Americans often think that British people are just like them — after all, Brits speak the same language, used to be our colonial overlords, and also have a divisive leader with an awful blond haircut. As such, U.S. viewers may think that they’ll be able to just tune into RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. and totally understand what’s going on — and they would be as wrong as if they dared to show their index and middle fingers to say “two, please.

The holiday season is about giving, family, and major December studio-movie releases, in that order (unless you’re Jewish, in which case the order goes the other way around). This year, jolly old Saint James Cameron has delivered on all of those counts with Avatar: The Way of Water, a $250 million movie he made in between deep-sea-diving expeditions.

Approximately once a week, I think about a single scene from 1997’s Men in Black. Early in the film, we’re introduced to Vincent D’Onofrio as Edgar, an upstate New York farmer living in an Upside-Down version of the American Gothic house, who berates his long-suffering wife for screwing up dinner. He immediately gets his comeuppance when an alien cockroach crashes into his yard, yanks him into a hole, sucks out his entrails, pulls on his skin like a suit, and wears him around New York City.
