There should be a law that says that if a sport exists, there's a movie with a funny animal doing it.

 

can’t remember any movies with an animal playing water polo.

Nah son. I want a remake of that weird Mighty Ducks cartoon about hockey-playing ducks from another planet that fought reptilian aliens. I remember when I was a kid being so disappointed when I discovered the actual movie it was based on was just some dumb movie about Charlie Sheen's brother being a hockey coach to some bratty kids.

I think I rented the First Face Off Mighty Ducks video eight times as a kid, not even realizing there was a live-action film until a few years later when I saw it on TV. I remember I was very disappointed and confused at the time.

I'm actually shocked how Get Out is dominating lists as the best film of the year.  I mean I liked the film even more in my rewatch.  But I expected it to pop up at the end of a list or in a HM mostly

With a 99% on RT? It wasn't going to be ignored

Yep it Checks out.    

All those other films were directed by hacks. All in on the guy who directed other classics like License to Wed and He's Just Not That Into You.

Not has high on MC too, when you look that ranking:

vs 

 

http://www.metacritic.com/feature/film-critics-list-the-top-10-movies-of-2017

 

It is overperforming expectation big time.

 

84 Metascore is good, but around #40 of the year critical reception.... you need to go to a divisive Blade Runner at number 9 to find a lower metascore in the top of the year list.

 

Movie and Metascore		# 1st Place	# 2nd Place	# Other	Points
1	84 Get Out	34	17	147	288
2	94 Lady Bird	18	28	125.5	240
3	93 Call Me by Your Name	30	24	81	222
4	92 The Florida Project	23	12	106	202

  For the record, Follow That Bird's low-key iconic.

One of those is actually her in the crowd. The other isn't. You guess which one is her and which one isn't.
