par with the uproar over the Iron Man 3 grade this was taken by the commentariat as an occasion for some judicious ribbing, as we were…
Be that as it may, if you happen to mention that The Batman’s sound design is “louder than bombs” or some such we will be putting out a ragtag search party.
Sigh, time to face the muzjik.
I definitely joined in in the hazing. If I recall, I made the quip about him using up all the A’s in his byline. At last, I feel seen! If I’d known that feeling was coming, I would have taken a shower first.
Alex, for some reason I can’t help but imagine you dutifully typing this out while a band of Mouseketeers in leering Kevin Feige masks hold you at gunpoint. Is everything ok? Slip a tangential shout out to Joachim Trier in your next review to signal if you need help.
Gobbets of meat…? Falling from the sky?
Finally, the Birdemic reboot we hoped and prayed for.
Now, now. Obviously Kenan, like all of us, owes Steve Harvey a couple of swift kicks in the nuts.
“You wouldn’t believe all the diseases bats have.”
No doubt the DC brass are keen to avoid another mustache incident.
I am happy to accept Superman’s poop fetish as canon. I mean, he has sex with humans, who are a different species. Of COURSE he’s into some freaky shit. If Martha knew only the half of it, she would be so ashamed…
It seems that the Batmobile had lost a wheel, and he called AAA.
I would say that most of these songs, though perhaps not great pieces of music, actually fit their respective shows fairly well. Enterprise is a clear exception. I hope someone was fired for that blunder.
Random content generating AIs don’t have unions or allergies to herbs.
I loathe the theme song from iZombie, especially when paired with the comic book-style title sequence.
