Seven things that are always, unfailingly, 100% guaranteed to piss Bob off.

BOB FINGERMAN, New York NY
1. Holding the door open to a succession of impolite douchebags, none of which take the nanosecond to say, “thank you.” It always brings on my Tourette's-like "Irish whispering," where I mutter audibly under my breath contemptuous comments like “Am I your fucking doorman?” or “You’re welcome, your highness.” Especially when they’re college kids. Take a break from your formal lessons to learn some fucking manners, you privileged dickholes.
2. Articles about Peanuts that misspell its creator’s name. How fucking hard is it to get Schulz right, assholes? Schultz, indeed. I bet you’d never get Jim Davis’s name wrong. Grrr.
3. Beginning to do something and then forgetting what it was right as I’m about to do it. Come on, brain, whose side are you on? Jerk! (File under: thing I was about to say; thing I was about to look up online)
4. Any and all computer woes. I can’t reason with machines, and of all machines, computers are the most unreasonable. I have switched from PC to Mac, so finally, occasional hiccup aside, it’s been much smoother. But fuck Windows. Fuck it right in its mean virtual asshole!
5. Gravity overdoses. When I get a serial case of “the dropsies” and things keep hitting the deck. Why is it inanimate objects think falling on the ground is so goldarned funny? Grow up, inanimate objects!
6. When rich people of any race cry the blues or play the victim card. You’re rich; suck it up!
7. Smug religious people who think they’ve got all the answers because in their feeble capacity they do! God is responsible for everything so why question anything? Or learn anything? Ever.

DAVID CALAMONERI, Hoboken NJ
1. The same machine in every polling place across the nation.

3. The same policy on early voting nation wide.

Top Seven Reasons to Vote for Barack Obama for President:

DAVID CALAMONERI, Hoboken NJ
1. Intelligence
2. Non-reactionary, thought out responses to crises and questions as they arise.
3. The first, and only current hope for any kind of change in our government.
4. His ability to gather experts, listen to multiple sides of an issue, and come to a well rational, reasoned solution.
5. Joe Biden (governing more than speaking)
6. His ability to inspire America's youth to participate in the political process.
7. So I don't turn into some crazed radical Abbie Hoffman type or have a nervous breakdown.

John's 2007 Sevens

JOHN HANLON, Brooklyn NY
7 Good Things I Saw In A Movie Theater In 2007
1. The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward
Robert Ford

2. Brand Upon The Brain! (Guy Maddin’s latest, performed with a sound effects crew, a small orchestra and a guest narrator. The night I attended it was Crispin Glover.)
3. No Country For Old Men
4. Out 1 (Jacques Rivette’s legendary 12 hour film about acting, conspiracies, love affairs, the death of the 60’s, and silliness as a way of life. I never thought I would get to see it, and now that I have, I want to see it again.)
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark – The Adaptation
6. The Swing Dance Sequence in Hellzapoppin!
(Most of the movie is self-referential Marx Brothers/Tex Avery-style anarchy. Then one of the most astonishing dance sequences I’ve ever unreels, and time seemed to stop as I experience something truly transcendent.)
7. What Is It?
(Crispin Glover’s first film. Unlike most experimental films, it’s never boring though it is incomprehensible.)













(I’m not sure what it means that every movie choice this year – apart from What Is It? – is either from, or concerned with, the past. Guess I’m getting old.)

7 Good Things Outside A Movie Theater in 2007
1. Battlestar Galactica
(It’s as good as everyone says.)
2. Endless Things by John Crowley
(Final volume in a series that’s among the best things I’ve ever read. In the previous books, Crowley wrote himself into a corner and in this one, he nimbly writes himself out, without it seeming like a cop-out or disappointment.)
3. Peter Evans Quartet
4. The Sopranos
(Obviously the end of the last episode, but the entire season was great.)
5. The “Tab” episode of The Sarah Silverman Show
(It’s as if I couldn’t laugh hard enough to express how funny this was.)
6. “Videotape” by Radiohead
(These lines, sung by Thom Yorke in that soaring voice of his, get me every time: “No matter what happens now/ I won't be afraid / Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.”
7. White Chalk by PJ Harvey

Pops' TG7 of 2007

POPS GUSTAV, Hoboken NJ
7 THINGS THAT I DID ENJOY IN 2007
1) NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Best film I saw in ’07, no contest, Friend-o.
2) THE SOPRANOS. Especially the cut to black. Genius.
3) the Shins, WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY. Maybe the only album I loved start to finish all year?
4) Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Dozens of visits, Hundreds of margaritas, tens of All Chopped Ups. Yum.
5) Pickle Licker. Nothing made me laugh harder or longer or more times in ’07 (for better or worse).
6) THE SPIRIT by Darwyn Cooke. Simultaneously updating and respecting Eisner’s legacy.
7) JOURNEYMAN. I’da watched it even if my friend Gretchen weren’t one of the stars. It’ll be missed.













7 THINGS THAT DROVE ME BATTY IN 2007

1) God. As in, a fantasy that is the most powerful force in our politics and culture right now. The mind boggles.
2) The administration. The cowards in Congress. The candidates. I grieve for our future. But it’s our fault, now, isn’t it?
3) Rewarding Stupidity. Chris “Leave Britney Alone!” Crocker and that stupid Miss Teen Whatever USAmericans idiot and Sanjaya… they deserve to fade away after the laughing stops, not development deals and guest spots on TV shows.
4) The Writer’s Strike. Hey, greedy multinational corporations making money off the internet: It’s simple: PAY THE CREATORS FOR THE PRODUCT FROM WHICH YOU PROFIT.
5) Judd Apatow. An overrated one-note hack whose sporadically funny output is a mask for a truly reprehensible conservative proselytizing.
6) the American Health Care Industry. An oxymoron if ever there was one. They do not care.
7) My chronic lack of focus and drive.


Miss Tanya's Seven Favorite Things in '07

TANYA MANCINI, Hoboken NJ
In no particular order-
1. The Pickle Licker Girl from The Soup.
This clip which originated on Supernanny never failed to make me laugh while played incessantly on The Soup this year. Sometimes wrong is right.
2. Band of Horses: Cease to Begin
This too-short album has been on repeat in my iPod since it was released in November. Country fried shoegazing.
3. Mad Men
I was worried this gem of a 1960s ad agency show would be overlooked, and worse, cancelled. I was wrong. Great storylines that leave me wanting more, amazing attention to detail and fantastic clothes. It's just about perfect. Don Draper, you're the dreamiest.
4. La Vie En Rose
Edith Piaf bioflick. Tortured, depressing and ultimately, if you're a fan you know how this story ends. It's a tad melodramatic, but Marion Cotilliard's performance is simply spectacular.
5. Scrabulous
I am old. I play Scrabble with my friends on the internet. It is awesome.
6. Love Is a Mixtape by Rob Sheffield
I don't usually like books by rock journalists, I'm not a big Klosterman fan. But Sheffields memoir of losing his wife to a pulmonary embolism at 31, was a tale told through speakers and headsets. For romantics and music fans - one and the same, right?
7. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
How had I not fucking read this before? I was up until 4am finishing this, and then up until 6am all creeped out.
