I dunno, I saw a documentary once where some finance bros were attacked by a clown just because they were singing show tunes.

The Naked Gun Review - IGN It’s nothing new, but it takes tremendous cleverness to be as hilariously stupid as The Naked Gun.

It's all still too fresh, and there's a lot of processing to do, but what's certain is that I'm glad my two years at IGN ended with a review of the new Naked Gun.

This is a huge bummer. Everyone who has ever worked with Erik (and probably some who have not) knows that he is The Best.

Nothing hits like a Law & Order where the judge is a bad guy. You get McCoy arching his eyebrows really high and saying something like "And you forgot you work for THE PEOPLE your honor!" and then the old man playing the judge just kind of sheepishly looks down.

There are two kinds of people: those who have the slightest idea of what’s going on here and those who don’t. Both are equally reprehensible.

The extent to which my life has been tangibly impacted by Hulk Hogan is fucking astonishing. And I think that's all I have to say about his death.

I couldn’t possibly spoil what video game this is referring to, but when somebody breaks the 4th wall to say β€œa really long cutscene is coming up,” you better listen.

With Just 2 Words, Marvel’s Superhero Masterpiece Gave Us the Genre's Most Defining Scene Every person in the theater freaked out when this Avengers: Endgame moment happened, and now it's cinematic history.

I wrote a little thing for Collider, if you can believe I have thoughts on the "Avengers, assemble" scene in Endgame. collider.com/avengers-end...

With the way smartphones are getting bigger, you’re gonna need to make sure you fabricate a floating carrier before heading out!
Or, you know, something like that but funnier.

I think I remember Gunn being very dismissive of the CW shows when he got this DC gig. Maybe he should've listened to us smart people and done a deep dive on the Arrowverse.

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League Review - IGN A gleefully (and knowingly) stupid tribute to anime and American superheroes, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League doesn’t care what you think – it’s here to have fun.

The newish Batman Ninja movie is on Max now I guess, here’s my IGN review from a while back. I liked it! www.ign.com/articles/bat...

I've had a bad week, but the apparent death of G/O Media is a bright spot. I hope its corpse is buried as close to hell as possible.
And there's also something perfect about announcing an "epilogue" while still desperately clutching The Root, the only website it seemed like they ever cared about.
