And for another one, while Louis CK does sound like a creep and I don’t want to go too far out of my way to defend him, him asking women if he can consensually jerk off in front of them back while he was still a fairly obscure comedian is considered “abusing power dynamics” and an act so heinous he should never have…

From my experience, no she really isn’t. Not anywhere near to the same extent.

Hardwick had a handful of his exes come out to defend him, dropped a bunch of texts showing Dykstra hassling him to get back together months after they broke up, Dykstra claimed she had a mountain of “evidence” but mysteriously folded after…

“Reviews were positive with an 82% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 69/100 score from Metacritic. The film earned total international box office gross receipts of $383.4 million, making it the highest-grossing film in the Die Hard series. It debuted at #2 at the U.S. box office.”

I understand why it’s a bit of…

I like how both Chris Hardwick and Aziz Ansari get absolutely crucified on this site and treated as de facto abusive rapists over far less significant and far more questionable claims, but with Asia Argento it’s “15 layers of bullshit surrounding it” and “we’ll never know what really happened, and honestly, we…

More like he just has a very proven track record of pulling off GotG movies.

Paul Feig absolutely not. Spy is the only film he wrote that’s actually pretty good and most of the greatness comes less from his usual lightly-edited SNL improv bullshit and more from the sheer absurdity of having Jason Statham pretend he’s…

The absolute state of hipster contrarianism on this site.

RLM liked Looper and Brick, so I’m gonna take a wild guess and say they’ll judge the film on it’s own merits, since they’re not the Anti-SJW boogeyman people make them out to be.

And for better or worse, TLJ is somewhat of a career-ending misstep for Rian Johnson, as far as his chances of comfortably sitting on top of…

Occam’s razor.

I guess it could go either way, but I feel as though the first one requires quite a bit less subtext than the other one. That Helper is clearly old, confused, and more than a bit out of whack.

We know that “sideways” cloning i.e. growing a simultaneous replacement copy of oneself to transfer consciousness…

I think a key overlooked point is that Red Helper starts to talk about something he isn’t supposed to and freaks out, Dean mentions the clone thing, then the Red Helper ever so slightly hesitates before supposedly rolling with it.

Rusty being a clone may be related, but I feel as though there might be a larger secret…

Nobody here really likes Hardwick that much, but looking factually at the timeline of events and the back-and-forths between Hardwick and Dykstra, if you’re willing to apply even the slightest bit of skepticism then something doesn’t entirely add up. There’s testimonies of Hardwick’s other exes, Dykstra claiming she…

Not in the slightest? Hip hop has always been first and foremost a young man’s game, it’s only recently we’ve started having 30-40 year old rappers having a bit of an artistic reneissance.

Also, bear in mind AV Club is easily one of the whitest sites on the internet and only one step above ‘rap, more like crap…

Only the extremely mainstream stuff and especially more so in the current trap-dominated era.

Check out some Open Mike Eagle, yo.

He did immediately apologize for it back in 2005.

And while I don’t think a “Colonial and Native” costume party would really be PC approved in the first place nowadays, that shit was mildly edgy tabloid fodder at best.

Tbf their Plinkett review of it is a much better analytical takedown of the way the movie fails apart in almost every aspect. For the HitB they were just drunk off their faces and ranting away.

Your idea of “stand-up” are three minute long Vine-comedy-tier YouTube vlog parody skits done by a comedian who’s also been doing actual live stand-up for the past decade?

Eh, there’s more to the general showbiz and longstanding popular shows getting canned than the network being dumb.

Networks can be and often are dumb, but that’s almost always primarily motivated by profit and pure numbers.

It’s asinine to say stand-up is far more inherently based around performing in front of a live audience than being a musician or painter?

It was, but were you not around AVC for the Great Ghostbusters 2016 Culture War?

Most sites that latched onto its “progressiveness” gimmick, rode that bandwagon pretty hard, so a lot of them were in a bit of a pickle having spent 8 months shilling pro-Ghostbusters clickbait and decrying every detractor as a sexist…

Internet wasn’t really a thing back then so every hack blogger and youtuber couldn’t keep beating the dead horse.

People are lowkey mad because they tore Ghostbusters 2016 a new asshole.
