Seeing Phoenix was really special for me because it was the first time I ever drove out to an unknown theater on my own and on top of that I was doing it to see a foreign film. There was a bunch of old people in my theater. All of this was new to me. The movie was really great though. The cinematography was…

1. Inherent Vice
2. Under the Skin
3. Whiplash
4. The Babadook
5. Boyhood
6. The Grand Budapest Hotel
7. Ida
8. The Double
9. Nightcrawler
10. The Guest
Honorable Mentions: Locke, Night Moves, Coherence

I thought it was Jude Law.

I feel like people are lambasting the UFO scene for all the wrong reasons. The response seems to be Whaaaaat? This is poppycock. UFOs are nonsensical like Santa Clause or Mary Poppins or leprechauns with little green hats. Can someone please inform Noah Hawley that UFOs aren't real? Leave the UFOs for silly make…

I think these two new ones were it.

Inherent Vice is insanely rewatchable to me because it's essentially a hangout movie. I started out thinking of it as lower tier PT Anderson but it very quickly made its way to my #2 spot as well (behind The Master). You can very easily get lost in that world with those characters. And there's such a strong sense of…

Please keep watching The Leftovers. I hated the first two episodes. Now I'm in love with the show. Season 2 is really a major turnaround and genuinely feels like event television in the way that Breaking Bad and Mad Men did.

First Kingsman, now this? Hollywood needs to stop ripping off Decker.

No. That'd be like Star Wars: Episode 8 from the director and writer of Brick. I think you may be living inside of an A.V. Club bubble.

The Master gets a multiple lifetime pass. I'll forgive his children of any future wrongdoing for gracing us with The Master.

I'm confused. Are trade regulations kid-friendly now?

Ugh, I hated Mr. Meaty. I certainly don't think it was anywhere as good as the first 3 seasons of Spongebob.

Yup. The Master is still amazing.

But I remember seeing that exact trailer… on the AV Club.

Remember that episode where Emma shows her breasts at some sports drink sponsored pep rally? That sounds so ridiculous. Did I dream that?

I just can't turn my logic cap off for this trailer. The whole time I'm just going A SLOTH WOULD NOT BE IN THAT LINE OF WORK!

I want to make sweet love to this episode.

Most affecting scene since the processing scene in The Master.

This one is definitely on par with Mr. Show. I just wish Jill Talley had gotten a little more to do throughout the 4 episodes.

Tomorrowland recently had one of the worst examples of the "Chosen One" trope I've seen.
