No one is attached to Narnia? Millions of people imagined the excitement of stumbling through a wardrobe during a game of hide and seek to find a fantastical land. 

“because our binge brain is broken”

Stay classy, New AV Club. 

Okay, stop using the word fridging, because I don’t think you’re 100% sure what it means. It’s not just a blanket term for literally every time a female character dies. Black Widow made a willing sacrifice for the whole universe, fighting her longtime partner all the way over who would get to make it, which is…

“He did have something to do with turning Bryan into a child star, which is historically a corrupting factor.”

I’m right there with you.  She is the best.

Hadve a huge crush on Melanie Lynskey in that movie. That is all.

What a brave take about a situation you have absolutely zero insight into. 

Isn’t it supposed to be for Clancy Brown/Desmond?

LOST is often measured against the show’s ability to resolve mysteries but I am of the opinion that what the show did with the characters - and how those characters behaved in their increasingly bizarre circumstances - resolved in the finale & was actually really well done. I don’t think it’s the GOAT or anything, but…

I’m a Lost finale defender. I wouldn’t call it great, but it was very good. And I think that’s why there are so many detractors: a critical darling that doesn’t produce a top 10 finale gets roasted in perpetuity. So we didn’t get all the answers to all the questions about a show that was all about mysteries. Kind of…

Jesus Christ, we’re still pretending the LOST finale was bad, or ambiguous, or didn’t answer any question you could reasonably have? Get an opinion that isn’t a decade old meme, I’m begging you. One of the GOAT finales. Basically all the common criticisms betray a complete lack of understanding of what actually…

With the whiff of a filler set piece, this subplot had all of Richmond’s players remembering that the best way to spend a curfew-free night in Amsterdam is to not go see tulips, not eat Dutch food, not attend a private party, and definitely not bear witness to a sex show and instead to have a pillow fight(?).

Kids aren’t that dumb. When they see Ariel lean in to kiss, they understand the context of the lyrics just fine....but yet you treat them like they are complete morons. We don’t need to explain every little thing in a freaking movie. 

A disclaimer or forward addressing potentially objectionable language and content would be both a just and fair way to handle the issue. I wonder if that was even considered.

The writing on this site has been on a steady decline for years.  For some reason, they think snark is a replacement for good writing.

Maybe I’d be more likely to see this if Twofey didn’t join up with the rest of the anti-trans “just asking questions” brigade at the NYT... but she did, so fuck her.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a scene that has repeatedly thrilled me more with its sheer joy than when they first hear the song on the radio.

I don’t think the scene where the general pulls the plug on Gump’s speech where he talks about how much the war sucks while the protesters cheer is very conservative.

It sure was hard growing up as a/n [insert ethnic group here]. Not only did I feel like an outsider, but I had to deal with my strict, cheapskate father and my crazy extended family, not to mention my overbearing, judgmental mother who wouldn’t stop feeding me [characteristic food of said ethnic group] and making me…
