B-minus seems a startlingly high rating for a show that seems to combine the comedic acumen of Two and a Half Men, the piercing social insight of a Time Magazine thinkpiece, and a wholly undisguised, seething contempt for an entire generation of human beings.

"I don’t think there’s anything funny about this election."

I saw a few, which is pretty incredible considering it requires you to shave your head, which most people aren't willing to do for a Halloween costume.

I feel like this awful costume from this awful movie would probably not be able to singlehandedly dominate an entire gender's Halloween costumery if there were more cool, distinctive-looking female characters in popular media.

Space Jam is one of the most unfair beneficiaries of nostalgia glasses that I can think of. I loved that movie as a kid, but watching it now, it is… not good.

Wow, the Rocky series in November coming to Hulu is great news! I am of the opinion that Rocky is the unofficial Great Thanksgiving Movie. Aside from being set around Thanksgiving and featuring a memorable Thanksgiving scene, what is Rocky about if not for the spirit of thankfulness?

I love both Nightmare on Elm Street AND binge-drinking, so I guess it's only a matter of time before someone gifts me those godawful tacky garbage shot glasses!

There are no wrong options here. Keanu at 99 cents is a great deal, and Hellraiser II is an absolute gem.

This is a legitimately terrible game. Not because it's "offensive," but because it's boring. With Apples to Apples, a truly creative and funny group of people can find ways to make genuinely clever, transgressive jokes. Because Cards Against Humanity makes the "jokes" for you, the only real purpose this game has is

Notwithstanding the VALUE of diversity of in media, which I am not going to get into right now, I feel like it is logical to presume that functionally identical input should not produce wildly different outputs. Thus, the output (consistent, wildly disproportionate representation of white actors in media compared to

Black actors are so under-served in Hollywood that ONE high-profile black-centric blockbuster can assemble seemingly EVERY great black actor in Hollywood.

I'm not convinced that Lovecraft is actually resonating with people more now in any meaningful way. The main source of Lovecraft's "popularity" right now seems to be extremely superficial Cthulu-as-badass-tentacle-monster meme sort of stuff. The heightened exposure from that means that some people really getting into

I'm not interested in discussing equivalency, but I don't feel like "raping an adult woman" and "sexually abusing a child" are in such different ballparks that they merit radically different treatment in the media.

This.

I like this take A LOT. I feel like it's such a good fit for The Lost Boys as a franchise I kind of wish I came up with it myself. It feels like such a smart, natural way to build on what the original movie does. It feels totally in the spirit of the film, while also allowing for way greater depth of characterization

I'm gonna throw down for Hunchback of Notre Dame, which I sincerely believe would, minus three gargoyles, be the best narrative feature yet produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.

I clicked on this article for one reason and one reason only: to Command+F "serious man" and make sure it wasn't snubbed AGAIN.

Well why the hell not!

I like this list quite a bit, and on principle, I think quibbling with online listicles (let alone taking differences of opinion as personal moral affronts) is a colossally wrongheaded waste of time and emotional energy.

Wait, is Spidey about to skateboard a spiral through that concrete pipe, A Goofy Movie-style?
