How ridiculously long this game is purported to be has kept me from playing a second more of it after getting it release day and playing it for a few hours immediately thereafter. It's not so aggressive that I think it's impossible I'll like it even at the length, but I don't want to spend every hour of free time I…

Also, my memories of Chris Brown's Forever are so, so infinitely far more linked to the Office than the horrible human being he is, so I can't help but keep on embracing my love of those hooks that just never stop giving.

It might legitimately be impossible for me to overstate how much I dislike Sufjan Stevens, but Age of Adz the song is brimming with the life and intrigue every other song of his lacks for me, to the degree that it honestly might just have stolen all of the vigor from the rest of his entire existence for its own…

I did the same, after that episode in which Quinn jumped the shark. I didn't think the first season was exceptional but it was good enough that I was willing to stick around if it remained at least good and man it really really didn't imo.

I Could If I Wanted To is the first time I've wanted to download a song from this show, as much as I really really like it I've never thought the songs really shone as songs rather than sort of perfectly little expressions of the show's personality. I Could If I Wanted To I legitimately just want to keep listening,…

Marnie has been probably my favorite of the main four girls in the past two seasons or so; Shosh will forever and ever be my favorite character on this show for just how enormously and purely she delighted me and still can delight me, but Marnie's the only character left who constantly engages me in the way this show…

I'm pretty frustrated that either the author or editor evidently doesn't actually know Ronan's character's name. And I will also be in kind really frustrated if this is the only fairly critical take of the Best Picture nominees. I've seen a lot of people gladhand Brooklyn as "really pleasant but easy" and I think…

Oh snap I can't believe this is actually worthwhile. I was going to watch it either way for Foster but it's awesome that my time will not be squandered.

Also, the assertion that anyone could make a masterpiece over 12 years is obviously silly, but anyone who could make a movie could make a coherent one over 12 years if they chose to shoot it that way and it would be among that person's most acclaimed films.

One of the worse scenes in a bad movie imo

Well… Yeah. Neill Blomkamp is a hack. Of course it could be. It probably will be.

Way more than that, though, reading this article was a fun exercise in learning how poorly even film writers can predict the Oscars (more than one of you said there's any chance Moore won't win? Am I being punked?).

I would actually say this is the weakest Best Picture slate since the category expanded, with both lower highs and lows than any of the other groups of nominees since 2009 (and simply more lows, for that matter). Every other category basically has at least one or two solid nominees every year, which is the case this…

This is exactly what I asked for from them so I could hardly be more elated (well, I also said I'd probably pass on Bosch, but it's certainly the far preferable of the two weaker ones imo, with the Rebels being the other). I don't love Transparent or the After yet but I see a lot of potential there and I feel like…

I am so very excited I didn't even realize how excited I was until I read this article but I am so fucking excited

Crash is without even a moment of hesitation one of the two or three worst movies I've ever seen. It's easily my least-favorite winner of any award at any major awards show in the history of film. That said, it's no fun to pick on Crash, so like whoever picked a Beautiful Mind (I'm already down here, I'm not…

The only part of this article I can speak to: the assertion that it was ever difficult to tell what of Hannah is Hannah and what is Lena is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this site.

Honestly, I'm not surprised, but it's lovely to read this nonetheless.

A lot of shows that were among my favorites this year didn't end up on the list, so I'm glad they were honored here. Bunheads and Orphan Black, especially. Here's a rough top 10 of my favorite shows this year.

I quickly Ctrl+F'd Pennsatucky and was shocked that I was immediately reading that the show did a disservice to her. I find the escalation of her unhinged wrath toward Chapman totally, perfectly done. In general this is probably my favorite ensemble on television, only meaningfully competing with Game of Thrones and…
