Films

Sideways

Paul Giamatti was robbed. No Oscar nomination for him? The film hinged on his acting. Wonderful, nuanced performance.

DVDs

SCTV Vol. 2

I'm hooked, and I plan to get every volume they put out. It takes me back to when I was in 7th grade watching SCTV reruns on public TV. The Godfather and CCCP-1 both stand the test of time after almost 25 years.

Television
(The all-hating-on-Tucker Carlson special edition)

Countdown with
Keith Olbermann

The only smart show on MSNBC. I can imagine the legion of channel-flips when Tucker Carlson follows Countdown.

The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart

Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for deep-sixing Crossfire... while appearing on Crossfire. Alas, America's still hurting - which means Jon's job is safe.

Radio

I love the comedy channels. XM was a wonderful thing to have on my recent road trip.

You've probably heard it elsewhere, but Joey Ramone's gone. Lymphoma at age 49. Damn.

Saw this haiku on Salon – 17 syllables for the man who wrote so many 2-minute masterpieces:

First rule is: reduce!
Broken down: "1-2-3-4!"
As manifesto

— Bob Lee
