In trying to clear out my tabs to reach the nirvana of Tab Bar Zero, I came to <a href="http://www.dannorris.co.uk/">Daniel Norris's</a> reimagined <a href='http://www.flickr.com/photos/14025511@N03/5644126911/in/photostream'>Die Hard poster</a>. I'd meant to post it months ago. He's got a bunch of really good movie posters, but I love Die Hard.<br />

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14025511@N03/5644126911/" title="Die Hard by Daniel Norris, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5108/5644126911_ec29e47b59.jpg" width="332" height="500" alt="Die Hard"/></a><br />
<br />
This reminded me of Olly Moss's Die Hard poster from a couple years ago. And then I got curious about whether there were any other Die Hard posters out there, and, oh man, let me tell you there are a couple, and these are all of them that I could find. Which one is your favorite? Did I miss any?<br />

Here's my list annotated with notes and Nerve's original rating:<br />
<br />
15. Drillbit Taylor (2008) I don't think I saw this one.<br />
4.  Bridesmaids (2011) I definitely didn't see this one, but the previews look funnier than Drillbit Taylor.<br />
10. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) I wish I liked this one more, but couldn't even finish it.<br />
13. Year One (2009) I didn't realize this was Appatow, but I finished it.<br />

11. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) Some chuckles.<br />
8. The Cable Guy (1996) This was a long time ago.<br />
9. Pineapple Express (2008) There's a big chasm between 9 and 8 on this list.<br />
7. Funny People (2009) Poignant. It was better than it looked.<br />
12. Get Him to the Greek (2010) Lots of laughs.<br />
6. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) Rewatchable.<br />
5. Superbad (2007) Lots of laughs AND rewatchable.<br />
1. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) I mean, come on.<br />
2. Knocked Up (2007) I'm approaching having seen this one too often.<br />
3. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) Masterpiece.<br />

<blockquote>EDITOR’S NOTE: 2010 was the most loathsome year on record, and it was difficult choosing between the literally hundreds of deserving scoundrels who could’ve made this year’s list. Some people are perpetually awful and we’re tired of writing about how awful they are, so there are some intentionally glaring omissions. We surely missed someone you hate. We missed a lot of people I hate. Check out the Loathsome Americans from 2002, (the dog eated it in 2003) 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 (wow, we’re getting old) before your head explodes because your favorite asshole isn’t featured above.</blockquote><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Pew Research Center released their list of <a href="http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1841/publics-top-news-stories-2001-2010-september-11-katrina">top news stories of the decade</a>. There were 24 stories that ranked 50% or higher on their survey of what news stories people were following. I remembered all of them except the US Airmen being released from China. Their list is an image which is probably supposed to keep bloggers from posting them, so I typed them out for you. Interestingly, October seems over represented, which probably has a lot to do with people beginning to tune in in advance of an election. Check out the full list of 24 stories at the link above.<br />
<blockquote>1 Terrorist attacks on the U.S. (October 2001) 78%<br />
2 Hurricane Katrina and Rita impacts (October 2005) 73%<br />
3 High gasoline prices (September 2005) 71%<br />
4 Condition of U.S. Economy (September 2008) 70%<br />
5 Sniper shootings near D.C. (October 2002) 65%<br />
6 Iraq war (May 2003)  63%<br />
7 Debate over Wall Street bailout (October 2008) 62%<br />
8 2008 presidential election (October 2008) 61%<br />
9 Major earthquake in Haiti (January 2010)  60%<br />
10 Debate on war with Iraq (October 2002) 60%</blockquote><br />

I'm not sure anyone belongs on this list if they have only won one of the four (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). Obviously Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin are the favorites having won 3 of the 4 needed, but also because it's not impossible to imagine them winning Oscars (you know, in the way that it's impossible to imagine Gwyneth Platrow winning a Grammy)<br />
<br />
<blockquote># cher (E, G, O)<br />

Incidentally, there have been <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/12/04/who-has-an-egot/">12 EGOT winners</a> (or 10 if you're a stickler).<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In a <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100722/mailbag2">recent mailbag</a>, Bill Simmons had occasion to name comedy MVPs for every year since 1975. The criteria: <br />
<br />
<blockquote>You have to nail at least one of these questions to qualify for that given year: Were you in the hottest comedy of the year or, even better, in the middle of a run of hot comedies? Were you carrying SNL? Did you have an iconic stand-up special, cable TV show, late-night show or comedy series? Did you routinely crush any late-night appearance or SNL hosting gig? Did you have a huge approval rating with little to no backlash? Do we associate that year with you to some degree? I need resonance beyond just cult affection, which unfortunately rules out the great Bill Hicks (who has a strong case for 1990). </blockquote><br />
<br />
It's a pretty good list. Eddie Murphy's 3 year run from 82-84 is set up as the run all comedians should aspire to, which I agree with. There are some lean years, as well, which leads to a few underwhelming selections like Billy Crystal in 1990 and Gary Shandling in 1997. Without having other names to suggest, I think I have the most problems with the last 8 years or so. I love Larry David, but it's hard for me to see him on the list twice when his show hasn't really gotten beyond cult status. Ricky Gervais probably deserves a spot somewhere, and maybe the Lonely Island guys for Lazy Sunday. Also notably absent Stephen Colbert (2006 or 2007) and Conan O'Brien. This list, though, is at least a good place to start the argument. There is only one woman on the list, and a winner for 2010 has not yet been declared. Has there been a breakout comedy for this year, yet? My bet is on Steve Carell, Zach Galifianiakis, Jonah Hill or Russel Brand could be a dark horse, as well as anyone staring in a comedy coming out between now and December. Actually, you know who wins for 2010? Betty White. <br />
<br />
Here is the list:<br />
1975: Richard Pryor<br />
1976: Chevy Chase<br />
1977-78: John Belushi<br />
1979: Robin Williams, Steve Martin (tie)<br />
1980: Rodney Dangerfield<br />
1981: Bill Murray<br />
1982-84: Eddie Murphy (1984 Honorable Mention to Sam Kinison)<br />
1985-86: David Letterman<br />
1987: Jay Leno, Howard Stern (tie)<br />
1988: Eddie Murphy<br />
1989: Dana Carvey<br />
1990: Billy Crystal<br />
1991: Jerry Seinfeld<br />
1992: Jerry Seinfeld, Mike Myers (tie)<br />
1993: Mike Myers<br />
1994: Jim Carrey<br />
1995: Chris Farley<br />
1996: Chris Rock<br />
1997: Garry Shandling<br />
1998: Adam Sandler<br />
1999: Mike Myers, Chris Rock (tie)<br />
2000: Will Ferrell<br />
2001: Matt Stone and Trey Parker (tie)<br />
2002: Larry David<br />
2003: Dave Chappelle<br />
2004: Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart (tie)<br />
2005: Steve Carell<br />
2006: Sacha Baron Cohen<br />
2007: Larry David<br />
2008: Tina Fey<br />
2009: Zach Galifianiakis<br />
2010: ????????<br />

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?)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This week, Bill Simmons takes on the Tiger Woods saga in a 2 part <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmonsnflpicks/091211">Tiger Zoo</a> 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:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>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.<br />
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.<br />
3. Demand your money back from The Enquirer, and demand your money back from any of the girlfriends.<br />
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.<br />
5. Attend the NBA All-Star Weekend's slam dunk contest.<br />
6. Tell the world that Sarah Palin is an idiot so at least 52.9 percent of Americans will agree with you.</blockquote><br />
