Are there any other sportsball fans on Tildes who would like to talk about them?
AP-affiliated sportswriters are selected from around the country in order to create an unbiased group of voters. A certain number of writers are chosen from each state with a top-level football team, and states with more teams get more voters (but it isn't one-to-one). This year, there are a total of 69 voters. Each voter ranks their top 25 teams each week, and the overall rankings are created using a Borda count.
Rankings inside a spoilerbox because they take a lot of vertical space

It's not quite a match, but it has shades of Obsession (1945).

Perryapsis Link ParentThanks! Hopefully I can catch up quickly and still see it in theaters. Given its box office numbers, it should have a decently long run.Thanks! Hopefully I can catch up quickly and still see it in theaters. Given its box office numbers, it should have a decently long run.

The Odyssey (2026) ★★☆
Black Panther (2018) ★★☆
Airplane (1980) ★☆☆
I keep striking out on classic comedies :/ I read more after watching, and it seems like there are a ton of background jokes that I didn't even notice.
Lost in Translation (2003) ★☆☆
I liked Rental Family (2025) better. I have the same issue with this as I do with Brief Encounter (1945): this could be a really good movie if the main characters weren't already married to other people.
Disclosure Day (2026) ★★☆
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) ★☆☆
Boogie Nights (1997) ★☆☆
Movie 43 (2013) ★☆☆
Admittedly I was only interested in this movie because of its poor reputation. So now my morbid curiosity has been satisfied, but yikes, this was just as bad as advertised.

Given Tenet's reputation (though I haven't seen that yet), that made me brace for the worst early on. Most of it wasn't so bad, but there were a few more trouble lines throughout the movie. It made me glad that I already knew the basic story beats.

Comment on Google must pay record €4.1 billion fine, top EU court rules in ~tech
Perryapsis Link... ...The European Commission initially imposed a €4.3 billion penalty in 2018, accusing Google of abusing its Android system's market dominance by requiring phone makers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome.
...
The latest case is one of several antitrust disputes between Google and the EU, which fined the company more than €8 billion between 2017 and 2019 over antitrust violations.
...
Among the other EU sanctions Google is facing for exploiting its market dominance are:
- €2.95 billion fine handed down in September 2025 for favoring its own advertising services
- €2.4 billion competition fine for promoting its own shopping services

The General has a couple of his famous stunts. It's also interesting to think about how it's loosely based on a real story that would have still been just barely in living memory at the time it was made. I only had Three Ages because it was a 2-pack with The General from Kino Lorber, but I'm glad it was.
I watched Vertigo with my parents, and all three of us ended with a feeling of "huh?" It would take spoilers to go into detail, but I was disappointed because of the film's reputation.
I also watched Red October with my parents. It's my dad's favorite movie ever, so part of my high score is probably the experience of watching it with him. He likes thrillers with a slow burn and not a ton of action. I didn't notice any issues with Sean Connery's performance, but I'm no acting expert either. What issues did you have with it?
Neither of Pressure nor KPop are amazing, but it sounds like I enjoyed them at least a bit more than you. I was mostly interested in KPop after its Oscar wins and probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise.

Spoilers
It falls into the trap of making the antagonist too unpredictable/crazy. There's a difference between a thriller where you're wondering what will happen next and a movie where you stop caring because they may as well be rolling dice. And then when they do want to foreshadow something, they have to hit you over the head with it so that you don't dismiss a hint as just the character being eccentric. And a crazy character doesn't really develop after they turn crazy; they stay crazy instead of having an arc.
I felt like a couple of the jump scares interrupted actually interesting scenes. Especially the one at night in the car; it felt like a rug pull of something that could have been an actual plot development. It makes me think about the Hitchcock quote about a bomb under the table. If you show the audience the threat at the beginning, you get five minutes of thrill instead of three seconds of shock.
The humor didn't land for me either, e.g. the billion dollars and Nikki's embarrassing monologue at the party.
And then it generally has a downer ending. I know that they're more common in horror movies, but it still usually isn't to my taste.

Long list
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005): ★☆☆
I've really struck out on comedies lately.
Pressure (2026): ★★☆
Spider Man Homecoming (2017): ★☆☆
Even the abbreviation for this movie is "SMH". /s
Seriously though, it wasn't terrible, and I'm torn between one and two stars. I'm leaning more toward one just because this is a part of my Marvel catch-up, so there's an opportunity cost of watching something else.
Toy Story 4 (2019): ★★☆
The General (1926): ★★☆
Three Ages (1923): ★★★
Vertigo (1958): ★☆☆
Darkest Hour (2017): ★★☆
The Hunt For Red October (1990): ★★★
Drive Away Dolls (2024): ★☆☆
I was looking for something short, and this was less than an hour and a half. Bad decision.
Obsession (2025): ★☆☆
KPop Demon Hunters (2025): ★★☆
Ponyo (2008): ★★★

I'm pretty sure I accidentally turned into the "bonus content" door accidentally and never properly finished the game.
The last things I remember are:
The bottomless pit that isn't quite bottomless and The Stanley Parable 2 tradeshow-like area.
Criterion traditionally runs a half-off sale at Barnes and Noble during the month of November. This must be their headliner release for the sale.
