50 Best Movies of the Decade: Part One

By Lisa Fary – I never feel the need to rank the best movies of a year, but after a chunk of time like a decade, it feels like necessary housekeeping. Look back, determine what was awesome and what was awful, box it up, label it, and turn around to face the next decade. This list was a surprise even to me. I started writing down the expected titles, only to find myself left cold, thinking, “That was a great spectacle, but. . . ” or “Yeah, it was good, but it wasn’t one of the best.” So, here is part one of the list, numbers 50 -26.

Is Joss Whedon Really a Hack?

By Lisa Fary – I gave up on Dollhouse early in the second season after faithfully watching for it’s entire flawed first season. I want to be impressed; I don’t like hating on stuff. But, Dollhouse is so. . . meh. However, I picked it back up now that’s it’s almost over and am still not terribly impressed. (“Not impressed” is an understatement – I was holding my head muttering, “Get the camera off Echo and Helo! Put it on someone else!”) It’s enough to make me question my faith in Joss Whedon.

The Decade’s Best Television

I’m kind of wigged out that it’s even time to do a “best of the decade” list. 2010? Really? Arthur C. Clarke said we’d have spaceships by now. Anyway, here is my personal take on the best of the Naughts. Or Oughts. Or whatever the hell we’re calling the first 10 years of the 21st century, in no particular order.

Fight Fest:Kicking Ass On Stage Never Looked So Good

by Jenn Kim – MAN I love me some good fighting. I love watching it, I love participating in it, and I love instigating it. No, I kid, I kid, I’m actually a pacifist at heart. (Sort of.) But choreographed fighting and martial arts? It’s so hot right now! Choreographed fighting and martial arts on a stage? Um, geekyfightgasms to ensue for all.

Stephen King’s Name on SyFy

By Lisa Fary – SyFy is excited to order a new Stephen King series that has nothing to do with anything written by Stephen King. An imaginary representative said, “Taking a story, stripping away it’s recognizable elements and slapping Stephen King’s name on the resulting piece of **** is a long standing tradition in film and television. SyFy is proud to not only continue it, but to raise the bar by distributing it globally.”

Robots!

By Lisa Fary – There’s nothing I love quite like a robot. Except maybe cheesecake. And Hugh Laurie. Oh, and dresses that twirl. But still, robots are pretty cool just because modern robots are the jumping off point to all of my sci-fi, lunar living, jet pack wearing dreams. Yes, I’d still like to live in a lunar colony even though it would be disturbingly similar to camping.

I Forgot to Be Thankful

By Lisa Fary – Now that Thanksgiving is over, I finally figured out what I’m thankful for. Everything sucks so much right now that it was a struggle to come up with something. You know, besides the obvious things like having a job and all my teeth, being in decent health, all the Pink Raygun writers, my family, blah, blah, blah. I feel like naming those things is kind of a cop out, like saying “the day my kid was born” in the inevitable “best day of your life” conversation (mine continues to be the day I rode an elephant at the San Diego Zoo).

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon Inflation

Inflating Bloggers’ Hearts Since 2009 – By Jenn Kim – This year, for the first time in balloon history, Macy’s (in coordination with NBC), invited a group of awesome bloggers for a private tour of the inflation site. One of the best things about the tour was being on the inside of the police barricades whilst all of the throngs of people, many of whom were children, were forced to stand behind them. It kept me warm during the cold drizzle and rain.

5 Dishes You Don’t Want to See on Your Thanksgiving Table

By Lisa Fary – Nothing says “Thanksgiving” like gnawing on a piece of turkey jerky fresh from the oven while insisting, “Oh, no! It’s not dry at all!” to your anxious sister-in-law. The green bean casserole with Funyuns? A crunchy bit of heaven! And that slice of jellied cranberry “sauce”? Crantastic!
