Since it's the season for it, I'll put my own list out there. Shorter and to the point though. I saw almost none of the must see films, certainly listened to no must-listen albums, or played any of the video games I ought to have played this year, but I watched a lot of TV, bad and good, and there are programs that tell me what I've missed.
A short list of things I enjoyed too much this year, though they might be far older:
-Venture Bros.
-The Mabinoginion
-Mad Men
-30 Rock
-All Star Superman
-That Mitchell and Webb Look
-Plants vs. Zombies
-The Walking Dead
-Community
-Lady Gaga
-Nouvelle Vague
-2666, by Roberto Bolano
-Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace
-Listening to terrible pop music while driving
-Writing more and reading less
-Procrastinating

Wardrobe eats children

I skipped the chronicles of Narnia first time around. There was a BBC dramatisation I could've seen when I was twelve, but for some reason it just didn't appeal to me. I felt no compunction whatsoever to see the Disney flick of a couple of years ago. Thank god for Christmas, I finally got to see it and was thoroughly annoyed. I don't know what it is about British Child Actors, but they raise my hackles. I always used to laugh at the stereotypical British villains in American films, but I get the point now. There's something deeply sinister about the accent, if not used in historical context, funny or ironic. I had an honest to god nightmare after seeing this film, about British Children wanting 'ever so much' to play with me. And this is all before taking the fact that that Lion is supposed to be Jesus into account.
