Browsing through the television (read as gossip, celebrity drivel), I cam upon few good articles..
1. EW has posted a link HERE supporting 1984 as the greatest year in movies. The author says that in the year movies like Footloose, Romancing the stone, Friday the 13th -Final Chapter, Star Trek -3, Gods must be crazy, Revenge of the nerds, Nightmare on the Elm street, Dune, Beverly Hills Cop, and many more were released.
The author was lashing out against those who believe that 1939 (which gave us Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz) is a year for the movies.
I guess it is a personal choice, but I can see that 1984 will get a popular vote.
2. Similarly, HERE is a list by TV squad of the greatest year for television debuts. The race is tough between 1994 (ER, Friends) and 2004 (Lost, Veronica Mars, Entourage, House).
3. The top TV shows at TV.com HERE shows True Blood with the highest popular rating. TB is followed closely by Entourage, another HBO creation. HBO is doing pretty well and winning acclaim all around.
4. MUST READ: Reviews of New York and Kambakkht Ishq, courtesy Variety.
5. Is it too late to start reading comic books?Any ideas?

What the hell am I watching?
Status: Back from a long hiatus.
In the meantime, I have been watching:
1. The Wire : Exhilarating and thrilling to say the least. For more, read my new blog chroniclesofcriticism.blogspot.com
2. Fullmetal Alchemist: The story of two brothers in search of something that will make them human once again. I am watching this one rather slowly, because it is so good but has only 51 episodes.
3. Shoku-dan : Vampires are the next best thing this year and this one just adds enough taint, drama, guilt and sexual tension (with blood, of course) along with delectable figures to keep one hooked.
4. Dexter :Creepily and silently, we become part of Dexter's world. His world lies behind his air conditioner, trapped in a box, as drops of blood in slides. He is a serial killer, the one with a different agenda, but a killer nonetheless. More on him soon.
Note to self:
Update sooner!
