My top 15 of the year: Milk Frost/Nixon The Wrestler Doubt Let The Right One In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Class Wall-E I've Loved You So Long The Dark Knight Revolutionary Road Waltz With Bashir The Reader Slumdog Millionaire Rachel Getting Married So, needless to say, I don't exactly agree with the Academy's choices.

Going to showing #2 at midnight. Saw it at a screening earlier today in the city. I've got showings 3 and 4 lineup up already (3 is with friends, 4 is at an IMAX).

If this is any shorter than 3 hours, they f*cked it up.

I don't know what was better: the movie, or the reaction of the people in the audience who thought this was a typical teen movie. A lot of disappointed faces walking out. Great.

Loved the last two, loved Unbreakable, Signs was pretty good, not a fan of Sixth Sense. Definitely looking forward to this.

Phil Lesh & Friends this Saturday. Very good chance Trey Anastasio will show up. It'll be my second time seeing Trey this year, even though he hasn't actually played a show Saw him guest with Dave Matthews Band as well this year.

I saw it 4 times in the first 2 weeks. Pretty sad. But anything Apatow has his name on, I will see. And Michael Cera has been a favorite of mine for awhile, along with any other Freaks & Geeks alum.

I saw Pirates as well. I was high out of my mind, though, so I can't give it a fair review. I'm sure it won't be as good the second time around.

Blades of Glory Pleasantly surprised with this one. After Anchorman came Talladega Nights, which was a big leap down. So I wasn't expecting much from this. But really, it wasn't half bad. I've found any role Nick Swardson takes, no matter how little screen-time he gets, he steals the scene. And he's no different in this, playing John Heder's creepy stalker. Great role for him As with other Ferrell movies, there's a number of great one-liners. As for the best scene, it's a tossup between the first pair-skate scene, or the "chase" scene between Ferrell and Arnett. From beginning to end, that could be the funniest chase scene ever. Overall, it's what you'd expect from a nearly-summer comedy. No brilliance, but enough laughs for your buck. 7/10.

Easily the best Todd line- "Wait, so he can call you Smelliot but I can't call you Vaginaface???" "Not the same thing, Todd!"

Who will be the next World President and VP?

I appreciate Funeral, but am meh towards NB.

Dave was good. It's funny that his three acting rolls so far haven't... well, haven't been the most intelligent of people (he was pretty backwoods-ish in Where the Red Fern Grows, and he was fairly slow in Because of Winn Dixie). He's got two movies coming out this summer, so it should be interesting.

I could vomit a better sitcom outline. Actually, a sitcom about vomiting could actually be better.

The ultimate thread kill- the goodbye. I'll see you all in a few months, probably.

Way too cold here.

I only put full albums on. I'll transfer my stats over, as top of my head isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Feb 3 2007, 01:15 PM) Those are great! When does that episode air? I forgot what you said. I'm not sure if we've gotten an exact week yet. The last I heard was March 13th. It should be around there.
