Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I remember when AFI did their TOP 100 THRILLS list and 12 Angry Men made the list somewhere between T2 and Speed. And from a certain point of view, yeah, why not? If you're thrilled you're thrilled. 000
Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Now I see some people saying, "Well, what we need is a separate Horror/Thriller category" and yeah, sure, that'll do the trick. Nobody has ever argued about those genre boundaries. 100
Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Also, lumping Comedy in with Musical makes ZERO sense and we've all been fine with that forever so what are we even doing here? 100
Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The Content Overlords decided I'm supposed to get all riled up about category placement at awards show and, nope, not biting. Grouping films by genre is an inherently slippery endeavor that will inevitably lead to edge cases and overlap. Don't care. 100

Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The American Office had a beautiful run once it found its footing but it let the audience's affection seep in and compromise its central conceit. It went from the office is a place where you're forced to tolerate people you'd normally avoid to the office is a big family full of your best friends. 110
Michael Cusumano @michaelcusumano.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I have noticed it's become fashionable on such lists to rank the American Office higher, a nod to its immense popularity and an understandable desire to avoid Gervais, but it's not even close. 110
