I suppose there’s an argument to be made, but the trend towards video in general just doesn’t do it for me.  Maybe I got spoiled during the small slice of time when a lot of good writers could make a reasonable living by writing on the internet, but the number of people who can still do so is only getting smaller by…

Nice to see that this randomly double-posted.

I’m a LONG time AVC reader. Stuck around through the move to Disqus. Stuck around through the Leonard Pierce saga. Stuck around through the mass departure to the Dissolve. Stuck around through the Kinjapocalypse. If there’s anything that will drive me to abandon the site, a move to predominantly video over…

No disrespect to the work that Baraka and Marah put in here, but - the concept of the pivot to video needs to die. And not just at the A.V. Club.  Random Roles via video clip = butt.

Somewhere, a Disney exec sat weeping, having tasted more of life than he was capable of handling. Sure, it SEEMED like hunting a man for sport would be the ultimate fulfillment of what it meant to be a God amongst mere mortals, but after the deed was done, he felt only regret and shame. “Oh how I wish I could…

My wife and I left after a decade in Brooklyn a couple of years back - oddly enough to move to Colorado (although not Boulder). For us, it was about wanting to get into a house instead of an apartment, and not wanting to either scrimp and save every penny for years to get a decent downpayment saved up, or move to the…

I’ve said this before on the AVC, but - my problem with the offing of Hicks and Newt wasn’t about offing them in and of itself. My problem with it is that it makes Ripley into kind of an idiot, and Ripley is not in any way shape or form an idiot. What, Ripley wouldn’t have checked the landing ship and the Sulaco for…

My thoughts exactly.  I wonder what the plan will be with regard to casting her brother.  I hope they don’t just excise it completely; it’s such a huge part of the story.

I don’t care what anyone says, that band is still a good time.  When I saw them play, they had a full bar on stage, and a bartender serving them drinks throughout the show.

I have a feeling that his involvement with this will be fairly hands off.  On his Twitter feed, he’s been quite vocal that now that Good Omens is more or less put to bed, he’s a “retired show runner” who just wants to get back to writing novels/comics/short stories.

Thanks for the heads up!

YES!  Thank you!  His last several posts were straight gold.

It’s such a shame that the Kinjapocalypse drove so many people away.  I totally get it, but - it’s a shame.  Some of the gimmick commenters were as much fun as the articles themselves.

I starred this, but - it was a sad star?

Old school gimmick commenters I miss: Cookie Monster, EVL, the weird old-timey dude whose handle I’m momentarily forgetting who brought up his peggo and fundament at all opportunities and whose last several posts turned into a long running Lovecraftian horror story, the Taco Bell bell, Reposted Avenged Sevenfold…

Where’s the Taco Bell bell account when you need it/him/her?

Probably a good call.

I heard he developed a debilitating cocaine addition and ended up out of the business.  There’s some sort of metaphor to be used to describe the situation in an apt manner, but I can't quite remember what it is...

OK so Lane as Yorick’s mom, Tamblyn as Hero, Lynch as 355.  Any speculation on the rest?
