Yeah, you’re wrong. But you seem comfortable being wrong, like sliding on an old pair of shoes.

I’m sorry but have Last of Us fans and critics never, ever, ever seen another narrative TV show in their entire life? Is everyone in junior high?

I have to say I’m not the major fan of the flashbacks. Sometimes they’re helpful, but sometimes they are just taking us away from the current narrative, sapping the flow, and showing us a lot of stuff we couldn’t be told quicker, shown in the here and now, or inferred through other means. There’s also a whole host of…

You misspelled Puddy and the Tick.

Yeah, that’s right

I understand why these IP owners want to keep these books on cultural life support by hiding (some) of the authors’ sins ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$) but it feels anti-historical to do so. The books of both of these men were written for specific people and implicitly not for others. Let today’s kids and other readers find other,…

I’m not saying that all? Changing Flemming’s books to make them less racist isn’t like pulling down confederate statutes, it’s like changing history to claim that the Civil War was about “states rights” instead of slavery.

Eh, I’m in the slap on a foreword/disclaimer but leave the text largely as-is* camp on this one. Fleming was a racist, misogynist, imperialist dinosaur and so was his creation. Not much use in pretending otherwise.

I have to say that I am conflicted by changing any author’s book(s) to be more modern in terms of the treatment of other races, ethnicities, nationalities and gender. It’s certainly not that I want to see Black people described with the N-word or worse, and other groups of people wrongly disparaged. But I feel that…

These are just people who own a property trying to make more money with that property by sprucing it up to attract younger buyers.

“Whenever Mr. Potato Head’s not on screen, Buzz should be asking, ‘Hey, where’s Mr. Potato Head?’”

It’s intentional. They’re going to beat this dead horse over and over because people engage with it. I mean, at this point it’s patently clear the “boycott” from a handful of loud online personalities didn’t affect sales by any discernable measure (it’s sold very well and it’s popular on Twitch and Steam), and in some…

The SP joke that Canadians have this oddball society and they  fart and queef all the time has always been stupid yet it makes me laugh every single time

No thanks, if seeing a movie means homework I’ll just skip it

Where’s the mention of her poster in The Shawshank Redemption? Tragically, I suppose, that’s where most people these days know her from.

It doesn’t. Station 11 bothered me. Great production, great performances, but jesus fucking christ, the self-consciously “literary” only the twee survive snobbery of it all.

Loving this show, but if they run into a traveling theater troupe around Chicago I’m out. Yeah, I’m still pissed about Station 11.

I think AV Club loves hearing that a beloved icon might not be a great person; it’s easy content and they don’t have to, like, think about movies

Barbarian was a steaming pile of shit. I honestly have no idea how anyone could find anything remotely valuable in that film, let alone how it seems to be on so many “best of” lists. 

It's most certainly going to blow.
