As magazine readers, we usually pick up issues based solely on their cover (occasionally, we skim the table of contents).

It’s been about a week since the year’s most venerated, vehemently debated and viscerally detested movie listicle was released, and, not surprisingly, the Interweb’s been abuzz with 2009 Academy Award discussions. Personally we find the whole affair sickening and are completely underwhelmed by the slate of films the Academy has decided to fawn over this [...]

With our media cycles accelerating to the point of time travel, some great 2009 lists caught our eye before the year even began.

In this edition of Weekly Wednesdays, our mid-week catch-up with the ever-accelerating cycle of online list-making, we take a look at some of the best movie-themed lists of the past seven days that we don’t have the time or energy to delve into completely (because, as Ben Affleck explains to Jay and Silent Bob below, [...]

Perennial purveyor of pop culture listicles and soon-to-be online-only, Entertainment Weekly kept us watching old episodes of The Office all weekend with their latest list apropos the HBO paper company show: Jim’s 17 Best Pranks.
The Office has lost some of its edge in recent seasons as its core dynamics between Jim, Dwight, Pam and Michael [...]

In this edition of our weekly catch-up list of lists, we take an especially close look at the holiday gift list trend that is kicking into high gear. With every publication producing at least one gift guide around this time, Listicles brings you the silliest (number 5), most budget-savvy (number 3), quickest (number 4), most [...]

The year-end list onslaught continues, this morning with Entertainment Weekly’s retrospective list of the 15 Most (and Least) Stylish Movie Characters of 2008. Important detail: the characters have to display fashion sense, but the movies they inhabit can be (and some were) completely awful. Culled from the list of 15, here are EW’s top 3 [...]
