For all the garbage clickbait that floods the AV Club, I want to express appreciation for articles like this that are based on actual journalistic effort, and relay insights from a properly good movie critic. It’s frankly tragic that something like this counts for just as many “clicks” (if not fewer), then some…

I’m sorry, you want me to buy Kathryn Hahn and Paul Giamatti as a couple? No offence to Paul Giametti, he’s a great actor, but Kathryn Hahn is a smoke show, and Giametti looks like the Ghost of Christmas Future. Actually, that’s definitely offensive to Giametti, but I’ll just assume he isn’t reading.

Soooooo....... did they get arrested? Is Sundance moving away from film?

I don’t think the ADA covers emotional support animals.

Fuck Amazon.

Oh good, now these videos start automatically. Just press the Pause button and read this instead.

Best Director is the shammiest of The Oscars; Costner and Eastwood won it, while Kubrick, Hitchcock, Welles, Kurosawa, Lynch, Cronenberg, Gilliam, S. Lee, PT Anderson, Goddard, and a ton of other amazing talents never won it.

I got to play a copy of Illimat at Pax South. Aside from the Twee Aesthetic, and the references to Hazards of Love, it didn’t feel nearly Decemberists-y enough for me.

I’ve never not-loved a Decemberist album after a few listens, so I’m sure I’ll come around to it, but this also doesn’t sound Decemberists-y enough for…

Really? I was a big fan of Make You Better (even if it’s just a musical retread of The Crane Wife Part 3), Philomena, and Anti-Summersong. The last of those seemed to imply that the band was mostly done, so I’m surprised about this news.

I had an inkling a new album was on the horizon just the other day, so I’m happy to see I was right. Not immediately sold on this first single, but Hazards of Love was the only complete misfire for me, so I’m optimistic that I’ll enjoy this album. As much as I’m glad they are trying to keep things fresh, The…

Having some roots in Montana, the Decemberists usually bring a great show when they come through our region, and the subtle changes they make to their music are usually appreciated live.

Awesome! One second in, and my eyes went wide. Can’t wait for the whole album. When The King is Dead first came out, I complained greatly to my friends how different it was than before (Hazards of Love was still baroque enough that it felt like a natural progression from their earlier works) and that it didn’t feel…

Barry Jenkins adapting James Baldwin!? Holy shit, how have I heard nothing about this until now? Well, now I’m excited.

I cannot muster any enthusiasm for this movie. The “Be a Warrior” tagline seems so trite, the costumes look way over the top, and every time I hear Reese Witherspoon speak in the trailers, it sounds like she’s reading a schoolbook to kindergarteners.

I feel like Ex Machina totally stuck the landing. That’s the grim, logical ending to where that conflict was going. I should be more excited about Halloween but I’m still a little bummed that Halloween 2 is getting written out of continuity (I actually like that movie).

I love AWIN, but that trailer looks like overblown, pyrotechnic garbage.

Anyway, maybe let’s not brandish Alec Baldwin a drooling rapist sympathizer quite yet

It’s going to flop spectacularly.

Calling it right now: turns out the Little Stranger was Bashu all along.
