Not gonna quibble rankings but honestly confused how The National have four universally acclaimed albums in the 10's but not one of them made the list.

The fact that you mention Aziz hurts your cause...perhaps the single moment people tend to pinpoint where #metoo went to far. 

“Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby!”

Well I’m an idiot.

To criticize it for not being something other than that is unreasonable.

Mantzoukas showing up as a weird psychological abstraction? Derek

Good pick. I know the first sequel isn’t as good (or as scary), but the old cult leader Henry Kane singing “God is in his holy temple” as he casually strolls up to the family’s house—in broad daylight—was also creepy as hell when I was a kid. By the time he’s at the door asking about Carol Ann and demanding to be let

Just be on Switch’s side.

“You and he were mmmbuddies, weren’t you?”

I’m still chewing on this one: “Within a day, she amassed nearly 200,000 in a day.” 

Well, I hope you’re all satisfied. You bankrupted a bunch of naive movie folks—folks from a Hollywood where values are ... different. They weren’t thinking about the money. They just wanted to tell a dramatic, intimate, smaller story, a story about a cosmic space force, and you slick movie-reviewers took ‘em for

It’s possible to do both. My 4 year old saw 2001 at the cinema last year (a private showing as I work there - I wouldn’t have risked taking him to a public showing in case he disturbed others because I’m not a dick) and he loved it.

His jam with everlast fucking kills. Also, now I'ma listen to everlast. 

“We’re a bar, not a restaurant!”
“Then why is food served in your establishment?”
“...well, we’re not the one’s serving it! We have deals with vendors!”
“So what’s wrong with people buying from them but not you?”
“Well, they make all the money - duh!”
“Don’t your vendors pay you in exchange for allowing them to sell food?”

“Oh no. Promootheus.”

Are you kidding?   It’s in their byline

Right, we all know why he failed:  the cake had an American flag decoration, the visual pattern of which sends a command to the part of our brains which inhibits bowel movements.  It’s why Abraham Lincoln chose that design for our country’s flag.

This very sad news. I only recently watched all of Deadwood for the first time. It feels selfish to think “at least he got to finish the movie” but I am happy he got to do that.

Homophobic recognitions chiming in again because some gay-positive writer is under attack. How predictable.

I’m sure I’m alone in this, but I find Wil Wheaton to be fucking insufferable. Not trying to be edgy or whatever, but every time I’ve heard him on a podcast or something, he just annoys the shit out of me. YMMV.
