AudioShocker Shoutouts!
Movie - As much as many critics slammed Skyline, I'll have to firmly state that I liked it. It was simple, silly, and the there-has-to-be-a-sequel-ending separated me from the critics. However, although I haven't seen Paranormal Activity 2 and Cop Out, the buzz during their releases sounded comparatively to flies on shit. Inception wins hands down.
Comic - I dug the Punisher Franken Castle story line and loved Batwoman/Detective Comics by J. H. Williams.
TV - Walking Mutha Effin Dead
Music - I'd have to say the Beatles catalog! Big whoop de doo that iTunes now has them. I've had them for close to a decade now. Since my auditory flavor of music drastically differs in genre from the Audio Shocker and its listeners, my nomination for the latest Front Line Assembly - Improvised Electronic Device, will sway no none but me.
Books - Even though Brett Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and William Gibson released new books this year, I can properly nominate them sine I read only paperbacks that come out about year later. Blah.
Tea - Arizona Raspberry Iced Tea makes my pee smell not like raspberries.
nice noms, B!
for real this time:
MOVIES - Machete, Dinner for Schmucks, Death at a Funeral (American remake)
COMICS - Shadoweyes, Doomwar, X-Men: Curse of the Mutants - Storm and Gambit #1

good call on Our Valued Customers!!! Justique and I haven't watched the Suzimiya sequel yet... how was it compared to the first season?
@nick: I enjoyed the movie a lot. I'd say it's on par with the first season. It may depend on how much you like Yuki. She's my favorite character from the series so I was lovin it. It's also longer than you might expect, so there's a lot there if you're diggin it.
Justique and I have been trying to wait for the DVD to watch it... but it's taking so damn long!!!
