I have seen many movies and TV shows this year, many of which I have greatly enjoyed. Some I have not enjoyed, and most are somewhere in the middle.
I have also done some cool personal things which are of note.
Here are my lists of those things for 2008.
Firstly the movies.
These are the ones I liked, the ones I thought were acceptable, and the ones I haven't yet seen but certainly plan to, with the expectation that they'll be fun. I have not listed the bad movies, because I tend to weed them out before I watch them. I have a pretty good radar for that sort of thing.
COOL MOVIES:
The Dark Knight
Wall-E
The Spiderwick Chronicles
Prince Caspian
Kung Fu Panda
The Incredible Hulk
Get Smart
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
AVERAGE MOVIES:
Iron Man
Horton Hears A Who
Nim's Island
Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
Wanted
Hancock
NOT YET SEEN MOVIES:
Valkyrie
The Tale of Despereaux

Transporter 3
Bolt
Quantum Of Solace
City Of Ember
Igor
Death Race
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Speed Racer
The Forbidden Kingdom

Next are the TV Shows.
As well as the shows that debuted this year, I have also watched a whole bunch of shows from previous years that I missed at that time, having discovered the magic of downloading them, while also experiencing the crap of premature cancellation of some great stuff. And of course, seeing more of my favourites.
COOL TV SHOWS:
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Chuck
Reaper
Pushing Daisies
The Mentalist
Burn Notice
Eureka
Kyle XY
Lark Rise To Candleford

OLDER TV SHOWS I LOVE:

Monk
Numb3rs
Doctor Who
Battlestar Galactica

+++
And then there's my personal stuff.
I've done some things this year that are new and I've not done before, and some other things that I have done before but were the best ever so far.

Well you certainly have done a lot in 2008 - and more to the point - you have enjoyed it.
You have seen a TV show 'Lark Rise to Candleford' - I was told to read the book and have put it off - but find that the Trilogy is in the library today, so will venture in and pick it up. It will give me something to read over the holidays.
Thanx for the incentive to actually do something today.
Have a magnificent productive 2009.
