Garlin calling Michael Moore has to be up there

To be fair "I thought everyone loved you" was a pretty fantastic punchline

To go ahead and name five more great ones that haven't been mentioned: 
Nine Months, Heart Condition, Gone Fishin, Deadly Friend, Eight Crazy Nights

Sightseers looks fantastic.

I think There Will Be Blood is a very good film

I guess the release of this book means he'll be cutting back on the 2-3 various podcast appearances a week he's been making the last couple of months which is a goddamn shame. I like seeing 'guest DC Pierson' in my podcast queue.

Love this movie, my 20 year old self went to see it in the theaters with friends to make fun of it and we walked out championing it

By what criteria is Rango underrated? Along with its critical kudos it won an Oscar for Best Animated film and had a successful box office run.

I agree, 3:10 to Yuma might have been a better call for that precious second Mangold slot after Walk the Line

I agree, but the Flop House generally covers any new release that gets poor reviews and/or has a silly premise

Despicable Me 2 will outgross the Monsters Inc prequel

Future How Did This Get Made? candidate: The Lone Ranger

Clark Kent disguises his identity by taking off a pair of glasses, how do you not categorize this as one of the ultimate violations of the basic rules of cause and effect?

A very safe bet, Depp has his finger on the pulse of all the international markets probably until he's in a pine box

I believe the top grossing movie of the 2013 summer movie season will be Iron Man 3 and I will be lodging my annual $5,000 bet with my good friend Stan Grossman in support of it. Last year I bet the farm (literally, the deed to my deceased Grandfather's farm in lieu of $5,000) on The Dark Knight Rises while Stan opted
