The Russian government complaining about being targeted by cyberattacks. Rarely in history has a “go fuck yourself” been so richly warranted.

I got a great William Hurt story.

It was about a decade ago. I was working my crappy art supply retail job in Portland. William Hurt walks in, and I don’t believe it’s really him.

Woman I’m ringing up points to him and says, “That’s William Hurt!” I turn around to look, and think, “Nah. Why would William Hurt be here?”

Sh…

“Memorable film actor?” Seriously? In addition to being a steaming hot physical presence, he showed the kind of commitment and nuance in his work one rarely sees now. Another ‘small’ film - Altered States (folks might have heard of it) was daring for a 1980s film and it has held up over time.

As someone with Indian heritage, I am so thrilled that this viewpoint is published here. I fully heart this and agree.

I love how it took Kanye losing his shit even more than usual for you guys to talk about Pete Davidson as if he’s at least semi-human

Congratulations GMG UNION! Way to go!

What we won:

Farewell Dowd. You and basically everyone working at this site were so much better than J/O Media deserved.

Dowd, I’m glad the last movie you reviewed for this site was a halfway decent one. I’ll miss your good work around here.

I don’t understand the point being made here. Unless I’m missing something, this comes off as a self-own by Jez. Friedman’s piece may not be the most insightful op-ed about the war in Ukraine, but (unlike the critique published here) it is cogent and fairly well argued.

If you have a critique of Friedman’s piece,…

“They’re not sending their best”

Hey folks. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here for all the kind words, and also for reading what I’ve written at The A.V. Club these past nine years. I know I wasn’t always the most consistent presence in the comments, even before the Kinja transition, but I dipped in fairly regularly, and for…

Meanwhile, the rest of us in normal income society, with mental health issues, brain trauma, and or complicated grieving issues are expected to act like adults, and face consequences for our actions.

When I think of great places to build a tunnel for cars, Miami is first on my list because it’s located at sea level, is close to the ocean and vulnerable to increasingly more frequent hurricanes, and has an excellent record of successful underground infrastructure. 

That has to be WARM sitting 2 feet from that glowing metal.

Really? What a bunch of absolute snowflakes. This is the hill they want to die on? Getting vaccinated.

I’ve never listened to Joe Rogan, and frankly, I never will.

I think a dedication in the opening credits would be fitting.

Oh yeah I’m not saying the other actors were weaker than her, or weak at all, just that I thought she was the heart and soul of the movie, so it’s weird to think of a sequel without. Will the sequel just have another ‘beacon of morality and kindness’ because I can’t really imagine the movie just centering on Blanc

Will there be sexy, sexy saxophones on the soundtrack? You can’t do erotic thrillers without one
