I think this is more like the Great Hill Partners version of Alan Smithee, where nobody wants to the blame with a byline. They’ve disabled the comments on the AV Club Bot stories (and removed them from the search index, I think)

Still do not care about this kind of story. Can’t you get the AI to write them?

And you can’t sign a contract without... writing your name. Checkmate, Hollywood!

Secret Invasion was awful in the comics for much the same reasons.

As somebody who read the original Secret Invasion comics, I can state unequivocally that I was not excited to see it adapted for the small screen, because it is a total mess of an ungainly Marvel crossover event that is somehow even more terrible than this misbegotten TV series was. I urge everyone not to read it. The…

Ghost might have been there off-camera, but that wouldn’t have made his powers, which come from the super-suit he built, any more accessible via his DNA.

Don’t forget Page Six and the Daily fucking Mail!

Seriously, what the fuck with this bullshit every goddamn day on here. I don’t give two shits about some famous rando getting divorced or busted for weed. I come here because the site used to have insightful analysis of TV and movies (even music and comics and games now and then) and I keep hoping against hope that a c…

I actually think an adaptation based on Reza Aslan’s book Zealot: the Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth would be super interesting (and that book is also really interesting, even to someone like me, who is destined to burn forever in the lake of fire).

In a funny coincidence, the book is similarly overrated, containing a few interesting ideas and character beats but drowning them in a lot of sappy sentiment and purple prose.

Inexplicably, comprehensive coverage of the Real Housewives franchise

He accidentally inhaled the sprain through his nose, is my guess.

This is even more hilarious than the other four times you posted it

100%. I liked your writing! Good luck on your next thing!

Yeah, color me cautiously optimistic for Dunc and Egg as well. They seem like easy novellas to adapt.

Meh, it could mean “to feel as a sadist does.”

Seriously. You fucked up and pissed a lot of people off. Now is the time to stop digging, not fight a rear-guard action.
