Yes, exactly - the AV Club is one of the few websites I’d willingly subscribe to (if such a thing were available), so why it’s never seriously been considered as a possibility is beyond me.

Yeah - I’m here to read articles, and so I refuse to watch these videos as a matter of principle (and I guess most A.V. Club commenters feel the same way, judging by the number of comments that videos generally get) - but they keep pumping out the damn things anyway, so I guess videos must score well in terms of user

Seems they still haven’t announced a Season 4 release date, but otherwise everything is progressing as expected, according to Den of Geek.

Make sure you mark January 1, 2023 on your 2006 calendar, because that’s the first year that everything cycles back. (Failing that, you’ll have to wait until 2034 for 2006 to come around again.)

Ha, I do this too - I’ve always assumed that it’s because my brain’s making some vague association with his Office (UK) co-star, Lucy Davis.

No, I’m pretty sure the real monster was the friends we made along the way.

Yeah, me too. Though the whole thing will probably collapse before then, anyway, given how uninterested GMG seems to be in doing anything sensible with the A.V. Club (or any of its other holdings).

Yes, exactly. I have zero interest in watching video interviews - I’d happily read a transcript if one was provided, but I guess that pulls in fewer advertiser dollars or something.

I’d say it’s a translation choice: they’re definitely saying “Wudang” (going by the Chinese subtitles, where it’s “ 武當”, i.e. Wudang). But they’re very consistent about spelling it as “Wudan” throughout the movie, even in English-subtitled versions where the subtitles are otherwise very good, so I’d say it was deliber

Probably - it sounds like she’s saying “Emei” to me; and some subtitles actually have it as that (more or less): [EDITED to add: I can’t get the damn picture to load, but it’s basically a screengrab of a subtitle that has her saying “Today I fly over Eh-Mei Mountain.”]

I know these articles are churned out at a great rate, but would it really have been that difficult to find out what the editor himself had in mind with his editing choices, such as they are? From the Washington Post:

Goose ends up playing an unexpectedly noteworthy role in the Fury backstory.

History will prove me right.

He’s basically the office supplies equivalent of that guy at Decca Records in 1962 who turned down the Beatles.

I don’t know - Some of Warhol’s early work featured actual dead people (e.g. artworks where he reworked actual news photographs of fatal car accidents, where the photos often included corpses), so I like to think he might well appreciate the irony of his image being exploited after death in a not-dissimilar (and certai

Yes, exactly (I’m Australian, but our chips are more or less the same as the British variety). French fries are kind of like the rough draft of the idea of chopped-up-potatoes-deep-fried-in-oil; chips are the finished, fully realised version.

I see. I really must catch up with that movie sometime...

Not at all. There’s nothing like plum-colored silk to make blue eyes pop.

This is merely a reflection of the real-world connection between naval warfare and French haute couture. Admiral “Bull” Halsey, for instance, is known to have spent most of the Battle of Leyte Gulf (23-26 October, 1944) wearing a rather lovely bias-cut silk-crêpe Vionnet evening gown.

Yes, but on the other hand, Tessa Thompson is fantastic as Valkyrie, and if she hadn’t been allowed to audition for the role because of her skin color, we would’ve missed out on seeing just how good she could be.
