A.V. Club Head Writer Ranks the Best-Worst Movies
When A.V. Club head writer Nathan Rabin launched his "My Year of Flops" column in June 2007, he uncorked heady vitriol in the direction of Cameron Crowe's career-damning "Elizabethtown" (an opinion he later recanted somewhat). But he also hatched a recurring series that was destined for paperback companionship. More than three years later, Scribner allowed the critic-cum-author a chance to ...
9 Moments When 'Monday Night Raw' Went Mainstream
Some Americans remember where they were when JFK died, or the day McDonald's first unleashed its McRib sandwich. But for those of us who grew up watching Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation as a palate cleanser after Saturday morning cartoons, Jan. 11, 1993, was a watershed moment: the USA Network's live debut of WWF's "Monday Night Raw." Seventeen-plus years later, the ...
How to Be a Porn Star Magnet -- Tips From a Guy Who Ought to Know

Author Julie Klausner Tells You How to Be a Better Boyfriend
In her scathingly funny memoir, "I Don't Care About Your Band," Julie Klausner gives a lacerating account of some of the men she's dated. That her self-effacing vignettes of sexual humiliation and empowerment paint these dudes in a less-than-flattering light is understandable -- they are almost all deviant man-whores cloaked in the sheep's clothing of adorably unassuming jeans and T-shirts. ...

The Best 2010 Movies We Haven't Seen Yet
No, that headline doesn't mean we're counting down the best 2,000-plus flicks set to arrive in the indefinite future of cinema. Although if we did, here's hoping that the list would include "Young Guns III" and a racy biopic about the God Warrior. In actuality, we've turned to the tapped-in Los Angeles–based film critic known as Carson Reeves to give us a glimpse into Hollywood's crystal ...

In a nutshell, the Wondershirt is a ...

Boy Scouts and Burrito Eaters Busted for 'Deadly' Weaponry
There was once a time when all American teenagers were required to throw tires off of bridges onto oncoming traffic, shoot each other in the eyes with BB guns and glory in the slaughter of make-believe "redskins." Obviously, in many ways, we're in a better place now as a nation. But reading the news lately, we have to wonder if we haven't gotten a little soft when it comes to kids and weapons. ...
