Previous Black List movies released this year: The Founder, Hell or High Water, Arrival, Manchester by the Sea, Sea of Trees, Miss Sloane, A Monster Calls, Money Monster, Jane Got A Gun, Morgan, The Accountant.

I think it's partially that, and partially that everyone's in such a feeding frenzy to connect every piece of art released to Trump - this almost reads like Iger saying, "please, I just want to read one review that doesn't mention him or turn into the Breitbart comments section."

I saw Nocturnal Animals and really liked it.

What kind of asshole parent names their child Mac McDonald? It's like those commercials they had a couple years ago with third or fourth generation kids named Ronald McDonald.

I can't see that tweet, but didn't the last installment not have Fast in the title? Please disregard if said tweet is a joke I'm missing, and please be vitriolic to AVClub writers for not doing basic research if I didn't miss anything.

I think this is his third comeback attempt (after Brooklyn's Finest and The Player). Something tells me it will go just as well.

That was my take on Sausage Party when friends asked: I didn't really enjoy it or laugh that much, but it's one of the only mainstream releases I saw this year that offered surprises all the way to the end.

Yup, this might have supplanted Ebert's review of Half Past Dead as my favorite "major critic trashes a Seagal movie" review.

I said a couple days ago that casting these two as romantic partners is a mistake, because their screen chemistry is "lifelong friends" or "brother and sister."

I haven't seen a ton of movies this year, and the two worst I can think of were more "I don't hate it so much as I don't care." Those were BvS and Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates. They unfolded on screen, nothing happened, and I forgot them by the time I made it to the parking lot.

Everyone knows the best way to ruin a holiday party, music-wise, is to say "hey, doesn't it kinda sound like Brenda Lee is saying 'later we'll have some fuckin' pie?' "

Or, in Unbroken's case, "why does the closing credit scrawl describe what sounds like a way more interesting movie than the one we just watched?"

A good rule of thumb is to look at the Wiki, see if there's a "historical accuracy" section, and see how nitpicky that section gets. The more nitpicky, the more accurate. A good example is Apollo 13 - since they had transcripts of basically everything everyone said, the affronts to accuracy are things like "Kathleen…

Putting them in a romance is a fundamental mistake, because their screen chemistry is "lifelong friends" or "brother and sister."

Every year has a designated Christmas Bomb, and something tells me this is going to be it for 2016.

I don't give a shit about any of the Housewives/MTV/VH1 shows, but I watched KUWTK toward the beginning, and I will say that in the first couple of seasons, there was at least a slight air of truth and relatability there. Like, there was still plenty of manufactured drama and first-world problems, but there were still…
