It really bugs me that Barbara is model hot and the Gordons live in a penthouse. Isn't he a rookie cop? Is Barbara rich? And why is Jim Gordon so terrible at his job? I don't mean his expected rookie mistakes, but what kind of cop puts the burden of doing his job correctly on a grieving little kid?
I thought this was

No, you're thinking of a Simpson's episode. And it wasn't an episode, it was a movie.

Wow, I was literally just having the conversation about how The Wire and Game of Thrones are the same show - different factions in a brutal socially stratified society comprising a huge cast of characters with different goals, competing for power and colliding with each other in ways that ripple outward to have major

God help me, but I'm with @avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus. Louis CK calls his daughters cunts all the time and it's hilarious and everyone still loves him. Well maybe not all the time, but certainly in one of his comedy specials where he goes off on his kids. Chewed Up maybe. And that was a while ago.

Oh for fucks sake. Am I the only person who thought Argo was not a good movie? I find all these awards it's accumulating utterly baffling. It's easily the most mediocre film in the whole lot of academy award nominated movies. A disingenuous script, a climax utterly ruined by horrible editing and cliched plot

huh…I thought Californication came and went like 3 years ago. Had no idea that was still a thing. I guess it makes sense that Showtime would have shows besides Homeland and Dexter.

I hated Argo. I found the hollywoodization of the true events disingenuous and distracting, particularly in the end, and the whole thing reeked of smug self-satisfaction. Affleck is also kindof terrible in it. 
I did think the opening of the film was pretty good though.

I get why Erik Adams didn't like the last scene, and the stuff with the crew interfering rang a little false to me too. But at least it was something completely fresh and unexpected from a show that is all too comfortable replaying the same plot beats over and over (Erin and Pete), so for that it gets a pass for me.

Dredd Wrong.

I just got my roommate a newish board game called Last Night on Earth for Xmas, which pits zombies against humans in different scenarios and it's been a rousing success among our friends. I'm not really a game person, though I've ended up playing my fair share of them because my roommate has just about all of them;

Final Destination 2 might honestly be one of the best horror movies of the last decade. It has some of the most disturbing deaths in the series but it's also funny, surprising and thoroughly entertaining. Really fun to watch with a group of people. Sad news.

"Tarantino’s smudgy, excitable fingerprints are all over every frame of Django Unchained, but ironically, he breaks the film’s hypnotic spell by making an ill-advised return to acting in a supporting role that further burdens him with a difficult accent. Tarantino should feel flattered and a little insulted that

Even with the general meh consensus, the critics are being too generous with this one. Setting aside the whole 48fps thing (and it is indeed a catastrophe of Lucasian proportions - I could see Ian McKellan's contact lenses for fucks sake!) that movie was a narrative mess and even worse, a bore, just completely

So after the dwarves show up in Hobbiton at the beginning, Bilbo complains to Gandalf about how they destroyed his plumbing. Do hobbits really have plumbing? Do the men in Middle Earth have plumbing?
