Ohhh, 2012.

Presumably, it’s not the end of the world as some Mayans once predicted, but at times, it sure felt pretty damn close. There are many pop culture bits we’ll treasure for years to come ― Magic Mike, Jennifer Lawrence becoming an A-list actress, the first half of the fifth season of Breaking Bad, the rise of Frank Ocean ― but some, we suspect, will not age so well.

Provided December doesn’t abruptly end in an apocalypse, we know that in a decade or two we’ll look back and cringe, cringe, cringe at a number of this year’s headlines. Unless ― we choose to forget. Collectively, we have the power to erase all the many many smudges on 2012 and pretend it was a happy golden year full of wonderful music, brilliant television, superb cinema, frolicking unicorns, and stars who always acted at their most gracious and composed.

So let’s do it! Let’s bid pop culture's bad bits goodbye! Here are the Top 30 things we (and the celebrities who wrought it all) will pretend never happened in 2012.

It’s the scandal of the century!

Not Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s affair ― that was last century, of course ― but Lindsay Lohan cast as Liz in the Lifetime TV movie Liz & Dick. The way people are chattering about it, you’d think it would be the highest-rated airing of the year. It’s the most-talked about TV movie Lifetime has had since… ever?

Unfortunately, the buzz is not good ― and as much as we’d love a triumphant comeback story for Lilo here, the movie earns every bit of criticism that’s been lobbed at it. In fact… there’s almost nothing that is good in it.

Liz & Dick should be shown in film schools as an example of how not to make a movie. And although we could probably make a list of 100 things that went wrong with the movie, we’ll keep it simple and just use the unlucky number 13 to sum up our complaints.

November 25^th is getting closer and closer so you know what that means, right? The much-talked about Lifetime film Liz & Dick – a.k.a. Lindsay Lohan’s “comeback” role – will be hitting our TV screens.

We’ve seen the promo pictures, we’ve seen some behind-the-scenes interviews, and now we’ve got a new 15 second clip for your enjoyment.
