I almost voted for Judge John Hodgman, but U Talkin U2 to Me was a breakout triumph this year. It's baffling and it's hilarious and it's beautiful.

One of your options for "Best Game of 2014" is "Best Game:". Come on, guys.
Rosewater, The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies, and Noah are listed for best movies of 2014, but not Birdman? What?
Inside Man is fine, and When the Levees Broke is great, but yeah, he's been missing more often than he's been hitting this last decade or so.
Move to a college town, there are thousands of girls like Bee. Hell, there are thousands of boys like Bee.
You know, I was sure I'd seen Criterion announce a release of MacGruber the other day, but it turns out I had confused it with The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.
I haven't purchased a DVD or Blu-ray that's not Criterion in years, but I would gladly buy the first season of Bee and Puppycat on a disc. The "pilot" videos alone indicate the quality of a show I'd want to share with visiting friends, and I'd love to spend as much time in the show's atmosphere as possible. I'd argue…
I also feel like it'd be far better suited for animation.
Dang dude, I hope Adapters 'n Cables Corp is paying you to buzz market them this hard
I enjoyed Red Oaks as well, but I was definitely looking forward to seeing Whit Stillman's take on a serialized story.
Well, no, but I like to default to an assumption that people aren't actually human garbage at their very core (even when they seem to insist upon appearing that way)
I think the distinction between "nerdbro" and "hipster" would be that nerdbros are aggressively shallow, aggressively conformist, aggressively not very bright, and just aggressive in general.
"The best thing PTA ever did was do a complete 180 when he made There Will Be Blood."
Sheesh, it's like someone called the Caring Detective to solve the case of the Who Cares and he done sleuthed out the solution
I don't know about "filmbro" specifically, but I feel the term "nerdbro" is valid, and there's definitely a subset of such people who are very opinionated about what movies are cool to like.
Well, of course the hype is going to be out of line with reality—it's an AV Club comment thread. People like to be very loudly opinionated about things.
Would you mind if I asked you what you didn't like about it? I'm curious!
While I think there is a point to what you're saying (this film-bro demographic absolutely exists), not everyone who is excited about Inherent Vice or PT Anderson is also clueless to the filmographies of Antonioni or Truffaut or Tarkovsky.
Pop culture nerds aren't very bro-y
