My top 10 for this year would be:

The broccoli fact that isn't true actually isn't really that far off. Broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are all the same species of plant (brassica oleracea). They are all grouped in different cultivars of the species, but under the original Linnaean heirarchy, they are all the same plant. Science!

I have 3: Minority Report, which I turn off with Anderton imprisoned, before he is ultimately freed, which turns a great thematically relevant movie into a strangely happy ending that feels tonally divorced from the rest of the film; Return of the King, which I stop watching at the end of Aragon's coronation, before

How about Bobby Vinton's "Sealed With A Kiss"? That's about as classic (and oft covered) a sad summer song as you're likely to find.

A agree wholeheartedly on the Kid A, The Dark Knight, and New Gods
assertions. I think all three are overrated and I get little particular
enjoyment from them. I zoned out on Radiohead after The Bends. I
think The Dark Knight is a mediocre movie elevated by a memorable Health
Ledger performance and the mystique

Not to butter you all up, but the commenters are really on quite the lobster roll with this bisque-ussion

Maybe Luke isn't in most of the publicity imagery because he isn't in the film much. I'm assuming that he likely only comes into play at the very end. I'm guessing that once the new Jedi candidate(s) are revealed throughout the course of the film, someone (most likely Leia) sends them to where Luke is hiding out to

With the Dr. Strange movie on the horizon, I'm sort of wondering if that wasn't actually a different planet, but maybe a different dimension… possibly a Darkforce dimension.

They missed an opportunity by not discussing his role in Modern Vampires.
