The Good: I don't have to keep telling you how great The Wire is/was, and likewise you probably already know that Mad Men is just about the best thing on television right now. When it comes to movies I watched a lot of 70s classics and most hold up well. Among my best "discoveries" were Don't Look Now and The Shout (from which the image above was taken). The Triplets of Belleville is among the very best animated movies of recent years, and Fyra nyanser av brunt is probably the best Swedish film since... I don't know, Fucking Åmål? (Or... How good was Sånger från andra våningen? I can't remember.) Oh, and There Will Be Blood reigns supreme.

The Bad: The Tomie films were massive disappointments (stick with the manga). Futureworld was, as I said, seriously dumb. GoldenEye, too. But they all pale next too Orson Welles' (not really) Don Quixote - the suckiest fucking movie ever (and I love Orson Welles).

The Ugly: You.
