Lists I've liked lately: movies, toys, geeks and moreI keep coming across lists I can't really improve on, so I'm just going to list them. In a list. Of lists. (A few of these are via Pop Candy, which is always a good source for lists and, well, just about everything else.) 1. 10 Star Wars toys that unintentionally look like other celebrities When I was a kid, I often complained that my Princess Leia action figure just wasn't made right — it kept toppling over. And it annoyed me that her gun was so flimsy and useless, especially compared to Chewbacca's giant over-the-arm weapon. But at least the '70s toy version of Leia didn't look like Christian Bale:
And then there's Mon Mothma and Laura Bush:
The list includes other frighteningly spot-on comparisons, like Han Solo/Josh Brolin and Yak Face/Robert De Niro. EW.com readers recently named the films they'd like to add to the National Film Registry. I agree with Raising Arizona and The Women — and with the reader who submitted the latter and said, "I can't believe it's not already there."
3. 20 pop-cultural obsessions even geekier than Monty Python From Rocky Horror to Joss Whedon to fanfic ... is this "geeky," or "gay"? Whatever it is, it's a great read.
4. The top-earning women in music This is a fact-based list instead of a "best of" list, but it's interesting and includes pretty pictures. Madonna and Barbra take the top two spots. Other moneymakers include Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks, and the youngest is Hilary Duff.
5. 25 essential graphic novels Whoa, 25? I mean, I love some of the books on the list, especially Fun Home, but 25 seems like way too many to be an essence of anything. Still, this is great guidance for anyone who disparages "comic books" generally.
6. Top 7 sexiest female Marvel characters Another (much less well-written) comic-book-oriented list. It includes Black Widow — why hasn't anyone translated her to film yet? Or have they?
Finally, two Feist-related "lists": 7. Feist wins 2007 Shortlist Music Price for The Reminder
8. Juno nominations (including Feist and Tegan and Sara) I think Feist will soon have a Grammy to add to her personal list of accomplishments. (Actually, her personal list probably includes cooler things, such as "Got audience to sing for the 43rd time in a row!") Submitted by on February 6, 2008 - 6:48pm. |

Yay, Sandman's on the 25
Yay, Sandman's on the 25 comic list! Although, I find it amusing that it says it's for fans of Tori Amos, in big bold letters. Just because she mentions Neil Gaiman in a few songs doesn't necessarily mean that all Tori fans will like Sandman. I've come across many who don't.

That top 7 list of sexy Marvel females was ass-backwardly ridiculous. Unacceptable. Jean Grey not being on that list is a crime against -- well I'm not sure who, but it is most certainly illegal some how. And Black Cat is such a cheap Cat Woman rip off ( In Spider-Man: The Last Stand Peter calls her Ms. Kyle and it isn't a joke. It's like the writer forgot he was writing about Felicia Hardy not Selina Kyle) that I discount her from fandom.
The graphic novels countdown was pretty good though with a nice spread of underground and mainstream comics. I was very pleased with Whedon's Astonishing X-Men being so high on the list because it is fantastic.
Much of that "geekier than Monty Python" applies to me. A fact which did not shock me, at all.

tegan and sara <3
i'm sooo happy for them! congrats twins!!!
although i feel they should've been nominated for more categories than that.. (they were nominated for alternative album of the year)
Comics
Nice list but I'd swap Y: The last man for Love And Rockets anyday.
I just had to mention Locas.
No Wonder Woman?
In the sexiest female comic book characters? Plus, IMO the BlackCat should be number one. That hair is sexy.

Marvel
Ah, Wonder Woman. Mmmm...
I think she wasn't on the list because Wonder Woman is a DC character... the list was for sexiest Marvel characters.
Wow, I am a geek for even knowing that.
Ah a list of lists
It doesn't get better than that...
I was surprised to read the 20 geeky pop-cultural obsessions. Maybe I just don't know what geeky means, or maybe I am just surprised that almost everything I heart is considered geeky...

Oh yeah!
