If we want to talk about Disney stuff not aging well, I'd skip over Cinderella and go straight to the depiction of Native Americans in Peter Pan as Exhibit 1.

He’s one of my favorites working right now, too. Prisoners is fantastic, and Enemy is great, but seriously creepy and wtf. I rented the former digitally on Amazon, and the latter is on Netflix right now.

It’s not surprising, though. I've seen it, but it was damned hard to track down. It's not even available for rent on Amazon, iTunes, or any of the other digital services, let alone available for free.

I really like him in Killing Them Softly.

Our six year old absolutely loves this game, and the special rules are the reason why. I don't know why they don't do that with more of the themed Monopoly games, instead of just making them reskins.

I’m a big fan of Farnsworth's performances in Misery and The Straight Story, so now I'm going to have to try to find a way to check this out.

She was all right in Scream 4.

That’s a nice suggestion these activists are making, but this isn't really how contracts work.

That checks out.

48% is way higher than I would expect.

Dude. This is the kind of weird hyperbole that Hawke was commenting on.”

Good for you. I loved it, many other people loved it. I didn't suggest that every movie I listed there would appeal to every single person. Tastes differ.

I respect the hell out of Hawke as an actor, but I disagree completely with him about Logan. It wasn’t just great as a superhero film, it was great as a film period. Sure, it’s got a guy with metal in his hands. It’s also got Sir Patrick Stewart giving one of the most heartbreaking and affecting performances about

... BUT if I had to pick a favorite Bill McNeal moment, it’d be the episode where he keeps popping up with a piano to sing terrible political songs while Dave is running around trying not to lose his job at Lorelai Gilmore's behest, culminating in Bill coldcocking Paul Gleason.

The ending of that episode, with the barrage of canes ("this one displeases me," "this one I'll keep") is one of the most brilliant bits of comedy. But there are so many great moments from NewsRadio, it's hard to pick favorites.

I’ll honestly never get over Hartman’s death. He’s one of the most talented comedians who ever lived and whenever I think of all the great laughs he wasn’t able to give us over the past 20 years, it’s saddening.

This is a great list and I agree with much of it (and boy, 98 was a great year for film), but here are some honorable mentions that would probably make my own list:

Univision executives will eat cake and then punch all the remaining commenters in their faces.

Jon Hamm is headed into a zone of danger"

Yes. It's also what I was going to say.
