The piece of toast on this t-shirt is:
A) slathering his body with jam as a way to entice humans to eat him
B) slathering his body with jam as preparation for a terrifying yet yummy act of self-cannibalism
C) slathering his body with jam as an effort to tease hungry New Year’s dieters before playfully scampering away
D) ineligible for Entertainment Weekly’s Must List page
I can’t really speak about the first three options on this quiz, as the t-shirt in question — available at threadless.com, and coincidentally one of my favorite things I got this year for Christmas — is open to interpretation, but option D is a sad, unyielding truth.
So what, in fact, constitutes a Must List-worthy item? Well, generally speaking, your favorite TV shows/albums/books/movies/video games/websites right this very minute. So please send us up to three suggestions for what you’d like to see on the Must List in next week’s issue of EW; be sure to post your ideas before 10 a.m. on Thursday, January 3, and make sure to include your email address (which we’ll need to contact you if your submission is chosen). You’ll be the toast (sorry!) of the town!

The Wire! The Wire is back and I don’t know whether to loudly cheer or start crying because it’s almost over. The best show on television will be much enjoyed and very, very much missed!
The Comics Curmudgeon (www.joshreads.com). Hilarious daily takes on all that is annoying, unfunny and/or insane in the comics. Who knew that Mary Worth could actually be made entertaining?
I love threadless! I actually have a whole bunch of shirts from there. But my must list?
Right now, Supernatural. I’ve watched the first two seasons online in about three or four days, and am now working my way through the first eight episodes of season three so when the new episodes air, I can watch it live.
Also, Chuck. Not only do I love the show Chuck, but my boyfriend, who hates tv because he feels it is a waste of time, loves it. Thank god he likes to watch one of my shows.
I’m voting for a repeat: Dexter Season 1. It was under my tree this Christmas and it took me less than a week to watch it all. I’m dying for Dexter Season 2 now. Or maybe I should just subscribe to the premium channels for once.
The Juno soundtrack is my top pick.
BLU-RAY (cuz it’s the absolute best way to watch movies at home)
Radiohead – In Rainbows (now available in stores, not just online)
Sweeney Todd – So much blood, but such a cool flick.
(pretty good)fake irish accents in ps i love you by gerard butler (scottish) and jeffrey dean morgan (american). they look pretty good too
late night is back!!
friday night lights returns (for now)
1) The return of Lost – It can’t come fast enough for its fans.
2) Juno – Ellen Page plays a teen so real that it is as if Angela Chase got knocked up and all other teens are fake.
3) Booster Gold – DC Comics and Geoff Johns recreates this character as a time cop who becomes the greatest hero no one knows in this monthly series.
I second a vote for the “Juno” soundtrack. Fantastic!
Can I also throw a nomination out there to the trio of women who played Briony in “Atonement”? Saoirse Ronan, Romola Garai and Vanessa Redgrave were all magnificent in this movie, especially since none were really the lead Briony, they had to make the transition between the three of them seamlessly work and it really did.
1. sweeney todd – best film of 07
2. thecheappop.com – best site of 07
3. radiohead in rainbows- best cd of 07
Bender’s Big Score – It’s Futuramic!
Blade Runner Collector’s Edition DVD set. – ’nuff said
3 CD Blade Runner 25th Anniversary Soundtrack by Vangelis – still no full version of the Main Title music, but way better than any of the numerous bootlegs.
Alex Ross’ overview of 20th Century music, The Rest Is Noise. A great, accessible, and smart book about music.
This is an old one, but I hope people seek this movie out: ‘Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead’.
It’s amazing to see that Sidney Lumet is still on top of his game.
Letterman!!!! Not only is he brilliantly funny, but he’s brilliantly business savy to negotiate around the WGA strike.
Fave cd of 2007? Sara Bareilles’ Little Voice. Grade A from start to finish…not a klinker in the bunch.
Best movie is definitely Juno. With a stellar breakthrough performance by Ellen Page.
I’m counting down to the return of the Wire this Sunday. Oh baby I can’t wait to see Bubbles, Bunk, etc.
I’m also secretly hoping that EW puts it’s money where it’s mouth is gives the show the cover story it deserves.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall trailer. New genius from the Apatow bunch.
Michael Cera and Ellen Page’s version of The Moldy Peaches song “Anyone Else But You.” It’s the perfect ending to the perfect movie.
I’d like to third (or fourth, or whatever) the Juno soundtrack. Brilliant.
Also, The L Word returns this weekend, and the first episode is already up at http://www.ourchart.com (albeit edited down to TV-14). A nice bright spot in an otherwise almost dead tv schedule.
I don’t know about what I would put ON my Must List but I definitely know what I’d leave off: the Juno soundtrack UGH
Game: Gotta go with Mass Effect. The game has a story that’s adult friendly, a great ending, amazing graphics and interaction, and a tasteful sex scene (rare for a video game-see “hot coffee” for a reference to how vids usually handle adult topics).
MIA’s album serves up a lot of tasty morsels. All I wanna do is —, +++ and take your money
And since the primaries start this week, why not show off some civic pride (and pro-pop culture pizazz) with a stylish pin to support your favorite candidate? I’ve got a taste for a progressive majority, and my kickazz “Obama is THE MAN” pin.
Since there is absolutely no good TV right now, I’ve been forced to -ugh- READ. There were two books I enjoyed while home last week, and my vacation was all about the memoir- Steve Martin’s “Born Standing Up” and “Candy Girl” by Diablo Cody. Hmmm… Is that combo as schizoid as I think it is…?
1. Waitress on DVD–great performances by everyone, and ready access to the kitchen when the pie craving eventually takes over. Such a great, great movie.
2. This American Life, the podcast that gets me through my Monday mornings.
3. Mindy Kaling and co’s Things I Bought that I Love blog. It’s just fun.
My fave website is “Confessions of a Pioneer Woman”, a hilarious blog of what happened when an upwardly mobile fashionista fell in love with a cowboy. Recently featured on CNN’s “News to Me”.

Mid-season replacement shows….Looking forward to some new non-realty network programming.
“The Weasel McPuppy Letters” at http://weaselmcpuppy.blogspot.com/
From the pen of a very small dog… into the hands of an unforgiving world.

hilarious.
My must list item is http://www.flyoceanicair.com. I saw a commercial for it during the ANTM marathon on vh1. I thought Oceanic was no longer in business after everything that happened to Flight 815.
– Kyle XY Season 2.5 – starting Jan. 14th!
– The 1 minute, 46 second LOST trailer – Jack’s father in Jacob’s chair? I’m intrigued…
– Marvel Comics Illustrated presents The Iliad – #1 (of a proposed 8 issue mini) is out now; See? Comics can be educational, too!
