This is especially disheartening in a year where some of my favorite films were made by women. Andrea Arnold could easily get a nod for American Honey

Totally agree with A.A. Down on Loving. I have a pretty high tolerance for snoozefests, but I have no idea what critics are seeing in this one.

Heart of a Dog got a ton of love last year on other lists; I'm guessing it's one of those fuzzy-release-date things

The film is pretty much half past and half present. My guess is both child + adult stars were considered "supporting"

What a depressing list of Best Actors this year. Affleck is the only one I can visualize winning.

Looking forward to this one! A dry, flawed procedural seems like exactly the sort of thing I could use in my life.

"Trump did not win because of the internet anymore than David Bowie died because of it."

Bill Nighy is the best thing about About Time by a landslide. Glad to see he has fond memories of that one.

I'd implore people hating on Trevor Noah to read (or better, listen to his own narration of) his book Born a Crime. Dude has a great sense of humor and an interesting perspective. Revitalized my enthusiasm for where he'll go in the next few years.

I'd take issue with that. There are plenty of valid criticisms one could have for the show, and almost none of them involve being "dim". The AVC has been pretty good at leveling most of them. As an AI researcher who likes the show a fair bit, I'd say its primary flaw is it takes itself far too seriously given its…

"Maize? Follow me." And with that, the MiB and the Ghost Nation chief celebrate the first Thanksgiving.

She'd switch from selling Wesson to…wait for it…Castro Oil

I'm taking a cue from Gwyneth and being blandly diplomatic

This does seem like a fairly thin article. Michael Che said virtually the same thing in today's interview, as did Jon Stewart a week back. Only here she was specifically speaking at a corporate event, where one often bends over backwards to not be explicitly divisive. Whether you take these statements as genuine ("I'm…

Same for me

He did make for a pretty crazy headline, but in context it's only medium-crazy. He's basically repeating the line of "we need to wait for the baby boomers to die out" in a more theatrical / menacing way. Referring to the older generation wanting things to go back to the way things were.

That hardly seems like it's "lampooning" though, right? If anything the language of the speech (where liberals are "pussies" but the bad guys are "assholes") seems like a goofy skewing of American exceptionalism. The characters are decrying liberalism, but the characters aren't themselves representing it.

Other than the asides about the various celebrities, in what sense was Team America lampooning liberals? Wasn't it primarily about Bush-era American exceptionalism?

+1000 for anchovies. Most underrated snack ever.

To be fair, it would add a lot of diversity for Trump to include a gay fish in his cabinet
