I love AVCP! Twice as much condescension, no Dawes pitches!

Thanks Dad. I take it you must not work anymore then, eh?

Dowd did give Whiplash an A, and Birdman a B+, so that might be interesting to compare. Probably means I won't care for Whiplash, will be ambivalent on Birdman, and will love Foxcatcher.

Anyone who listens to the financial advice of teevee entertainers deserves whatever tragedy befalls them.

I'd add that I think the old adage "no idea's original" applies in this situation. I don't think Nolan would or has denied that other movies and sci-fi concepts influenced him. I agree with Lack of Name that he does take risks because it's a "mainstream" big-budget movie that strays from today's mold. Any time you're…

Dong King sure "Stuarted" that one…

Other person number five here!

I certainly don't think you're in the minority for enjoying the cringeworthy moments of Stuart (and Jessica) striking out. I think you can't really be a fan of the show without reveling in it. That said, I also think there was always a certain amount of sentimentality to the show. Stuart and Jessica's platonic "will…

… which is what I thought for a second, and was also confused.

I like Interstellar more, not just because, as Lack of Name says above, it took more risks, but also because I thought its emotional core was actually stronger and better developed than Inception's. Perhaps it's the "dead spouse" trope, but I thought the father-daughter relationship — which serves to bring the entire…

Why am I not surprised that BSG would be the first thing to come up on a thread like this and that it would DOMINATE the comments?

You just made me reconsider that whole series. It perfectly explains the show's slow descent into incoherence and randomness. Thank you for salvaging it for me.

- While I would NEVER claim that The Godfather, Part III is good, I will say that the ending is somewhat redeeming. Michael Corleone dying alone (in a manner similar to his father in The Godfather, holding a piece of fruit), without his children or any other family to speak of (his daughter's death partly his doing)…

Can the answer come in the form of an incomprehensible flow chart scribbled on a chalk board? If so, I'm sure you'll have the proof you need in no time.

Somewhere Michael Steele is ambling down a dusty road to The Incredible Hulk's Sad Walking Away music…

haha you said "gism"

Just rechecked the 2012 record, and you are indeed right. I obviously had that all screwed up in my head. That makes Lewis' win all the more egregious, IMO. Now I'm just angry.
I'm fine with the Daniels win (I remember that one), even if I'm not a huge Newsroom or Sorkin fan. Daniels was excellent in that first season.

You make very fair points. The ending to BSG is fine in my view. The journey there throughout seasons 3 and 4 become not just a bit of a drag, but I found the "secret models" plot to get more fatuous by the episode. I wouldn't argue the series should have ended full stop at the end of season two or three without…
