Lego Batman and John Wick - teaming up at the box office to fight Fifty Shades of Sexual Abuse!

Is she an Atlanta Falcons fan maybe? Or maybe a fan of the Falcon?

The film even addresses this point in the first five minutes or so.

A documentary about cats? This should be an automatic A.

Well fine, I'll quit going to the cinema or reading or listening to music for the forseeable future and just watch the news and be depressed forever.

It didn't when the 49ers stuffed the Broncos! Mind you, I think that was the only time (and the Falcons aren't Joe Montana and co)…

I have to start using this excuse for missing deadlines at work. 'I'm just too down about the state of the world to care about publishing books!'

The Patriots to win, they're not playing their Super Bowl Kryptonite in the Giants and Eli Manning after all. Obviously I hope the Falcons crush them though.

I should try and see Peter Chelsom's first few films at some point, I've heard good things about them. Shame that Town and Country seemed to completely wreck any promise he once had.

Not sure that's quite true (it's not the 90s anymore), it tends to vary a lot, I mean we got The Lobster almost a year before the US!

You say that like Hollywood is full of women in their early 40s who look like Nigel Farage. Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain and Rashida Jones are all in their early 40s (or close to it) and they definitely don't look like Farage.

Speed (aka The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down) - one of the few films to still be great despite having an atrocious last half-hour (or however long that train guff goes on for)

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any AV Club music review will include bitching about Pitchfork's review of said album, and this time it's bonus points for being on the first comment!

Like many of PTA's films, it's not for everyone, but I love The Master and Phoenix/Hoffman/Adams are all brilliant. Plus Anderson even finds room for a fart gag.

Stanley Kubrick: Dr Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon (and add The Shining to make it five films)
