It is over, the LA Olympics are happening, just give it up already.

For every pissed-off local like you, there’s probably several guys like me on the other side of the country who now gets to experience Elysian.
God damn it, I was going to tell you that you shouldn’t get paid to write about movies, then I read this and agreed completely, and now I have to head over to your twitter account...
You chose so very, very wrong.
Hey guys, swap out Phantom Menace for Office Space and this is a pretty good list!
Happy Endings is the “cancelled too soon” show that I will never understand the appeal. It was basically New Girl except half the main characters were unlikable and it had less fun recurring characters. It did get better in the third season, but I have no idea how it lasted that long in the first place.
I mean, it was a lightly watched show despite its cult following. People thought it might get cancelled before Season 2, then again before Season 3. I was more surprised it lasted 3 seasons than by the cancellation.
Conforto is a 26 year old former first round pick who is on pace to put up his 3rd consecutive 4-ish WAR season. MVP candidate? No. Franchise cornerstone? Yes.
Some of those aren’t technically no ‘99 releases, but Office Space’s omission is a crime against both movies and “best of” lists.
So Out of Sight is the 6th best movie of the 90s, while Silence of the Lambs isn’t one of the 50 best movies of the 90s. Got it...
Man, I hate this list almost as much as I liked your previous one. Agreed on Dances with Wolves and The English Patient, though the former has lost enough luster over the years to probably now be appropriately rated. But Unforgiven is fucking brilliant...
This is a good list, though I don’t agree that Godfather III is “good” so much as “better than its reputation.” I think you’re downplaying just how bad Sofia Coppola is in it...
Wag the Dog. That movie thinks it’s clever and insightful but I found it too silly/absurd to be effective political satire. It’s the movie version of that awful “One of Us” song by Joan Osborne.
Y’all have an awful lot of solid-to-good movies on this “most hated” list. It’s almost like a collective effort to renew your “anti-majoritarian hipster film geek” cards.
Of course A/V Club would put American Beauty and Life is Beautiful on this list. Those were popular/critically acclaimed movies that have become popular targets for The Cool Kids* to hate.
Back in the early ‘aughts you could get a can of PBR for $.75 at the Village Idiot. That was a good deal! Alas, I moved away from the general NYC area, and the Idiot closed years ago, and I haven’t had PBR since.
More than you think. Not all woman fit the “you cannot joke about serious subject matters” mold. In fact I dare say you’re the minority.
How dare you. TOM BRADY IS A GOOD BOY AND WOULD NEVER BITE HIS OWNER’S HAND!!!
I lasted longer than you but my interest died out when I finally got around to going to law school in 2007. Still follow WWE but rarely watch, I may need to put it back on my regular viewing schedule as well (it helps that there ain’t much on in the summer anyways).
