If that's how you want to write me off, that's fine; but the privacy setting is for personal reasons. I'd like to think that if you've seen my comments anywhere else around AVC, it would be apparent that I'm just one more dude who likes to amiably babble about pop culture. (Thus I'm particularly sorry to get a vote of…

I'm genuinely, sincerely* sorry you feel that way, Flubba.

Because he has a history of making shitty, tone-deaf remarks and creative decisions when it comes to female characters and actors of color, and yet continues to coast on undeserved cred as a great progressive voice in Hollywood. It's fine if you don't agree with this instance, but I see it as part of a pattern of…

Another hit from the Whedon Classics Vault. Whenever his dumb jokes fall flat, blame the Oscar-winning woman of color. Then get ready to retweet the acceptance speech for his next Best Feminist Ever award.

Modern Simpsons is the result of a show's fans growing up and writing for it themselves.

It was definitely a more saccharine, embellished style, and it totally took me out of the show. It seemed to affect a style of pseudo-Disney movies, like the crap that Don Bluth was slopping out in the mid-90s.

Your friend Jason Billings is full of beans, I says!

They did it just to personally offend you, AZsheeplady, and your refined sensibilities.

It's true. Miley Cyrus is a walking Dad Joke. Biologists confirmed it. It's like a miracle of science, or something.

Vape-bars are also completely a thing.

E-cigs are absolutely a thing. They're goddamn everywhere. There are at least two vape-bars within a one-block radius of my office. Any time I leave the building, there's at least one knucklehead by the doors, pursing his lips around a fat plastic warp-whistle and tooting a cloud of stale strawberry pop-tart steam.

I'm pretty sure the "National Anthem" episode itself wasn't putting that artist on a pedestal. He's not a stand-in for Charlie Brooker.

I remember hearing "Boyd's Journey" in a car safety/booster seat PSA. The ad used a baby-sized dummy, rather than a real child, to illustrate its point. It was all in slow-motion, with that piece's eerily repetitive plunking throughout.

Christ, I love Ravenous. It's been a Halloween-season staple for me for at least a decade. It's beautifully shot, atmospheric, kind of bonkers, and has an amazing score. I don't get people who don't get this movie.

Fuck merely being "standard issue," his Milk performance was just a more lucid version of how he played I Am Sam. And I have a hard time ever really buying him truly being progressive toward LGBT issues when he seems more like the type to hold weekly Skype chats with Alec Baldwin, exchanging bawdy gay jokes and…

Bad Sicario: Port of Call San Diego

Sicario 2: Havana Nights

It's Father John Misty. He's getting one over on all of us.

You underestimate Lou's ability to find petty, shrill fault with anything.

Sounds like a lyric from a more anticlimactic version of "Allentown."
