Oh no, it’d be a beautiful thing indeed.

If this was the Roger Moore era he’d show up in the next film in a neck brace.

I think you’re right about the end of Skyfall heralding a tonal shift. Spectre is definitely camp in the sense of taking its own ludicrousness seriously, but it tries for that ‘gritty’ tone at the same time, which is understandable given a) the success of Casino Royale and b) the depths that some of Roger Moore’s…

“a guy in the theatre stood up and yelled “Wakanda forever!” and it was awesome obnoxious and stupid”

Fixed it.

“In the end, the only one who has to sacrifice himself is Tony Stark, who’s previously been living out the billionaire dream of staying totally insulated from global calamity. The world crumbles, but Stark and his family are healthy and happy and fine. In the end, everyone besides Stark returns, ready to fight. (Pity…

The bastard lovechild of Sean Astin and Steve Martin.

Sorry(ish) to be *that guy*, but I think your device has autocorrected ‘suave’ to Sauvé, the name of one of the governor generals of Canada in the 1980s.

aha, those are the ones that I’d be least inclined to tout as the best of the decade (except for TFCF)! (Although to be clear, ‘worst Low/Liars album of the decade’ is still not a bad thing.)

It’s so hard to pick a favourite Low album – almost any of them that’ve come out in the last decade, I’ve believed to be their best work for a while. Ones and Sixes probably has the most sentimental value for me, but I also think it’s more consistent than C’mon. On the other hand though, C’mon has ‘Nothing but heart’,…

I expected to have a lot to argue with about this list, but I’m actually pretty impressed with this.

iirc he was the subject of the scene which demonstrated that the writers didn’t understand time travel (i.e. he has his fingers cut off in the past so he’s no longer able to drive a car, but did manage to open the car door just a few seconds before that)

tbf, Looper is really terrible (and I say this as someone who’d like to think that anything with Paul Dano in is worth watching)

Fair do’s bud. It’s not the one that I’m most surprised or disappointed not to see in the list, but I was certainly surprised that You Were Never Really Here won out over it.

- Anything by Ben Wheatley
- Sorry to Bother You
- Swiss Army Man, you fucking cowards
- We Need to Talk About Kevin
- Snowpiercer
- Dunkirk
- Every other Villeneuve film, particularly Prisoners
- Calvary
- BlacKkKlansman
- Birdman
- Gravity
- Logan
- Us
- Alpha Papa

Snubs, from bemusing to unforgivable:

Black Panther
Birdman
Every other Denis Villeneuve film
Any Ben Wheatley film
Sorry to Bother You
Swiss Army Man

Every Denis Villeneuve film since (and of course including) Prisoners deserves to be on this list; the absence of BR2049 is probably the least controversial imho.

“And of course, number one needs no introduction”

I know that this is a smokin’ hot take but that Mjolnir thing was stupid. If Cap could just lift it and smash Thanos with it in order to rescue Thor that’d make sense – he was *nearly* worthy in Ultron (fuck whatever the Russos say) and became worthy enough to lift it via everything that he’s been through in the films…

All I Really Want is to hop in a TARDIS to get there, but I’m Not The Doctor

There’s not a huge amount that I remember about Salvation either, but what I do remember was fine. There was a nice bit where ‘Rooster’ by Alice in Chains played from an abandoned car, and iirc the final fight tapped into the idea from the first film that the terminators aren’t scary because they’re technologically…
