Although I might catch “Children of Men” before the year’s up, I think the top 10 list is locked up for 2006. I’ll take a stab at what the 2007 list will look like.
1. The Fountain
2. Stardust
3. Stranger Than Fiction
4. Pan’s Labyrinth
5. Dusk Watch
6. Hot Fuzz
7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
8. Transformers
9. 300
10. Spider-Man 3
I’m sure there will be some surprises in there, foreign and indy films that show up via Netflix.
Today I received a spam entitled “Decomposable Blot.”
That’s awesome.
1. Battlestar Galactica
2. Farscape
3. Heroes
4. Torchwood
5. Death Note
6. Studio 60
7. Lost
I feel like I’ve just had a spiritual experience where information was communicated to me at a root level, data I have only begun to process. It’s as though Aronofsky understood my wordless inner dialogues and somehow translated them into cinematic language. The Fountain is a wonderful piece of art that is too beautiful to be called a film.
Outside the theater everything seemed quiet and desaturated. I moved through the supermarket, ghostlike, wanting to have a conversation with anyone at all or just sit down in the middle of the produce section and cry because some part of my spirit that doesn’t know English was trying to tell me something.
1. The Fountain
2. Brick
3. Inside Man
4. Day Watch
5. Night Watch
6. Howl’s Moving Castle
7. The Departed
8. Crash
9. Uzumaki
10. Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny
Tenacious D is a glorious rock opera, oozing with comedic genius. Its awesomeness was evident within about 5 seconds when Meatloaf appeared as young JB’s father. The film then proceeded to rule.

I made this comic for all of my friends, as a gift. I started to write words under the panels, but realized I didn’t need to say anything else.
