Jurassic World is pretty passable, though.

This is such half-assed criticism.

"So you want to do a prolonged interview about my culpability in several murders? No I'm not worried about incriminating mys—hang on, I need another bump."

Jesus Christ why does everything need to be a competition.

Yeah they sure are prestigious.

This is only a 2014 cut, but my favourite film that I saw this year was Clouds of Sils Maria.
