I have a Navy-issue trenchcoat that seriously can hold more than six cans of beer. But you have to work at muffling the sound of the beer can opening, cause I don't care if you're watching a Transformers movie, opening a beer can is loud as hell!

I think it's ridiculous that the victims tried to sue Cinemark. How exactly is a chain of movie theaters supposed to have "sufficient" measures to prevent sociopaths from killing people? They can't even stop me from sneaking candy and a six-pack of beer in.

Good question. I stopped going to Uproxx because of their autoplay videos. I've deleted other bookmarks because the ads are too much, and I've never regretted it. But the quality of the writing on A.V. Club is enough to keep me coming back.

Daily articles highlighting Amazon sales items, commercials on autoplay, and a host of other advertising banners and backgrounds and such. At what point exactly does A.V. Club stop being an intriguing website and become an extended Adam Sandler movie/vacation?

OK, if you're going to go there, LOL, I just watched "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation". There are certain scenes that are implausible at best, but you don't mind because you're caught up in the rush of it. But when Tom Cruise jumped on a motorcycle to chase Ilsa and her pursuers, all of who were driving as fast as

One should never do any research before making a snarky comment. I was going to make fun of Colleen Houck's recommendation, because who?, and then I looked her up and she's lived in North Carolina and Oregon and has a collection of plush tigers and how do you make fun of someone like that when I've lived in North

Honestly, I don't think Red Red Wine is horrible, but I wouldn't care if I never heard it again. I would, however, miss We Built This City.

I agree. I barely remember 6, but I do know I wasn't analyzing cartoon characters and pondering their behind-the-scenes behavior. This felt really clunky and far removed from reality, like it was trying to make a point, but I'll be damned if I know what that point is. I didn't think it was possible to get worse than

I didn't realize it until a few minutes ago, but several small mushrooms were growing in one of my houseplants' soil, so I just spent the last couple of minutes pulling each mushroom carefully out by the stem with a pair of tweezers, so as to get the roots too, then throwing the remains in my trash can, one at a time.

You've got to be cruller to be kind (in the right measure, of course).

I read this book a year or so ago called "Station Eleven", and it was one of the best books I've ever read. It was one of those end-of-the-world most-people-die-from-a-plague novels, but what shone through every word was how our lives are intertwined and how our lives change the lives of those around us, even when (or

Jeremiah was a disappointment for me. I always assumed they screwed him over on that one. I have most of his comic book work (except for Spider-man - I think anyone who's even a casual fan of the character would agree that he started out strong and then just went horribly wrong, LOL), and I love it. But I still mourn

I could not agree with you more. In all honesty, I went to see Matrix because Keanu Reeves is so beautiful; I had no idea what the movie was really about. When I saw it, I was blown away. Sense8 took those ideas and that view of what is possible and multiplied it; the scene set at the opera still haunts me. It was so

I did not know that. I'm glad he's devoted to the show. I love his writing, but he has a tendency to leave projects (at least the comic books - his Supreme Power was amazing, and then it all kind of just disappeared), so I'm glad he's continuing with Sense8.

LOL, I actually thought about that, then thought, man, wouldn't it be cool if they could do both? I would love to see someone take Lost in Space in a direction that explores all that the premise allows.

Get the Wachowski sisters to direct it. "Sense8" started out kind of slow and rambling, but it turned out to be amazing, easily one of my favorite shows. I'd love to see what they'd do with "Lost in Space".

I like that.

Thanks for Googling it. If you ever do decide to read the comic books, you'll find that while Kirkman isn't the best writer in the world, he does know how to tell a good story and create likable characters. The TV show doesn't seem to get that. The guy playing Glenn is - I believe - a good actor. He just gets pretty

I will be honest with you. I don't know why I enjoy the television show so much. It's really badly written. And I'm currently on TPB 9 of Invincible and thinking, man, Kirkman is a horrible writer and yet I still want to keep reading his books, LOL.

I think you aren't bothered as much by his words as I am, but I also think I wouldn't be as bothered by someone else's words as you might be. We all have triggers, right or wrong, and what he wrote hit one of my triggers. I hate to admit it, since it makes me look extremely small, but one of the things that pissed me
