Worse than two holocausts, one-up that.

I might have my cock out but I'm not really rocking out.

I did. Oof indeed.

Look, we can sit here and assume it'll languish at #99 and point and laugh, but look how that turned out last time.

This is the year that I finally started watching any kind of Star Trek, beginning with The Next Generation. I'm not finished it yet but I'm definitely enjoying it. I don't know why I waited so long.

Yes, but making it another typical Bay movie and nothing more is a soft approach, in that it's falling back on the tried and true when really this could have been a much more interesting boondoggle.

Yeah, it does strike me as a strange subject to handle so softly. If you're not planning on saying anything with the film, why make it, when there's an infinite number of possibilities in a fictional story instead?

Unremarkable is a failing in and of itself; I mean, how does Michael Bay manage to make a film that's just "eh".

It felt wholly needless in a year that also saw Hush, which was, you know, good.

Honourable mentions: Dirty Grandpa, Kung Fu Panda 3, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Now You See Me 2, Don't Breathe, 13 Hours

Also, that definitely looks like Bumblebee’s arm on the bottom, which is presumably meant to suggest that the little guy is going to get killed by a purple-eyed Optimus

Oh shit, apparently I did watch a teevee series from this year. American Crime Story was good, folks. But I liked Murder One better.

"Thanks, Trump" just doesn't have the right cadence to it. How about "thanks, Donald"?

I didn't mean physically.

This makes some sense. I'm also assuming there was a degree of just not crossing the Atlantic too well.

Did Skid Row do anything major beyond "Youth Gone Wild"? I ask because I've heard of the band a jillion times more often than I've heard their music.

6/20. I've heard of six out of twenty of these artists. Am I old yet or do I need to lower that ratio?

I will never stop mistaking David's surname for "Miscarriage".

Now, I haven't seen Hannibal Rising, but Hopkins is the worst of the Lecters I've seen. His take practically screams pantomime and it's hard to swallow the urge to shout "oh no didn't/oh yes he did" whenever he shows up.

James was always the most astute of the Baldwin boys.
