My take on everything and anything.

2008 almost over and what a year it was

Okay it is the 30th (or 31st if I'm to lazy to finish before midnight) of December and it's time to put the year under a microscope. Were gonna seperat the year into three sections; The Good, The Bad, and The Unexcpected.

PS: The ugly is being loped into the bad because of a lot of unexpected stuff has come up.

The GOOD

The movies of this year have been stupendous. The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Changeling, Frost/Nixon, and many others. This has easily been one of the best movie years in the past decade. The award season this year is gonna rule.

The music of this year has totally ruled. Chinese Democracy finally got released and it did not fail to impress. ACDC had Black Ice, Coldplay with Viva la Vida, Metallica with Death Magnetic. I was extremely impressed with the music situation in 2008.

Stephane Dion got canned. (nuff said)

Canadian Idol got taken off the air. (I hope for good)

The Conservatives did not get a majority in the election.

AND DRUM ROLL PLEASE
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA
The 44th president of the USA will be Barack Obama. The first african american president ever and hopefully he will be good enough to reverse the eight years of hell GWB put the country through.

THE BAD

The Stockmarkets crashed. Every country in the world has a plunging econemy and will still be in hell for at least a year.

Amy Whinehouse won five grammy awards.

Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, Sydney Pollack, and of course, Heath Ledger died.

ALthough there were some great movies this year there were also some real stinkers. Twilight, The Hottie and the Nottie, The Love Guru, Hanna Montana concert in 3-D, 10,000 BC, The House Bunny, Fools Gold, Meet the Spartans, and of course, Disaster Movie.

The Jonas brothers, Miley Cyrus, and many other diney stars are still popular.

Stephen Harper is still prime minister.

THE UNEXPECTED

Britney Spears rebounded. I can't believe it happened. I stillhate her but she still did it.

They actually came out with 5 different movie's that hit the top of IMDB bottom 100. Ive never seen that happen. 5 Movies in one year.

They succesfully remade Halloween. I know I just cant belive it was good.

Saw 5 was a decent movie. I thought they sunk the ship with 4 but they pulled it back out.

Joe Liberman is still a senator.

They announced a returning for Futurama (that would have been under the good it was just really unexpected)

I saw a movie from the "Movie series" that wasn't horrible. Superhero Movie is actually a watchable film.

P.S
If you have any other noteworthy events to be put on my list please leave a comment.

Why is it bad that Amy Winehouse won 5 grammies?? have you won five grammies?

Also, the dark knight was amazing, it really was, but sometimes i wonder if people felt compelled to like it?

Overall, good blog , keep it up
