I'm thinking Bradley was on to something.

So where's your list?

I cannot be bothered to do it. I have enough on my plate maintaining a 2017 list, then a 2017 top ten, then a 2017 home video list, then a 2017 cinema list. At some point I just have to say "enough with the lists", and this thread it the least meaningful list out of them all.

I disagree - I find the relationship between the taste of individual KJer's and corporate reviewers revealing.

That is because your whole schtick is to go against the grain, so knowing what the critics/masses think is paramount to you. I couldn't give a shit. The most important thing for me is what I think of the films I have seen, and how I rank them.

How noble of you.

FTR, Algren's historical average Metacritic scores:

2016: 58.8
2015: 70.8
2014: 69.4
2013: 66.6
2012: 56.9

Since you have time on your hands, do this year's too!

6-10 probably won’t wind up on my final Top 10 list.

I got Free Fire on my list to see for a long time already.

Hey tree and a half, for someone that loves to play "games" in these threads so much, why don't you ever participate in some of the actual games on this site?
Actually I've asked you before to join a RT picker game, which you didn't reply to, so I guess I'm not expecting an answer now either.

I'm not disciplined enough for the regular games - I'm mostly here to review movies.

Alrighty, fair enough.

Ok, now I have time..
