An addendum to the movie thing
Apparently, it's EW's top 100 movies of the past 25 years. And as I perused Zishan's list, it occurred to me: How the heck is The Shawshank Redemption not on this list? I mean really. It's #2 on IMDB's top movie list, and it's an amazing piece of work even absent that. If the South Park movie makes it, how does this one not?

Because they're Entertainment Weekly, and they're a gibbering pack of morons.

I suspect it's because so-and-so magazine's "Top So-and-So's Of All Time" lists are made by a half dozen staffers and interns, and they just include whatever they can think of. It probably just escaped their minds.

Those lists aren't about which is actually the best; it's about putting together a provocative and magazine-selling cross-section. Popcorn journalism at its finest.
