Any fellow Top Gear (pre-reboot) / Grand Tour fans out here? The Clarkson + Hammond + May trio is kinda legendary.

 

And anyone who hasn't heard of the show before, just take a look:

I used to be into Top Gear but I got over it. Watched half an episode of the new thing and sorta forgot it existed.

Nah, it'll be on the Top 25  

Maybe your personal Top 25.

 

But we all know the actual list will be all blockbusters and BP noms.

Man behind the Car Rental desk Honolulu airport asked us if we wanted to try "The Jurassic Experience". I said nothing.

You just helped me find my bedtime documentary. This looks decent.

And Dunkirk will likely top the list too. I don't see Mother really making the cut, maybe top 30, I'd be surprised if it did anyway.

I’m very eager to rewatch mother!, more so than any other movie this year. I rated it a 6 initially, but it has grown on me a lot.

Two episodes are directed by core Pixar helmer Andrew Stanton, taking another turn at live action after the overbashed John Carter.

We got almost 90 lists last year when the IMDB flood came in, don't think we will hit that mark this year, but with so many lists, a movie needs very broad support to make it onto the list.

Let's say something gets ten #1 votes and ten placements between 5-10 without any other appearances on lists. Would it make the Top 15?

I imagine a film has to at least appear in the top ten of a lot of lists, to make it onto the top 25 in general. Gotta have a lot of support / fans on here anyway.

Stranger Things 2 sounds really insufferable. Blah. This is going to be a fun weekend.

[DAJK]

FUCK YES MOTHERFUCKERS I'M NOT FLUNKING CALCULUS!

 

The marks for mid term came back today. He curved them, but the highest mark was a 90% from someone taking it a third time so marks didn't go up by too much, as the class average was a 48% even after the results were curved :/

 

BUT I STILL GOT 60% WHICH IS IN THE TOP 20% OF THE CLASS

[grim22]

This is interesting

Apparently the most popular Halloween costumes this year will be Wonder Woman and Pennywise. I'm shocked i tell you.

[AniNate]

Looks like the consensus from the Stranger Things reviews is Stanton's eps are some of the better ones. Good to hear.

If things like interstellar and TDKR topped the list, there's no way an actually good Nolan movie wont
