I think responses like that are exactly why they changed it. If you look at what Cassian is doing from his own perspective—knowing only what he knows, and having the goals he has—assassinating Galen makes perfect sense and is totally defensible. Galen is the architect of the DEATH STAR, a weapon that can and will be…

Also would've accepted Tatiana Maslany or Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

I really liked it, and loved it in parts, but I feel like it was clearly artistically compromised by the reshoots. This is speculation, and I could be wrong, but I feel pretty damn confident that, in the original cut, *SPOILER ALERT* Cassian actually does assassinate Galen, with minimal hesitation. His casual murders…

Best case scenario, this is a bad show. Worst case scenario, it is a genuinely good show that is unfairly maligned and mocked right out of the great for being hapharzardly stapled to an obnoxiously trendy, topical title, such that no one will admit to watching it until it's too late.

I found that gripe so strange. "Person" is a broader and more inclusive category! Being the most important person of a year is necessarily a bigger honor than being the most important man of the year, because being Man of the Year allows for the possibility of a more significant woman!

Tiny Tim is the worst special snowflake crybully!

That Mel Brooks set is a ludicrously good deal. Due to the exclusion of The Producers, it can't be considered comprehensive, but thanks to the exclusion of Life Stinks and Dracula: Dead and Loving It, it's entirely composed of movies that are actually worth owning!

Can anyone explain to me, as someone who has an only passing familiarity with the games, what would make a faithful cinematic adaptation of the games anything more than a generic adventure movie? What unique qualities does this franchise bring to the table? What story is dying to be told?

(And to preempt the question of why I love Kanye and not Trump, in case it comes up—Kanye produces art of tremendous value. Trump produces nothing of value. Kanye seems to have respectful and mutually beneficial relationships with collaborators and loved ones. Trump is ceaselessly predatory and exploitative. And most…

I love Kanye and loathe Trump, but I have to admit they are strikingly similar in some ways. Both delusional, pathologically thin-skinned, ideologically and intellectually incoherent, sexist, unheathily fixated on gaudy displays of wealth, generally mindbogglingly stupid yet seemingly possessed of a savant-level…

Have Hollywood's PR gurus done extensive focus testing that has determined that it is never to a celebrity's advantage to ACTUALLY apologize for something? That the fake apology is a better career move? It's ubiquity is maddening and confusing.

Ditto for Jonah Hill.

I think Lawrence's repeated casual disrespect for various marginalized groups is genuinely shitty, but damn, person who said "it doesn't get more white and evil than Jennifer Lawrence," were you in a coma for all of 2016 that you just woke up from now??

I hope these movies actually do usher in a change in how teen movies are done. The entire genre of teen movies has been living under the yoke of the John Hughes model for too long.

That's the director of Fright Night (1985) to you!

I don't really know what they can do here. The 1986 movie, especially the director's cut, nailed it.

One year from now today, let's all return to the comments section for this article and laugh together at our collective naivete for believing 2016 was as bad as things could get, rather than the last year many of us will ever remember in which "hope" still felt remotely reasonable.

COUNTERPOINT: I can't fucking afford vinyl.

I love people who try to debate the gravity of moral atrocities on the basis of semantics!

This sounds so convenient and terrifying!
