The A.V. Club

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be hosting the Golden Globes in both 2014 and 2015. At press time, Billy Crystal was found in an alley fashioning a hat out of tinfoil, screaming at a rat: “They can take my job but they can never take my brain!”

For a brief moment Homestar Runner ruled the Internet. And then cat GIFs happened. THE BLOOD IS ON OUR HANDS, TUMBLR!

Charlie Hunnam has pulled out of the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie, leaving producers and audiences equally unfulfilled. It’s not you, Fifty Shades Of Grey, it’s Charlie Hunnam.

Ha. What do you mean I’ve “gone mad”? Tee-hee. I invited you into my home, offered you a delightful Fabergé egg omelet, and shown you the raccoon room and this is how you treat me? Ha.

HA!

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Despite the protests of reasonable people the world over, Cheetos offers Pepsi-flavored and cheeseburger-flavored versions in Japan, and The A.V.

Tom Hanks can never get fat or skinny for another film ever again. Life is like a box of chocolates, and those chocolates gave him diabetes. 

Oliver Stone, the man who wrote Scarface, said that Breaking Bad's finale was “ridiculous” and too violent. He also didn’t pay attention to the series, so in his mind it’s the story of a family of ducks trying to find the perfect loaf of bread that inexplicably ends with the dad from Malcolm In The Middle killing people with a machine gun.

Blink-182 gave punk its first No. 1 album with Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. Get it? No, I’m seriously asking, it’s been 12 years and I still don’t get it.

Mistakes happen. So why don’t more movies leave them in? Probably because Rocky would have amounted to one long grunt, but there are other reasons too.
