Ding Dong... You're Wrong Presents: 2004 In Review

MOVIES I SAW THIS YEAR by jane

  • Before Sunset
  • Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • Fahrenheit 9/11
  • Finding Neverland
  • Garden State
  • The Incredibles
  • In Good Company
  • The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
  • Miracle
  • The Motorcycle Diaries
  • Napoleon Dynamite
  • Primer
  • Ray
  • Sideways
  • Starsky & Hutch
  • Tarnation

A light load, this is. Many were good, a few were great. The best thing I saw screened all year was a Jim Henson commercials and experimental films retrospective at BAM. That didn't count. I'm not sure what lands at #1, but, sadly, Wes Anderson easily crashed in the bottom half.


So tell me, what did I miss out on this year?



GREATEST DISCOVERIES
(In most cases, things that were there all along. Isn't that always the way?)

James St. James
Sir, where have you been all my life? Oh, in NYC and then L.A.? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I am now

"Rescue Me"
I DVR'ed the first six or seven episodes of this, fully expecting to play one, hate it and erase them all. Wrong again. While I'll die happy if I never see Denis Leary fake doing it ever again (Alright, we get it!), this show was wildly entertaining, and wasn't at all the love letter to oh-so-perfect firemen that I'd feared. Compelling stuff.

DVR
I'd die without you.

"Life As We Know It"
OK, so I read the book it's based on, Doing It and it just confirmed for me that this show is something from another world. All of the things I hate about plot, this show hops right over. People have a misunderstanding? It's settled in minutes. Someone has a secret? Not anymore. The book doesn't follow this path of genius, so I have to give credit to the series. I think it was sent just for me, but feel free to enjoy it yourselves.

R Bar
Free comedy, cheap drinks and a man who appears to be Joel Plaskett's pretty-gay-comedian younger brother behind the bar with his equally delightful boyfriend, right under the BQE. Think of all the time we've wasted!

Seth Meyers
You were in front of me the whole time. How much love did I secretly give DJ Jonathan Feinstein? Why did it take another bad episode of Pranksters to make me finally admit it? I'll never know.
