The books are actually freaking amazing - some of the best YA out there. (this being an opinion, of course, but if I were you I would hold out some hope)

The Skateboard Dog

You got me. Your memory deserves an A+ for that

You can't give it an A+! The AV Club ratings only go up to an A!

It makes me sad that no one else has commented yet. This is a great show.

Hollywood has decide to milk a terrible idea? What a surprise!

You know, there is every possibility that the majority of extra characters in Star Wars (and every movie ever) could be gay. If you want gay characters in a movie simply because there aren't gay characters, then it just doesn't feel right.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the new one). Something about it just gets me, especially the second half, with some epic scenery shots, but also these quiet, thoughtful moments. It was beautiful.

It definitely isn't great now, but apparently it picks up really well after the first season (and some of the second I'm guessing)
