53: stimuli for October 13, 2008

DVD: "Forgetting Sarah Marshall": Sunny vacation spot, a puppet musical, a wince-inducing break up, and frontal male nudity? Sign me up! (long pause to rethink previous statement) Um, not so much for the male nudity, but the rest is OK.
"Iron Man": I had an idea to run around in a metallic super suit with lasers coming out of it...until some rich sicko did it first. One of the better comic book films ever made.
"L.A. Confidential": Just rewatching one of my favorite films ever. I saw this in theaters when it first came out, and its still a personal favorite.
TV: "South Park": Indiana Jones being raped, offensive Chinese stereotypes, and men being shot in the mommy/daddy button. Well, I can say I didn't expect to see ALL of that in a half-hour before now.
MUSIC: Lewis Black, "Anticpiation": Angry rambling brought to comic brilliance.
Nickelback, "Gotta Be Somebody": Peppy, and sure to irritate me six months from now, when it's played to death on the radio and everywhere else.
