Let's take it down to threes.


Best movies of the '00s:
1. Mulholland Drive
2. Ghost World
3. Titus

(Caveats: I have seen very few movies of the '00s and I like AI more than you do.)


Best songs of the '00s:
1. Crazy
2. Just Dance
3. On a Boat

(Caveats: I have heard next to no music of the '00s and have terrible taste in music.)


Best television shows of the '00s:

1. Futurama
2. Lost
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm

(Caveats: I don't watch many shows and the Futurama movies are awful.)


Best books of the '00s:

1. Endless Things
2. Sunset Limited
3. The Beauty of the Husband

(Caveat: Those are a large proportion of the '00s books I've even read.)


Best moments of the '00s:

3. That morning.
2. That day.
1. That time.

I liked it. Dialog was strong (the dialog was probably the only thing that made The Road worth reading IMHO) and I thought Black made a very sympathetic, convincing character. I thought White wasn't really developed or as believable as he could have been, but it was still great to read.

Funny, [livejournal.com profile] andalus was telling me about a day ago the exact opposite, that the dialogue was the liability in The Road.

I think the dialogue in The Road is perfect. But, then, I spend more time every day speaking with children under age 8 than I do talking to adults.

PS - we're going to see the movie tonight.

Did s/he think it was done badly or just shouldn't have been done at all?

It said it was inferior to the dialogue in Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses & The Crossing.
