THE LEGO MOVIE GETS SNUBBED AGAIN: With the 2010s amazingly more than half-over, the AV Club is looking back on The Best 100 Films of the Decade (so far) and scattered among your those films that have been sitting on your Netflix queue since the Chilean miners were trapped (hard to dive into No. 1, The Master, when you can rewatch the Kimmy Schmidt), you'll also find some multiplex friendly flicks like The Avengers, Toy Story 3, and Inception.

READY! FOR! ACTION! This summer, in prime time, on ABC, it's the return of Celebrity Family Feud.  Sadly, unlike prior show v. show matchups, it'll be celebrities and their actual families, so we'll be denied the cast of Scandal playing the Feud, which, based on their tweets, could be utterly delightful.
DAMN. SHIT. THAT IS WACK:  They may be remaking She's All That.
