58: stimuli for November 21, 2008

TV: "The Shield": Still one episode to go in the series, and boy it still has me wondering what will happen. After one or two OMG moments this week, there was still my favorite moment of TV in a long time: corrupt cop Vic Mackey's confession of ALL his crimes (among them, the murder of a fellow cop). The sinker line (regarding the audio recorder during this confession): "How much memory does that thing got?"

"South Park": A spotty string of episodes ends with Goth kids, fake vampire kids (obviously a rip to those damned Twilight books), and the torching of a Hot Topic. Good times.

VIDEO: "Wall-E": One of the best animated movies I've seen in a long time. Slapstick comedy, a love story, and a sci-fi story all bunched into one solid film.

"Tropic Thunder": My favorite comedy this year (even if it is on the salty side). A nice poke at Hollywood, war movies, and actors (and god knows they deserve it).
