this week's LOTW

is a list of TV Show Spin-Offs That Sucked. i agree with some shows on this list. there are quite a few, though, that i have never even heard of. i guess they really were bombs.

i'm one of those 'list' people

this week's link of the week is blender's list of famous firsts in music. a sample:

1965: First Recorded Rap Song: “RAP DIRTY” by Blowfly
1967: First Rock Album with Printed Lyrics: SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
1970: First Rock Star to Choke on His Own Vomit: Jimi Hendrix
1982: First Rock Album Released on CD: 52ND STREET by Billy Joel
1990: First Rap Song to Reach No. 1 on the Pop Charts: “ICE ICE BABY” by Vanilla Ice*

while browsing the lists, i found this one, too: 10 Songs You Were Probably Conceived To. there's some good music on this list.

* how sad.

While it's true that modern Australia was founded by British criminals, all of them were only guilty of jaywalking. To this day there are no crosswalks in Australia.

movies meme

the LOTW [over there] is a list of movies ebert says you must see so that you know what people are talking about. not a list of the best, but those everyone must see. i saw that other people made a meme of it and i thought i would play along. however, due to the fact that i have seen so few of these, instead of bolding the ones i'd seen, i thought it would be a shorter list if i just listed those i'd seen.

"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) Stanley Kubrick
"Alien" (1979) Ridley Scott
"Bambi" (1942) Disney

i want to point out

this week's link of the week is spoiled movies . but movies are just one category, spoileverything.com has 'spoiled' tv shows, video games, etc. the tv ones are good, for instance, the seinfeld one and the golden girls one.
