TV: "The Shield": Along with The Wire, one of the better exits for a TV show this year (if not ever). Among the highlights: one horrifying resolution to a main character's torment (probably the most bone-chilling scene of TV I've witnessed in a looong time), one betrayal, a couple of loose ends wrapped up, and corrupt cop Vic Mackey getting sent to his own personal purgatory. If that isn't vague, allow me to paraphrase an old quote: "God often punishes us by giving us exactly what we want."
"A Colbert Christmas": A Christmas special that doesn't make me want to drench myself in gasoline.
"24: Redemption": A nice primer for this January. And not many shows can claim to have the Midnight Cowboy, the Candyman, and Begbie from Trainspotting in one show.
MUSIC: The Killers, Day and Age: Enjoying this one so far.
Kanye West, 808s and Heartbreak: Too much Auto-Tune vocal mischief here, but not unlistenable.
DVD: "Hancock": Two movies that are unfortunately sandwiched into one, and unfortunately, both together don't work. A slight dissapointment, even with the image of a man's head up another man's ass.
