I would say Gattaca, The Prestige, and Ex Machina are the most notable exclusions here.

That third act has always left a sour taste in my mouth. Such a waste of a quiet, dire tone.

Oooh, The Prestige. That’s the one Nolan movie that might have cracked my ballot, if I had been viewing it through the sci-fi perspective.

As the rare person who thought Arrival was merely good, I half-agree with you. The “abduction” scenes in Happy Feet are legitimately disturbing.

Interstellar was almost one of the greatest science fiction movies of the decade until the ending. Everything past the black hole was rubbish (I mean, it made for great cinema, but terrible science fiction. It didn’t even try to be speculative, just... make shit up.) Otherwise, yes. And Arrival ought to have been much…

So a bunch of Hollywood producers are sitting around in a room and say “This is a damn good movie but lets kick it up a bit and add a monster in the third reel!” and this is how “Sunshine” was ruined. Still one of the best I believe. 

Gattaca? The Prestige? Total Recall? 28 Days Later? Interstellar? The Martian? Ex Machina?

This pratfall right here. This one destroys me every fucking time I see it. She is incredible.

Agreed on Sweet Dee physical humor. Also love Sweet Dee trying to lie her way out of something.

There’s nothing finer in the world than Kaitlyn Olson on the verge of throwing up.

Phyllis Diller, Katey Sagal, uh...

Oh my god, that funeral scene might be the hardest she’s ever made me laugh, which is saying A LOT.

buoyed by the praise that finally women were being allowed to play crass, impolitic characters.

I think that’s why Sunny has lasted as long as it has, because while the five of them are horrible, they never benefit from their horribleness or come out on top, so it comes off funny. If Dennis was successfully trapping women in his basement or whatever, it would be a HORRIFYING show.

Remember that really stupid bunch of idiots who hated Skylar White and by extension Anna Gunn for daring to stand in the way of Walt? What the fuck, people?

I blame the over saturation of anti-heroes from the 80's and 90's and conservative push to mythologize the foundation of the USA and evangelize unrestrained capitalism. Assholes became successful and were constantly being shown as being right when the system told them otherwise. I mean Rick is basically a God for…

Part of the genius of Mad Men was that it initially depicted Don’s womanizing as something glamorous and enviable, then over time began to depict that behavior as isolating and pathetic. You initially see Don as the ultimate capitalistic/patriarchal power fantasy, but over time come to see him as a desperate, hollow…

Anyone who thinks It’s Always Sunny is worth emulating in real life knows nothing about the characters “THAT ARE SHOWN” in the show.

Wait, I’m not supposed to like Rorschach? Fuck, thanks for the heads up.
