You know guys, some other stuff has happened since 1945. Just sayin'.

If I had to cast Moriarty… are Gary Oldman or Alan Rickman up for some television?

I love the way they're working in the Baker Street Irregulars. I was also surprised and pleased at the unexpected choice of Vinnie Jones as Moriarty — a hulking beast with a brain to match — or so it seemed. Now I'm really eager to see who WILL be playing Moriarty. I'm guessing that'll be a season finale

I agree, they're all decent, but there's not really a stand-out among the bunch.

Ann Dowd did a self-financed Oscar campaign? Can someone elaborate on that? That's both kind of cool and incredibly depressing at the same time.

I get that, it's important to remember that not all input is valid criticism. If a review is essentially just a string of insults, it's crossed over into what could essentially be called heckling. Some of the reviews he read seemed like it was just him sulking, but he had a legitimate gripe on some so-called reviewers

Yeah, I remember that part. As I recall the "critic" was just some blogger guy and his "critique" was actually more in line with heckling than a true criticism. I guess whether or not the documentary went beyond it's scope is dependent on just how you define heckling. I thought it was pretty interesting, even though I

I once saw Mike Ness chuck a large bottle at a skinhead in the audience who was just yelling racist things at the band for some reason. It was memorable, but I would have preferred to just hear the songs uninterrupted.

Did I see a different documentary? While the interviewed hecklers seems to posit the theory that they heckled as a form of valid criticism and to "help" the performer improve, I didn't see that as the main thesis of the movie. In fact it seemed like the conclusion was that that was total bullshit and the people were

I agree. It would be memorable if someone came into that writer's office and urinated all over it. That doesn't mean it should be condoned.

There's was an (awful) show here in Seattle called 'Almost Live!' Regular cast members included the likes of Joel McHale and Bill Nye. They play reruns of it after SNL. It's a great reminder that you should probably just go to bed already.

No doubt "purists" and die-hard fans of the original will sulk, but who gives a damn? It looks entertaining.

Nope. I think Nolan backlash can be traced back to when people started saying he was the next Kubrick. He makes highly entertaining movies.

Looper should not be on any best of list. I've already griped plenty on the subject, but I will say people gave that a free pass for being dumb and making no sense but ripped Prometheus to shreds for leaps in logic. Prometheus may not have been whip smart, but I'd watch it a dozen times before ever watching the

Thank you. Agreed.

Thank you. Agreed.

Who's saying it "redefines the genre"? I'm not seeing a whole lot of that. It's pretty much the ultimate pop-corn film (and way under-represented in this list.)

The Avengers is criminally under-represented on this list. Easily one of the best of the year. At least Tasha knows what's up.
