Blah. The jerks. I always hate it when critics put movies that aren’t even out yet in their year-end lists.

I've been mentally putting together a top 10 movies of 2006 list, but I've only got 7-9 movies to put on there, and it really bothers me that a bunch of movies that are generating a lot of buzz aren't out in theaters yet (and will probably only be out in limited release when they are). I think that's why critics pick those movies -- because no one else can see them and challenge them on it. My list will probably end up being less pretentous, though it will have Brick in one of the top slots. In terms of music, I'll have to go with 10,000 days, as it was released this year and also probably took up the majority of my listening time since it's come out (moreso than any other album). Tool doesn't seem to get any cred from the music blog crowd, though (according to my exaustive search of about 1 blog that put up a top albums of the year post). I haven't read any graphic novels this year, and my regular novel reading has fallen off quite a bit as well. Strange. I'll give some props to Scalzi's Old Man's War (which came out last year) and Ghost Brigades (the sequel, which came out this year). Like Heinlein but more entertaining and less politically ranty (er, or something). Huh, yeah, I should probably do one of those year in review things myself.
