For the moment, I’m going to assume you’re not deliberately concern trolling. But regardless, you’re misconstruing what “believe women” actually means. “Believe Women” is not a blanket statement. It’s a shorthand that we use because the more accurate statement “afford a woman reporting an assault the same benefit of…

Perhaps it says more about my life than it should, but a sarcastic “Oh no! The orphans!” gets a surprisingly heavy rotation in my vernacular.

For my friend and I, it was “. . . and Nicholas Cage, as Fu Manchu” that put the film over the top. I think it narrowly edges out even Spiderman Noir for the best possible use of The Full Cage.

Can confirm. I saw the entire Planet Terror + Trailers + Death Proof combo in the theater, and to this day, I would still call it the absolute best theatergoing experience I’ve ever had. Better even than The Avengers.

Until the day the real hunters come for you . . .

On reflection, the closest I can come to a critique of the film, which isn’t really a criticism, is that Buffalo Bill is less a character than a grab-bag of traits designed from the outside-in to fit the evidence that leads to his discovery and downfall. A lot of this reflects the nature of the script: Buffalo Bill is…

And a not-insignificant portion of the country now believes that basically saying “nu-uh” to rules, laws, codes of conduct, norms, etc., is just fine and dandy.

While Meyers is often compared to Nora Ephron—the other major female auteur of the rom-com genre—I think a more apt comparison is Richard Curtis, the creative force behind movies like Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings And A Funeral.

Biden’s campaign needs to get on the horn with Jack Handey immediately to discuss the possibility of labeling their attack ads: “Deep Thoughts, by Donald Trump”.

Well, it was not necessarily a bad idea in theory, because they’re counting on the upside of, in Steve Bannon’s words, flooding the zone with shit. By issuing 20 separate lies every day, it makes it harder to isolate and target any one lie. If you ask some random man on the street for receipts, he’ll be unlikely to…

Yeah, this is a classic example of how misogyny hurts men just as much as it does women. The only thing that Lautner was doing wrong was failing to conform to an established masculine archetype. If he was one of those perfect guys who happen to be gay, that’s a slur and a stereotype, but it’s also a box that we…

The biggest thing to note about Biden, and perhaps the biggest upside to having him leading the ticket (beyond his ability to mollify nervous old white people who are concerned about the communism, anyway) is that he doesn’t appear to have any fixed beliefs. He has a record of supporting the banks and businesses, but…

Series plot synopsis:

It’s really simple when you think about it; in fact, Trump uses “cheating” to call out anything that he believes goes against him. Trump’s brain functioning isn’t more advanced than an 8-year-old, and basically, if you beat an 8-year-old in Connect Four, there is a good chance that you are going to be accused of…

Even better, it hits a bully where he lives. Trump is not a particularly bright guy, but like any bully, he’s got a very high social IQ. And he always keeps his insults simple, and visceral. You can either go high by not playing at his level, or your go low well. We’re playing by Peter Pan rules:

I still wonder why nobody ever used the phrase “President Chump”. I mean, it’s right there . . .

He does appear to be the Barenaked Ladies of The A.V. Club. . .

I would have gone with “The film that single-handedly justifies OSHA”, or as it was known in 1981, Roar!:
