The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one

If nothing else, if not for the AV Club's Random Roles, there's a decent chance we'd never have had the opportunity for Curtis Armstrong to tell his story about working on the Gary Busey film "Quigley".

This is a great story, and yet another reminder that -- for something that felt like a fun goofy feature when it launched -- as we lose more and more actors, the AV Club's "Random Roles" has turned out to be an amazing oral history project.

Crosstalk: We argue it out over one of 2025’s biggest puzzles, the game Blue Prince
Did Blue Prince get too esoteric with its puzzles? Was its randomness too punitive and player-unfriendly? Two A.V. Club writers hash it out in the latest Crosstalk.

Deeply grateful that my debut for the AV Club was in support of such a huge piece of work, alongside industry pros like Jacob and Brandon. A lot of fun to read through, too.

James Cameron tried to bring the Western into the future, but only went backwards
Avatar: Fire And Ash shows how clearly James Cameron has regressed towards the worst tropes of the Western.
