Well, I tried my best to put out my annual "Best and Worst" list on time this year, but its obvious I failed miserably. I'll blame it on a combination of being very busy during the final weeks of December, very busy during the month of January, *and* the problematic fact that I have had a hard time thinking of entries for the Best and Worst song categories.
But, I don't want wait until May (like last year) before offering up some unasked for opinions, so here we go.
2008. Was. The Best. Year. EVER!
BEST MOVIE- "Wall-E"
BEST MOVIE BASED OFF A COMIC BOOK- "The Dark Knight"
BEST SONG- "15 Step" by Radiohead (technically came out in 2007, but the Grammy's recognize it as a 2008 release, so I will too)
BEST TV SHOW, DRAMA- "LOST" (was there any doubt?)
BEST TV SHOW, COMEDY- "Saturday Night Live"
BEST SHORT FILM- "Zombie Hunters"
BEST MOVIE TRAILER- "Watchmen"
BEST SNL DIGITAL SHORT- "J**z in My Pants"
BEST CONCERT- Radiohead at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
BEST BOOK THAT TOOK ME OVER A YEAR TO FINISH- "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
BEST SPORTING EVENT- UNC men's basketball beats Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium (sorry for your senior night, DeMarcus Nelson)
BEST MUSTACHE- The Cap'n Hook
BEST CEREAL- Cocoa Krispies
BEST PRESIDENT- President-elect Obama
BEST DOG- Australian Shepherd (I miss you, Buddy)
And now, for the dreaded WORST...
WORST MOVIE I DIDN'T SEE- "Disaster Movie"
WORST SONG I DIDN'T LISTEN TO- "Bartender" by Rehab (a stretch... did Nickelback release anything this year?)
WORST TV CHANNEL- MTV (its a travesty what you've become)
WORST TV SHOW- *Anything* on MTV
WORST SHORT FILM- "Treevenge", which stole my idea
WORST MOVIE TRAILER- "Disaster Movie"
WORST DECISION BY A MOVIE STUDIO- Warner Brothers postponing the release date of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" by 8 months
WORST SPORTING EVENT- UNC loses to Kansas (very badly) in the Final Four
WORST MUSTACHE- The Hitler
WORST PRESIDENT- President Bush
WORST ECONOMIC MELTDOWN- Ours
See you in 2009 (hopefully not 2010), assuming blogger.com doesn't go out of business!
