subtle__sarcasm: The Underrated of 2007.
ooh, it includes Angela Kinsey (The Office), C.S. Lee (Tang on Chuck), Jack McBrayer (THE BEST PAGE EVER on 30 Rock), Orbit (Digby on Pushing Daisies), and Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass)
music
Lots of good bands to play at Coachella.
Back on January 14, Spinner posted this music video: "Ready for the Floor" - Hot Chip. The song's just alright, but the video itself is really interesting. They've borrowed a bit of a colorful '60's look, and there's a Joker character with Two-Face split and Riddleresque shenanigans. This was released before Heath Ledger's death; I don't know if the Joker imagery has affected airings of the video.

Meanwhile, Sean Penn, Christian Bale, and Jake Gyllenhaal have offered to help finish Ledger's last film, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Johnny Depp has alread taken over the role, but this is nice.
Heath’s character falls into a magic mirror four times during the film. It allows Terry to change the actor easily if he wants to.
As for The Dark Knight, the advertising people have put a memorial on the main site, while slowly turning over the marketing focus to the Harvey Dent/Two Face character, played by Aaron Eckhart.
The Rotten Tomatoes Awards came out a few weeks ago. They added up all the critics' percentages and arranged the movies by release and by genre, which is nice.
Check out the winners of "best wide release": Zodiac, Enchanted, Gone Baby Gone, Knocked Up, Juno, Hairspray, Sicko, The Bourne Ultimatum, No Country for Old Men, Ratatouille.
Of those, I've only seen Zodiac, but I really want to watch Ratatouille.
Once topped the Limited Release category.
Dude, James McAvoy was in 3 of the 5 top Romance films. There was an interview with him in Parade, and he said that he and his wife together don't make enough money to live in London's West End or Chelsea. (They live in North London.) Sheesh, how much money does it take?
Back to Rotten Tomatoes. The movie I want to see most, out of all the genre films: The Host. It's a well-reviewed Korean movie about a sea monster. The visual effects were done by a small but respected San Francisco studio, and the film was released many months before Cloverfield.
Whether you liked, disliked, or vomited through Cloverfield, check out this parody: Watching Cloverfield. And in case you missed it, there was a nice little hidden surprise in the last shot. Also, there are spoiler macros.
we end with cute
Finally,padfootie is so right - Knut's baby sister Flocke does sound like a car with starting problems.
