Yeah Gladiator, thought it was a bit unjust to call it one of the Worst 10, but ever ever more so to name it the Number 3 Best Movie of the 00s.
Children of Men, I've only seen it once too, and I'm with you on trying again since it's getting so fav…
Right, "Worst Top 10 Movies list" instead of "Top 10 Worst Movies list"--sorry for the confusing syntax. Looking at all these top movies of the decade lists really makes me want to see Children of Men again, since lots of people are including it. I…
Oh, you mean worst 'Top 10 Movies of the Decade' list. I concur completely. Reading this dumb list reminds me of the time when I was a kid and one of the radio stations was holding a listener-based 'Top Songs of the Year' contest. I voted and revote…
- Crazy red-band trailer for Kick-Ass featuring Hit Girl, a sassy 11 year-old with guns.
- Bryan Singer is coming back to X-Men to do a prequel, about the young Magneto and Xavier. About time!
- Mom called 911 to get her son to stop playing Grand Theft Auto. Officer took it all in stride: "by no means is it surprising, especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games."
- First no-fee ATMs, now free wi-fi? McDonald's is becoming as much a part of my life as it was in 7th grade.
- Worst Top 10 Movies of the Decade list: Entertainment Weekly's. It has Gladiator on it.
- Henry Hill, the subject of Goodfellas: "I've been on every drug humanly possible, and I can't get a handle on alcohol. Maybe it's inherited. But I'm the only one in my family that has this."
Carpetbagger points out that 526 votes could decide this year's Best Picture. 19 votes can get you a Best Costume nomination.
- Best book of the next decade: R. Kelly's autobiography, due out in 2011
- Unlimited data plan on AT&T is about to become limited. Also, they still have "major problems" with the network in NYC and SF. Tell me why I want an iPhone, again?
- Bad love: Hot for teacher! Two (young, pretty) Brooklyn high school teachers caught fooling around during student assembly. Students are going nuts.
- Here's a bad idea: The Oscars producer asking his Twitter followers what they want to see. They want High School Musical and So You Think You Can Dance?
- TSA accidentally releases screening procedures. Whoops! Shows who gets through security unscreened. Also, if you're from Algeria you get searched, if you're from Saudi Arabia you don't.
- I went out to Williamsburg to see a new documentary, Wesley Willis's Joy Rides, last night. The movie guys never showed, but you can watch the doc on Pitchfork this week only.
- Supreme Court rules to keep military detainee abuse photos secret. Sotomayor was one of the NY judges who ruled for release last year, so she couldn't vote this time.
- J.D. Salinger on why he'll never sell the rights to Catcher in the Rye: "Holden Caulfield himself is essentially unactable." Hm, maybe. I would cast Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and he would be terrible.
- 13 year-old kid with Asperger's ran away from home and rode the subway for 11 days. "He was prepared, he said, to remain in the subway system forever."
- United Homeless Organization is a fraud, according to AG. There are plenty of real homelessness orgs you can give to, like Common Ground and Bowery Residents' Committee
- My favorite Facebook bust: Woman's sick-leave benefits for depression get cut off when insurer sees pictures of her at a Chippendales show and on vacation
- After 34 years on NPR, Cark Kasell leaving Morning Edition! He's still doing Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
- Post: Subway riders sealed in murder car. MTA locked the subway doors for 5 minutes after passengers told the conductor a guy in there had just stabbed someone.
- My favorite new TV show: Jason Lee as a Memphis cop who moonlights as an Elvis impersonator, called Delta Blues.
- Cop suspended for Tasering a 10 year-old girl. Because he didn't turn on the Taser's video camera. Bonus: her mom called the cops because the girl wouldn't take a shower
- Shortlist for Best Documentary Oscar is out. Food, Inc. and Beaches of Agnes made it, Anvil! and Tyson didn't, surprisingly.
Everything I heard about Anvil! sounds so awesome. It's out on DVD.

Mom called 911 to get her son to stop playing Grand Theft Auto. Officer was unfazed: "by no means is it surprising, especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games."

Def Leppard won't sell their back catalog on iTunes, but they are making a cartoon about themselves. I'm not sure who they think their audience is.
