The RT 20 breaks down the 20 things this week in film and pop culture that made us sit up a little taller in our chairs, wake up from our stupor and in some cases pop open the champagne. This is not a countdown list or rated list ... just 20 quick random things we liked seeing or thought about this week. Use the comments tab below to talk about what's piqued your interest this week.

#20: Spielberg on movie magic
"A movie is experiential. A movie happens in a way that has always been cathartic, the personal, human catharsis of an audience in holy communion with an experience up on the screen. That's why I'm in the middle of this magic, and I always will be."

--Steven Spielberg in an Entertainment Weekly interview.

Ummm...you mention G.I. Joe's Scarlett in the article's subtitle, but she's nowhere to be found on the list. Just an "honorable mention" or did I miss something?

I know I'm in love with her this week, but that's me.

I'm sorry to say, but this whole list seems to have very little thought put into it. Some words on each item would be a nice feature.

What the hell is Megan Good doing signing on to the new Saw? Find something else, anything else.

I gotta agree-

While I appreciate the notion that we're all supposed to draw our own conclusions, some kind of commentary might've made this list look less like an eigth-grader's homework assignment.

Haha, Tombstone's comment. I agree completely. At least have a pic with each one. I see RT even stole the list logo from Ben 10, talk about eighth-grader's shoddy work, sheesh.
