If only those nice fellows behind Atlas Shrugged Part 2 had sent in one of those lovely promotional replica Rearden metal bracelets the film may have gotten a more glowing review (because, as you'd expect, the AV Club is all about conducting value-for-value exchanges exclusively with like minded individuals).

Grand Theft Auto didn't make me want to get a gun. It just made me never answer the phone to my fucking cousin ever again.

Mortal Kombat also had the option of 'Friendship' to resolve conflict. Two people who despise each other are brought together in a fight to the death which instead results in a gift of a lovely birthday cake!

I got a lot of shit in the 2012 Film of the Year article for saying Prometheus was my favourite for the year (though that may have been because people still had their hackles up over me earlier having the sheer gall not to like Moonrise Kingdom).

I liked Prometheus. In fact, this is as good a place as any to declare that Prometheus is my movie of the year for 2012. Don't let the fact that I only saw three other movies this year take the shine off my bold declaration.
