Also: A History of Violence, Caché, Match Point, Munich, L'Enfant, Good Night & Good Luck…

Nah, it tries to have it's cake and eat it at the same time: on one hand, it shows actors as neurotics and narcissists, on the other, it's portraying superhero films as cultural genocide (Iñarritu's words about them, not mine), critics as evil, "serious" art as the true one, etc. Plus, it's horribly self-indulgent.

4 out of 6 with La La Land inevitably winning.

Interesting twist by the show in making the young, handsome lead character a reactionary and the shady, behind the scenes antagonist a more progressive figure.

Probably because the Pope doesn't have weapons of mass destruction.

Or a Sam Worthington that can act at all.

Now, THAT'S how you do a shocking twist. One of the best ever on TV, surely.

Ah, Gambit, also known as the character that doesn't have a single story about him worth liking. I imagine this movie will be an epic masterpiece, surely.

For those that think the premise is ridiculous, remember John Paul II was only a few years older than Lenny (who's 47) was when he was selected Pope.

"There was even a line in, I think, the pilot, where someone notes that
the park hasn't had a major security issue in (ding ding ding!) 30
years. That's a heck of a hint."

But Bernard ISN'T an exact replica of Arnold. We saw Arnold briefly in flashbacks with "young" Hopkins, and he was played by a white man.

Hugh Jackman…He is Old Man Logan? HOW DARE HE?

Great show, wrong network. Easily one of the best one-season wonders.

Yes, but I imagined he was in a mental institution rather than jail.

True- for example, House of M (just a NA & AXM crossover) and AvX (final story of the Messiah saga of X-men became an Avengers event), just to mention a few.

Vision quite easily wins this one. Both because it's absurdly excellent and because the competition isn't that great.

Also, Tim Kaine as a VP pick makes Hillary look very bad because he looks to be a beta male. Meanwhile, a woman or someone that looks like an alpha male would also make Hilary look very bad. And yes, he claims he isn't biased.

That stereotype doesn't really fit reality- quite often, the disease CAN be identified as malaria. Or yellow fever. Or both.

Also, the North region is known for having lots of land and zero inhabitants apart from monkeys, snakes, and other Amazonic animals. It's main product is shamelessly corrupt senators (all of whom, to prove the point about having zero inhabitants, are born in other parts of the country).

Of course you won't; here on Av Club, you'll just read them.
