2008 in Film (or: I have too much time on my hands)

2008 was a busy year for movie watching. About 180 movies/tv seasons under my belt this year… and more to come for 2009.

Your Sarcasm Meter is Broken

Some people are just too dumb for their own good. Their sarcasm meters are apparently broken beyond repair, and that’s never a good thing when I’m around.
