I watched Project X on the plane, which is the appropriate place to watch it. I have to give the movie credit for ramping up the absurdity into full-blown murderous chaos in the last twenty minutes, but by the same token I don't think I ever actually laughed.

Biggest Snubs:
Partysaurus Rex - Best Animated Short (1,000 times yes)Best Editing - Cloud Atlas
Best Documentary Feature - The Impostor

Technically, their reputation DOES suffer, just not much - if you imagined a world where Michael Caine only starred in his good movies, he'd have at least a slightly better rep than he does with the crap on his resume.

I am still waffling over whether Resident Evil: Retribution or Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days was the worst movie I've seen all year. No slam on Jovovich, who frequently kicks ass and shouldn't have been nominated, but RE5 was more than just an inept cash-in sequel. It was a seriously aggravating hell ride of bullshit…

Massively redundant. Someone else mentioned TMZ, and that's a perfect comparison - the ultimate in safe, bitter harping on tabloid celebrities. Every year it's the same easy targets, toothlessly attacked - and their "joke" nominations are seriously fucking unfunny. Worst onscreen couple is "Tyler Perry and his Drag…

Ferrell has a shtick firmly in place and people are already finding it really tiresome (see: Eastbound & Down, where he sticks out like a really sore thumb). But he throws in more interesting variations on his shtick than Sandler - Ricky Bobby is legitimately different from Ron Burgundy, who is different from his…

Final Destination 2 was a fucking blast in the theaters with no expectations. After the dour, grim nihilism of the first one, the only place to go was ridiculous laughs. And FD2 found them. Fuck it, B+. The movie works.

It's a curious dance. I loathe the shit out of hecklers, those drunk pricks who come to a show specifically to impress their dates by picking on funny nerds under a spotlight.

Yeah, that one is great, and paradoxically, she has nothing to do in it! It's like she only works hard at being charming and amazing when the material is awful.

"Freeing critics to find some other supposed secret genius to champion."
Like say, Isla Fisher, who is the best thing about every terrible, terrible movie she's in.

It's a tough line to walk, re: Judy Berman's thesis that people are no longer interested in watching rich people on TV during tough economic times. In the absence of good writing, people will at least settle for watching attractive wealthy people and their attractive wealthy problems. It's simultaneously an escape…

Hehe, that one was my idea too. Clearly I have an axe to grind.

They're really a lot more like the Killers, and "Weekend" has a touch of Michael Jackson as well. I'm not their #1 fan or anything, but I think they get pretty unfairly trashed.

"Madness" really grew on me. And I will happily cosign on "Everybody Talks," although after giving that Neon Trees album a preview and downloading "Weekend" as well, I have to say that's my favorite pop song of 2012.

To me the worst show on television, forever and always, will be TMZ. All it takes is thinking about the constant snap-zooms to fake-laughing douchebags, every one of them a struggling actor pretending to be a celebrity-hating paparazzo for the camera, chortling over Lindsay Lohan's latest stumble towards a…
