apocalypsosJust finished watching Arrested Development, which I hardly ever get to watch because I always forget when it's on. *dies laughing* Oh, God, do my cheeks hurt from giggling. I seriously need to get season one on DVD.
I also caught a few minutes of the final Survivor, and now I remember why I don't watch anymore. Aside from the fact that it's the same backstabbing tricks, different season, I usually get sick of the really pretentious island-type bits right about the time that the final three have to take that stupid walk through the wilderness with the poles featuring the names of those kicked off before them like a wildlife trail/fake graveyard. You know, it'd be one thing if it were Lost or something and it was, "This is where we buried Charlie/Shannon/Sayid/Danielle/Jin/whichever character we killed off in the name of plot addiction." It's not like they bludgeoned the ejectees to death every week and buried them along the nature trail, although I think I'd watch that every week as long as there was CGI and some wild boars involved.
Also, the AFI picked their top ten for TV and movies of 2004.
Top Ten Movies
-- Spider-Man 2
-- The Incredibles
-- Million Dollar Baby
-- The Aviator
-- Collateral
-- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-- Sideways
-- Friday Night Lights
-- Maria Full Of Grace
-- Kinsey
Top Ten TV Shows
-- Deadwood
-- The Sopranos
-- Something the Lord Made
-- Curb Your Enthusiasm
-- Desperate Housewives
-- Lost
-- Arrested Development
-- South Park
-- Nip/Tuck
-- The Shield
Can I just say, I love those lists? Aside from the movies I haven't seen and the HBO shows I've missed, I'd have picked nearly all of those. :)

Completely unrepentant. "Yes."
Those are things that have never been put on screen.
