Last week, we asked you, our faithful and impossibly good-looking PopWatch readers, to send us suggestions for the Must List, the index of pop-culture cool that runs each week in the pages of Entertainment Weekly. Well, one of those ideas was added to the Must List in our newest issue — on sale later this week — and let’s just say that life for that astute and impossibly good-looking PopWatch reader will never be the same.
So, we come to you again, asking that you let us know about the TV show/album/book/movie/video game/website that you think is ML-worthy. A high standard, we know — but this should be easy for readers as clever (and, yes, impossibly good-looking) as you.
Just a few rules:
(1) Please limit yourself to no more than three suggestions (and if you wanna explain your suggestions, go right ahead), and
(2) Please include your email (we won’t publish it and we won’t share it — we just need it to contact you if your submission is chosen)
We’ll accept submissions up until 10 AM on Thursday, July 5. So have at it — and in the words of a favorite gap-toothed curmudgeon: "Please…no wagering"
Scrubs. House. Harry Potter.
Hanson’s new record, The Walk. It’s amazing, and could show a lot of people who only remember them as kids the great musicians they’ve grown in to.
TV – Burn Notice (USA) Jeffrey Donovan is back after being on some great short-lived series (Touching Evil comes to mind)I am glad to see him in this great new show. Check it out!
Movie – Paris Je T’aime – this is still playing at the local arthouse in Scottsdale, AZ. I thought that it was brilliant and beautifully done.
Broadway Thaetre and CD of “Spring Awakening”
TV-”Brothers and Sisters”
Website-”EW’
30 Rock. My Life on the D-List. Kelly Clarkson’s “My December”.
(1)Harry Potter anticipation
(2)Slings & Arrows season 3 on dvd (or any season, really). Why-oh-why aren’t US audiences catching on to this? It’s so freakin’ good. And at 6 eps per season, almost like a really erudite miniseries.
(3)Literary musts: a much anticipated Thursday Next novel coming out 7/24 from Jasper Fforde. And a veritable MegCabotapalooza going on right now with a new YA novel, a new manga, and an adult chick-lit book, too.
Kelly Clarkson’s My December — Lord help her for recording what she feels instead of doing “From Kelly Back to Justin.” More power to you, Ms. C!
Big Brother 8-No other summer programming like it.
Anything Apatow — if you have worked with the man, your product is already several cuts above the rest of the malarkey.
Friday Night Lights on nbc.com. Since they’re not showing summer reruns on TV, this is the way to get hooked. I never saw the show when it originally aired, but I caught up in just a few days by watching online, and now I can’t wait for the 2nd season.
three websites i’m loving right now:
