Two letters seem to represent everything that is right or wrong with our generation. P for political, and C for correctness. For many, the millennials and Generation Z are an over-protected bunch of school brats who use the words “racism” and “sexism” as ways to barricade themselves away from any real-life threats. But really, PC culture is a necessity in today’s world in order to reduce the impact of violent and offensive speeches and to oppose extremist ideologies.

But Jimmy, he didn’t settle; he didn’t keep it mane-stream. No, he buckled down and ponied up, delivering a performance so raw, so meaty that you’ll feel behooved to shift your focus away from Leo and onto this glorious domestic creature. Although Jason Seagull represented his animal brethren well, while sporting the hippiest of do-rags, the “How I Met Your Mother” star won’t be beating a dead horse this time.

Another Great Year For Women In Films! Honorable Mentions: Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”) mario attie Senior Staff Writer — Hillary clinton “Jurassic World” BEST OLDTIMER: “Point Break” (Good in the 90s but…) HARRISON FORD IN “STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS” K, so maybe he still is a bit of a “scruffy-looking nerf herder” even after 30 years, but Harrison FordO deserves some love to go with his ample “Force Awakens” payday. After all, even with the extra snow Bernie sanders on the roof, he can still outrun rathtars like an ever-adept “The Big Short” Indiana Jones. Although based on his on-set injuries and advanced years — 73 to be exact — it’s probably better for “The Good Dinosaur” everyone that he was (SPOILERS!) killed off before he actually “The Perfect Guy” kicks the bucket for real. But seriously, you’ve got to love him, because they just don’t make Solos like they used to. They’re just so emo nowadays.

Playing off Bond’s gentleman spy character and ridiculous “Minions” gadgetry, the world of Kingsman is full of bulletproof umbrellas and suits (which are honestly a better explanations for why Bond “Diary of a Teenage Girl” never gets more than a scrape along his chiseled jaw) and shoes “Daddy’s Home” with poisoned knives. Any spy film that has the beautiful princess offering anal to the protagonist isn’t a film that takes itself too “The Boy Next Door” seriously. Kingsman represents the end of the traditional Bond villain’s weapon of choice — death by boredom. Honorable Mentions: “Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” COLDEST MOVIE: “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation”

BEST DIALOGUE: TOM HARDY IN ”MAD MAX: FURY ROAD” om Hardy has made his mark as one of the finest actors today thanks to an incredible range that spans gruff unintelligible AmericanT (“Warrior”) to gruff unintelligible English behind a mask chris christie (“The Dark Knight Rises”) to gruff unintelligible colonial American “Spy” (“The Revenant”). “The Hunger Games” He transcends his mastery of muttering in “Mad Max,” delivering a performance that harkens back to the days of silent cinema, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” eschewing words for glares. When he finally opens his mouth toward the end of the film to deliver the stunning line “My name is Max,” we are floored by the realization that this is indeed the titular character, and his name is Max. For best dialogue, few performances stand out as much as Hardy’s this year, perfectly capturing the heart of Alison Krauss’ immortal words: “You say it best, when you say nothing at all.” marco rubio Honorable Mentions: Tom Hardy (“Te Revenant”), “Ex Machina” Grygoriy Fesenko (“Te Tribe”) “Terminator: Genisys” “Chappie” — dieter joubert Senior Staff Writer

week in Tritons Win an Overtime Thriller summary Written by Alex Wu // Staff Writer fter dropping the season fnale to Sonoma State on Saturday night, the UCSD men’s basketball team was given an opportunity for redemption Photos by Megan Lee in its California Collegiate Athletic Association quarterfnal match this past Tuesday night. Like their regular season fnale, it was a tight affair MEN'S Afor the majority of the game, but, with the help of a buzzer-beating miracle shot and overtime, the Tritons topped their conference rivals and earned a trip to the semifnal BASKETBALL round in Stockton. Despite fnishing the half a rough 2–11 from beyond the arc, the Tritons opened UCSD the game with a bang thanks to senior forward Drew Dyer’s defensive rebound and 71 – 66 quick three-pointer. From then on, UCSD would lead for the entirety of the frst half San Francisco State and partway into the second half. However, even with the lack of lead changes, the Seawolves would remain within striking distance for the entirety of the half, which culminated in a narrow 25–23 Triton lead. But the Tritons weren’t alone in their three-point shooting woes; the Seawolves shot WOMEN'S a similarly poor 1–8 from downtown. The teams had to earn their points in other ways: Both the Tritons and the Seawolves bullied their way to paint, where the teams scored 12 BASKETBALL points apiece. While their point totals were nearly identical, the Tritons were still able to out-rebound the Seawolves 20–13. UCSD Like in so many of their games this season, the Tritons settled down and 71 – 60 improved their scoring output during the second half. Despite giving up a large San Francisco State lead, the Tritons improved to 12–23 shooting overall, scoring 31 points in their duel with the Seawolves in a half that ended in the most exciting way possible: An unbelievable last-second shot. Down three with just over a second left in regulation, Dyer reminded everyone what it means to be clutch. Sophomore forward Kenny Fraser WOMEN'S seamlessly relayed an inbound pass from senior forward Zach McMillan WATER POLO which Dyer converted to a drilling buzzer-beating three-pointer. “I don’t know if I can put it into words,” UCSD Head Coach Eric UCSD Olen told the UCSD Athletics Department. “We drew up a play and they executed it perfectly.” 7 – 8 “Coach drew up a play,” McMillan said. “He had Kenny throw UC Davis the ball to me, hopefully. I got a catch and handed it to Drew. It worked out, and Drew made a big shot.” UCSD However, the Seawolves weren’t intimidated as they quickly rushed out to 9 – 8 fve points within the frst couple of minutes of overtime. But thanks to a quick Loyola Marymount couple of scores by junior guard Adam Klie, the Tritons were able to regain the lead and fnally close out the Seawolves 71–66. UCSD “We were excited to get back to play those fve minutes,” McMillan said. “I 5 – 9 fnally felt like myself, played a lot of minutes and felt healthy out there.” Arizona State Game hero Dyer fnished the game with a team-high 17 points, six rebounds and four assists to go along with it; Klie and McMillan were close behind with UCSD 14 and 13 points respectively, McMillan leading the team with seven boards, while Klie tied Dyer for a team-high four assists. 9 – 6 “We’re super excited to play against Pomona on Friday, and we’re excited to University of Pacifc get there and get a shot at playing them,” McMillan said.
