Last month, Rotten Tomato made this 2010 Movie Preview with 24 of their most anticipated movies of the year. However, they did it it that annoying slideshow style, so it’s lucky for us that ohnotheydidnt made this one handy dandy post with all the movies in one place. I have to say that after looking over this list, I’m highly anticapating about 3 of these movies and luke warmly acknowledging I’ll check out a few of the others. So which 5 of these 24 would you put on your list? (I looked for the 2009 Movie Guide, but couldn’t find it. Anyone?)

Can’t really complain with Bill Mann’s 10 best TV shows of the decade, but I wouldn’t have The Sopranos #1, I would have bumped The Shield for 30 Rock and had Friday Night Lights as an Honorable Mention. What do you supposed 6 Feet Under bumps out? Stewart/Colbert probably ought to be counted as one show. What do you think of the list? What were your favorite shows of the decade?

1. The Sopranos (HBO)
2. Deadwood (HBO)
3. The Wire (HBO)
4. The Colbert Report (Comedy Central)
5. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (Comedy Central)
6. Mad Men (AMC)
7. Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
8. Extras (HBO)
9. The Shield (FX)
10. The West Wing (NBC)
Honorable Mention: Countdown With Keith Olbermann (MSNBC); Weeds (Showtime); Fareed Zakaria GPS (CNN); The Office (BBC version).

The Omnivoracious blog on Amazon compared their year end top 100 books list, with the New York Times 100 Notable Books and Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2009 to get a composite of the best books of 2009. There were 11 books that were on all 3 lists this year, plus 2 that were not on the Notable 100, but were on other NY Times lists. For what it’s worth, there were 13 last year and 11 in 2007. No women authors made the cut, only 2 novels, and 2 graphic novels.

This week, Bill Simmons takes on the Tiger Woods saga in a 2 part Tiger Zoo mailbag. One interesting section at the end is an extended look at the Tiger Woods/Don Draper similarities (they’re both the best and have beautiful wives, etc, etc). This list of 6 tips on how Tiger can rehabilitate his image, from PR pro turned filmmaker Dan Klores, also caught my eye. Especially #6:

1. If you can’t tell your wife the truth from the get-go, recognize immediately that you shouldn’t marry again, and that the grass isn’t always greener from the other side.
2. Hit the links, start giving huge bucks to African-American charities, show up at church, double your dose of Viagra and use it for your wife, understand “it’s never going to be the same,” see a shrink two to three times per week minimum, do Larry King, then a few weeks later do Leno.
3. Demand your money back from The Enquirer, and demand your money back from any of the girlfriends.
4. Ignore every so-called “crisis communication” expert who sought a headline by claiming you didn’t get out in front of the story, because they have obviously never been caught cheating on their wives.
5. Attend the NBA All-Star Weekend’s slam dunk contest.
6. Tell the world that Sarah Palin is an idiot so at least 52.9 percent of Americans will agree with you.

Here’s Oliver Willis with 20 Ways To Bring “The Wire” To Your Office. My favorites are:

2. Whistle “the farmer in the dell” as you walk between cubicles.
3. Show pride in your job via bad grammar
eg. “I’se real web developer.”
3a. Lament the lameness of your office in comparison to everyone else.
eg. “I wish I worked for a real accounts payable department”
20. When in doubt, just kill someone. That always seems to work.

Plus here are 3 links about actor Michael Kenneth Williams who played Omar Little. He’s in ‘The Road’ which appears to be apocalyptically awesome. A profile, A Q&A, and a handy post summarizing both of them.

Thanks Karmie and Kerry.

I’ll never get over how much Omar Epps looks like Mike Tomlinson. And yet, they only made #2 on this list. Strange

Mashable put together their list of the top 9 internet memes of 2009. I can’t tell if they were presented in order or not, but this isn’t the order I would have presented them in if so. There was so much noise in their post that I simplified the list to just a link each. Anything missing?

As far as excitement on the internet, I’m not sure #3, #4, or #5 belong with the others on this list. #6 doesn’t either, but it was a truly awesome internet moment.

#1 David After Dentist
#2 Susan Boyle
#3 United Breaks Guitars
#4 Three Wolf Moon T Shirt
#5 Baby Dancing to Beyonce
#6 JK Wedding Entrance Dance
#7 Christian Bale’s Meltdown
#8Balloon Boy
#9Kanye West at the VMAs

Rotten Tomatoes does the work of naming the 100 worst movies of the last decade. I thought I watched a lot of crappy movies (I watch them so you don’t have to), but I’ve seen surprisingly few of these. And even better, I don’t think I liked any of the ones I had seen. It’s redemptive.

Thanks to the Telegraph UK for this list of 50 things that are being killed by the internet. Thanks also to them for posting this list on one page instead of as a slide show. I hate when people do that.

My favorites below, and also, #1 is a doozy.

9) The myth of cat intelligence
The proudest household pets are now the illiterate butts of caption-based jokes. Icanhasreputashunback?
42) The nervous thrill of the reunion
You’ve spent the past five years tracking their weight-gain on Facebook, so meeting up with your first love doesn’t pack the emotional punch it once did.
