And here “Peterloo” had me all geared up for one of those movies-about-movies in which Peter Dinklage prepares to play Napoleon but has to contend with the usual Hollywood hijinx.

Oh, more phony Hollywood bullshit. He doesn’t even look like he’s in his mid 90's!!

This better be about the rise of Ragtime music during the mid 1890's, or I’m gonna be mighty peeved indeed.

Mmhmm

Yep.

“It was a Three Stooges short, “Sappy Pappy.” I played Mr. Sugarman’s secretary, remember? The boys played three sailors who find a baby, the baby’s been kidnapped and the police think that they did it. But, but of course they didn’t do it, the police had made an awful mistake. Moe hits Curly with an axe, the Stooges…

Vale, Mrs Dubcek. The reveal in the finale that she’d been having a long standing sexual relationship with Harry was the best part of that episode.

The second one had a few things I wasn’t so keen on but its opening sequence is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years. It’s very, very funny.

Hot take: I enjoyed the first Super Troopers and haven’t seen the second one.

Looking forward to Minding the Gap, my hometown (for better and worse) is heavily featured, curious to see how it is portrayed. 

I’m on the fence when it comes to The Last Jedi. Part of me enjoys the unexpected arc and some very, very impressive set pieces (the Holdo Maneuver, the Praetorian Guard showdown, Luke vs Kylo) but these moments really suffer when any semblance of critical examination is brought to bear.

Having said that, I truly…

Oh man. Yes!

Hot take: Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film. This is one of the reasons why.

I, Justin Vernon, am willing to chip in $00000 Million.

No matter what happens, never leave us Cookie Monster! We weathered the loss of Dikachu, but please, never you Cookie Monster!

I read the site for years before I somehow stumbled into the comments section (in general keeping with my “don’t read the comments” policy). The “golden age” of anything is always when you discover it—in my case, it was O’Neal Newswires and Rabin Flops and VanDerWerff TV reviews/digressions—but eventually I realized…

Hey, if those nerdbros could raise $200 million to remake Star War they not have rights to, surely we can get enough money together to buy AV Club.

I wouldn’t buy you because you keep me grey even though I’ve been commenting for a decade

I’ve been hanging around this site for years. Was that the BEST use of my time? Dunno. But it provided an outlet for snarky jokes and pointed me towards some truly amazing shows and movies I never would have watched otherwise, helping me to steer clear of others that weren’t worthy. Like many other long-timers, I was…

drinking an IPA wearing an old Sebadoh anymore.
