Good riddance, 2013! Should old cronuts be forgot, and never twerked to mind. With the changing of the calendar, we bid a long-overdue farewell to the silly things that chewed up our so much of our mental bandwidth last year, and say hello to a whole new set of obsessions. So let’s send Miley and her tongue packing, along with Carlos Danger and his selfish selfies, and open our arms to a world of a Jimmy Fallon-hosted “Tonight Show,” increasingly obscure Marvel movies and the impending sun-obscuring pop culture cloud that is the filming of the new “Star Wars” trilogy.
