The Year in Movies . . .

I had a lot of time on my hands this year to watch flicks. Thanks to oneclickmovies.com its easier than ever to see stuff. Really great year for movies. Only one outright classic but about ten great movies and a slew of really good ones.

My Top 20 Movies of 2009:
1. Un Prophete / A Prophet
2. Anvil: The Story of Avil
3. Adventureland
4. The Hurt Locker
5 An Education
6. Funny People
7. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
8. A Serious Man
9. Big Fan

20. 500 Days of Summer

Honorable Mention: Moon, Zombieland, Drag Me to Hell Paranormal Activity, Mystery Team, Up, Inglourious Basterds, Land of the Lost, Lymelife, The White Ribbon, The Invention of Lying (The romantic back half of the film keeps this from being a classic along the works of movies like Groundhog Day)

Notable movies I haven’t seen: 35 Shots of Rum, The Road, Black Dynamite, Afterschool, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Informant, and Brothers.

Biggest Disappointment: Avatar, District 9

Awards:
Best Actor: Tahar Rahim, Un Prophete; Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
Best Actress: Anna Faris, Observe and Report and the chick in An Education
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds and Alfred Molina, An Education
Best Supporting Actress: the older lady from In the Loop and the younger chick from Up in the Air
Best Director: Jacques Audiard, Un Prophete; Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker

Best Picture, Foreign Film, and Documentary are self-explanatory from my list.

Thank You, Local News!

And now, the news in reviews...

Your dreams make me sad Cheryl Hintze
Soccer moms are taking to the parking lots to celebrate the opening of a new Target in Sun Prairie. Little do they know, there are already 3 Targets in Madison.

Our very own NBC15.com investigates:

Target Stores are bucking the bad economy and opening new locations across the country including bringing nearly 200 jobs to the Madison area.

Taking a cue from Badger Saturdays, a group of Sun Prairie mothers are partying in anticipation. It is a big day at the new Target in Sun Prairie but long before this very average store opening hits, the parking lot is playing host to a quite unique party. It is the furthest you can get from a men's tailgate party. No beer guzzling or burping here, this one is women only.

...

It is a tent and table that have seen a lot of tailgating action for things like Badger Games but never has a group pulled out all the stops like this for a department store. Kostelnik says, "I was handing out the flyer and people were laughing at me so yeah, I think they thought we were crazy." Close to two dozen women flow in and out, many of them stay at home moms just waiting for the doors to open.

Tailgater Cheryl Hintze says, "I'm so excited. To have shopping within two miles of my home is a dream."

...

At a party like this how could you not? When all is said and done the Sun Prairie store will employee 180 people.

Apparently not Northrax?

For Buskus:

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A New Jersey factory that makes fenugreek seeds was the source of the mystery syrupy smell that wafted from time to time over New York City.

"Given the evidence, I think it's safe to say that the Great Maple Syrup Mystery has finally been solved," said Mayor Bloomberg. "I want to thank the City's environmental protection and emergency workers, as well as their colleagues in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, for their diligence in finding the source of the smell, which was a lot like finding a needle in a haystack. Air samples taken by DEP have confirmed that the odor in New York City was an ester associated with fenugreek seed processing. The Health Department confirmed that the odor does not pose a health risk, but I am pleased to know that our OEM and DEP smelling sleuths got to the bottom of this mystery." The International Frutarom Corporation factory in North Bergen was tracked down to be the source.

The city Department of Environmental Protection dispatched a team of inspectors earlier this month after the city's 311 system was deluged with calls from New Yorkers reporting the mysterious scent drifting through parts of upper Manhattan and Queens.

In 2005, hundreds of people in New York and across the river in New Jersey reported the strangely seductive odor.


At the time, Bloomberg said a slew of agencies - the NYPD, the Office of Emergency Management and the Health Department - investigated the scent and found nothing toxic or links to terrorism.

WoW Lingo

A few things right off the bat:
When she asks for help he asks for Death Knights?
He says "pwn-zor"???
And I refuse to believe that guy is ranked top ten in anything. What a total complete chad.

Emma Watson: I'd Go Naked

directly related to the video below, I "stumbled" upon this article today during my daily google search of
Hermione+womanhood+wizard-boobs.

"I'm at a strange age... I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl any more."
