Following up on my favorite music of 2004, here are a few quick lists of the other random things that occupied my time last year. Figured I'd post this before '04 is more than a month behind us....
Favorites in film... The also-appreciated... The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Spider-Man 2, The Bourne Supremacy, Hellboy, Saved!, Fahrenheit 9/11, Robot Stories, Team America: World Police, Criminal, Shaun of the Dead, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Napoleon Dynamite, and Undertow. The letdowns... Donnie Darko: Director's Cut (echo = yes, inxs = nononono), Silver City (was no Lone Star), Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow (lotsa flash, zero substance), Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman (sooo sleeeepy). The flat-out terrible... The Butterfly Effect, Troy, Stepford Wives, Wickah Pahk, Troy, Starsky & Hutch, Open Water, and Troy. (thank the prophets they were all free) also saw a couple great plays last year... Pullman's His Dark Materials and Mamet's Oleanna in London Favorites in comics... Favorite hardcover collection... The first five years of James Kochalka's American Elf Favorite daily webcomic... surprise, it's American Elf Favorite minicomic... Kochalka / Thompson: "Conversations #1" Favorites in print... Looking forward to in '05... Rucka's 2nd Queen & Country novel, George RR Martin's "A Feast For Crows" (Jul. 26), the first Warren Ellis novel. Favorite video games...
Favorites on TV... Biggest gift... Farscape returns briefly Biggest tease... Enterprise flirts with goodness Biggest disappointment... the assimilation & dumbing down of The Screen Savers Biggest bummer... the undeserved end of Angel ![]() |
