I've watched a lot of sitcoms this year (I hated them until now for god knows what reason) including Community, Bitch in apartment 23, Happy Endings, The IT Crowd, The Office UK, but Veep was by far my favourite. I paused the videos so many times so I could roll around crying with laughter. It is just spectacular.

Is Fincher still doing that remake of the British Utopia? Considering the original was cancelled I was looking forward to that.

It seems mind-boggling to me that scum of this magnitude can just walk freely wherever he pleases. Fuck that. He should rot in prison.

This Christmas episode of Black Mirror was the scariest thing I've seen this whole year. The other episodes were sad, tragic, discomforting but this one was chilling to the bone. Well, at least, it was for me.

I am not judging her! Of course she had to do tv shows for steady pay if other work didn't come her way! She had to pay the bills. I'm just saying maybe now after Boyhood's success, fucked-up Hollywood might give her more chances for better quality work regardless of her age. Medium was a successful show but let's

Let's not make this a contest. They're both great french actresses. I would add several others that made their signature an ability to balance strength and vulnerability: Jessica Chastain, Juliette Binoche, Gong Li, Naomi Watts.

Delighted for the Strangers by the Lake mention. Should have been on the main list, in the upper spots, it's one perfect film.

The thing I am most glad about the hype surrounding Boyhood is that it puts the spotlight back on Patricia Arquette's awesomeness. She's a formidable actress (a beautiful one too) and she deserves much more recognition. She wasted her talents far too long on stupid tv shows, and apparently she's going to be in the CSI

It sounds like she's a bit of a conspiracy theorist, that's not such an awful thing. She's not a Scientologist or a Jehovah's Witness, that would've put a damper to my infatuation with her.

Surprisingly, I haven't watched any movies by Ceylan, even though they seem like my cup of tea, so I should watch them in anticipation to this.

Burn it! Burn it with fire! I don't know why I hate these museum movies so much, but I hate them!

I had a teacher in elementary school that nicknamed kids after which golden age stars they resembled. I was Liz, after Elizabeth Taylor. Sadly, I haven't lived up as an adult to that nickname. One of my greatest failures.

So I see you're a crusader for Calvary's merit to be on these best of lists. I support you in your endeavour. My favourite film this year, really funny and tragic and beautiful.

Marion Cotillard is fucking amazing in everything she does. Even in that silly, sort of her debut movie Taxi.

Changing lives for the better? That's stretching it a little. It was a fun, silly blockbuster, not best movies material. As Honest Trailers put it nicely, it was Avengers in space.

The deranged one with the bird shit on his face. And the rabbit sleigh.

Everybody's comparing Peter Jackson with George Lucas. But the fact is the latter was in it just for the money. It is obvious poor Jackson is so distraught he hasn't got the rights to any other Tolkien property that he dragged, inflated and butchered The Hobbit so he can live just a bit longer in that universe (for

The last scene in Frank where Michael Fassbender sings. Such a sweet, touching scene.

Eva Green's monologue in Penny Dreadful, Seance episode. And Ruth Wilson's scene in the last episode of The Affair where she talks about her son's death.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson was by far the worst lead of any blockbuster this summer. He was so awful I cringed every time he appeared on screen, he acts like a zombie. I'm very worried for next year's Avengers, because if he hasn't improved his acting skills, Evan Peters will take Quicksilver all to himself and run circles
