Vivian Kubrick's Twitter occasionally gets… truther-y, so this doesn't surprise me.

Strong points, but I dunno, I usually think of backlash in terms of critics/film industry people, and Moonlight's not like The Revenant and Birdman, where the critical consensus was kind of mixed right out of the gate, so the backlash was more understandable.

So which of the Oscar hopefuls is going to get the biggest backlash this year? I'm guessing Jackie or La La Land. Moonlight seems an obvious contender, but hell, I don't think I've read even a negative tweet about it.

Aside from having the Sin City 2 problem (what once was fresh and innovative is rendered cliché by its imitators), the "surely a sequel will work without anyone who made the original!" problem, and the years-later-sequel problem (they almost always suck, unless they're Fury Road), I have a weird complaint with the…

Terrifying western + Guy Pearce and no mention of The Proposition? For shame.

Will we be getting new collections for all the HGTV/Food Network shows? I NEED MY HOUSE HUNTERS BACKGROUND NOISE AND VICARIOUS HATRED! YOU KIDS GOT ANY CUTTHROAT KITCHEN? *taps vein*

I think the difference is that they probably went into those videos knowing that there would be cleavage and midriffs, and here it seems like they got to set with an idea of how it would go, and then the photographer starts shouting "show us your tits!"

One of the ironies of Bruno Mars is that he's both another cog in the music industry's desperate attempt to create another Michael Jackson, and one of the only current male pop superstars with an immediately distinguishable voice and style.

This is me. It's a clockwork impulse - "boyfriend's out of town, better stock up on Evol burritos and jalapeno poppers."

Yeah, as weird as the movie's second life on the internet has been, it's not nearly as weird as the movie itself.

This is only tangentially related to this movie (which I can't wait to see, because I loved A Single Man), but I've noticed that a lot of the Oscar hopefuls released so far this year are under, or just over, two hours. This, Moonlight, Loving, Arrival, Birth of a Nation, Billy Lynn… Manchester by the Sea is the…

This sounds a lot like Zodiac, so what song is going to bookend it, Hurdy Gurdy Man-style? What will be its creepy basement scene equivalent? Can they get Dermot Mulroney to be the douchey, by-the-book cop again?

Can you even imagine what a 2016 Paul Verhoeven Hollywood studio film would look like?

Idris got robbed again, but I'll take it over Human Douche Adam Levine and David Beckham In 2015 Hey People 2003 Called They Want Their Sexiest Man Alive Back.

Move over, Red Violin and War Horse!

Hologram Paul Newman in a Marvel movie. It's the only reason the goddamn kids know who Robert Redford is!

VERY glad Insecure made the cut, as there wasn't much of a question on the other two. Insecure also has the benefit of a premise that could carry for a long time - I can't imagine Westworld or Divorce making it more than 5 seasons without serious stretching.

"I don't want any more BULLSHIT, at any time during the day. From anyone. And that includes me."

He looks EXACTLY like the kind of person who, upon meeting James Woods, would ask him nothing but Videodrome questions.

A great Ebert journal entry on elevation:
