Must List wants your very best recommendations

Mar 5, 2008, 03:17 PM | by Christine Fenno

Categories: DVD/Video, Must List, Television

That's right, not just your best — your very best. On my Must List this week is MTV's comedy sketch series Human Giant, the first season of which came out on DVD yesterday in all its random, violent, reliably juvenile glory. Even better: season 2 debuts this Tuesday, March 11, at 11 p.m. (Warning: trailer contains some NSFW language and very silly violence.)

Time to stop monkeying around (warning: see above) and tell us what's a "must" for you right now. And please include your full name and email address in case your recommendation is the "reader's choice" we decide to print on the next issue's Must List page.

For inspiration, try running around town in a bright red tracksuit (maybe you'll bump into Patton Oswalt, like the Giant boys do in the clip below). Let's go!

Precious Tribes, Vicious Lies - by Alan Neff - Eclectic short stories and plays about dysfunctional women and gay men. The plays are campy, the prose darkly humorous, with sharp-witted characters.

Kim Silva Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 09:53 PM EST

The movie "The Hammer"! Subtly sweet with a dose of machismo thrown in. (Where is EW's review?)

Roque Rodriguez Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 12:56 PM EST

Zero Punctuation video game reviews by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. A carton of hate and a wedge of spite for his reviews. Always entertaining...but more so when the games suck (which most do, to him).

PopWatch needs to show some love for "America's Best Dance Crew." Did you see the "Thriller" tribute episode?! The level of creativity and dancing was freaking amazing! It's a thousand times better than "Dancing With the Stars," "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Step Up 2"--all of which have received PopWatch mention.

Scrabbulous on Facebook, I agree with whoever said it.

Digg.com (for some reason it's popular with men but not women which is crazy. But a truly amazing website)

1. the trailer for 'iron man'
2. 'snl' - they finally rediscovered the funny
3. 'the office' coming back!!!!
4. 'the sarah connor chronicles' - it got me through the writer's strike
5. 'eastern promises' - viggo mortensen is a walking deity

Tim Cox Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 02:08 PM EST

Everyone is interested in David Hernandez's dancing career when they should be watching this guy dance everyday...

Also read Natasha Novik's Temeraire Series. Amazing historical fiction with a dragon.

Friday Night Lights is saved!
"The Constant" Lost -best episode ever
The new Gnarls Barkley video...

Lindsay Rosewater Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 01:08 AM EST

The movie trailer for "Young at Heart". Anyone who has that much heart, spirit, and can sing The Clash in packed concert houses at age 80 or older deserves my vote. We should only hope we have that much fun in our retirement days.

Gabrielle Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST

DAVID COOK! The American Idol rocker didn't have me at 'Hello' but at 'Tommy used to work on the docks', the first line of his flawless audition song (Living on a Prayer).

This week the rest of the country also realised how awesome he was with his rock rendition of Lionel Richie's 'Hello'.

David Cook, you're the David I'M voting for.

Rob Grizzly Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 05:42 PM EST

100daysinbed.blogspot.com is a MUST! the writer is funny, kooky, neurotic, honest, and just so cool.

YvJo Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 02:10 PM EST

1) I'm loving stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com. Finally, my progressive, educated, white peeps who think they're "just people" (while the rest of us get racial or ethnic racial qualifiers) get the tongue-in-cheek ethnological treatment their grad school-loving hearts having been crying out for! Happily, they all get and enjoy the joke, but some of the blog's comment posters? Not so much.

2) And, um, A&E's addictive and jaw-dropping "Parking Wars," mortifying videotaped right here in Philadelphia, PA. I don't even drive and I can't..look..away.

Top Chef Chicago starting next week! Fabulous drama mixed with crazy food mixed with a very sexy Tom Coliccio. Plus, it's in my hometown, Chi-Town baby!

Erin Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 01:31 PM EST

The boys of American Idol (well, some!). I could watch Jason Castro, Michael Johns, David Cook, David Hernandez and David Archuleta sing every night! This season has by far been my favorite.
Also, Doc Jensen's Lost articles are on my must list every week. Thursday and Friday mornings are the best! I love his insight and ideas about the show and the humor he adds to it.

Andy Tuttle Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 11:28 AM EST

Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. Finally we will have the answer to every kid's burning question. Who would win in a fist fight, Mario or Sonic?

Tara Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:57 AM EST

Xanadu (the Broadway musical) - so insanely good/hysterical.
And "Free Radio" on Vh1 - that show kills me! Lance Krall and Anna Vocino are just fantastic.

Heather Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:46 AM EST

1. Popwatch
2. Lady Antebellum
3. The latest JD Robb book
4. Any movie with Chris Evans (who made the 30 Under 30 List!)

Katie M. Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:23 AM EST

Granted, it is a product of Entertainment Weekly, but Slezak's America's Next Top Doll should not be missed! He captures the essence of ANTM perfectly!

RMK Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 10:03 AM EST

Couldn't be happier about Human Giant coming back...so good...

Also--FREE RADIO on Vh1 (fridays, 9:30). Hilarious stuff...

1. Gilmore Girl repeats on ABC Family- I can watch this show a hundred times and it never gets old.
2. The Riches returns this month! Oh Eddie and Minnie I've missed you.
3. Tilda Swinton- Dear Ms. Swinton I apologize that it took and Oscar for me to truly appreciate your talent. I should have watched Orlando sooner. Forgive me. I love your hair.

Christian from Project Runway 'cause he's fierce!!!!

Laura Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 12:43 AM EST

1. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs One of the funniest videos I've ever seen. There's a sequel on youtube also.
2. The America's Next Top Doll PopWatch blogs. They're just amazing and KILL me every time.
3. Season Finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles! It was simply amazing (at least, I thought the second hour was). Need season 2!
4. Music from Once. Beautiful

Sarah C Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 12:41 AM EST

--America's Best Dance Crew (don't be a hater. I can't dance like that, and you can't either)
--Arrested Development (because it's been more than 24 hours since I visited Bob Loblaw's Law Blog)
--Tina Fey (because biatch is the new black!)

I am supposed to be job hunting as I was just laid off, but instead I spend all day looking up those three things!

Dave Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 09:24 PM EST

Book: Ken Jenning's Trivia Almanac...8,888 Questions in 365 Days. Truly thoughtful and challenging questions. A few categories come in three sections labelled "Easy," "Harder" and "Yeah, Good Luck." And some come like the severely-missed Popwatch Headscratchers, such as: what do these people have in common...Kofi Annan, John Elway, Linda Hamilton, Elvis Presley, Keifer Sutherland?

bdt Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST

Holy Moly! Big fan of 100 days in bed right here! she just gets "it".

Joy Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST

The Wire. Thank you for a wonderful 5 seasons. Omar, Barksdale, McNulty, Stringer Bell...TV and life was a lot more exciting having you all in it.

Queen of Disrepair Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 08:49 PM EST

Panic (sans !) at the Disco's "9 in the Afternoon" video and song - great Sargent Peppery-emo fun ride!
The "Lost" pod and video cast available at ABC.com-fun interviews, great background information with teasers enough to futher inflame my brain.

Charlee F. Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 08:32 PM EST

TV: Garth Marenghi's Darkplace on adultswim, Sunday nights at midnight. HIL-arious. Just 3 words: 80s horror show.
Movie/Music: Once. Finally saw it today in one of my classes. In love.

Jonathan F. Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 07:56 PM EST

Brett Dennen. Touring this summer with John Mayer. Plus, how many red-headed musicians can you name?

Jeff Warner Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 05:59 PM EST

I forgot to add a their myspace page so you can hear it. They have two of my favourite songs on their - We Must Destroy and Ships Bound to Sink. Have a listen!

Jeff Warner Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 05:49 PM EST

The only thing I can't get out of my head is a certain CD. Jane Vane and the Dark Matter - Love is Where the Smoke Is. Now, you are probably thinking that its all "dark" music and heavy rockish stuff, but believe me, it is so serene and beautiful. The lyrics are fantastic and the songs are fantastic.

Daniel Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 05:48 PM EST

-- "Amazing Spider-Man" - This month's arc features the writing of Bob Gale ("Back to the Future") and the art of Phil Jimenez.
-- "101 Dalmatians" Platinum Edition DVD - An old favorite finally resurfaces. But sadly no Blu-Ray release
-- "Kick-Ass" - Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s mature read for Marvel's Icon imprint is one of the most entertaining reads of the new year.

Aaron Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST

Virgania Horsen's Hot Air Balloon Rides, quite possibly the best SNL sketch there will be all year. Kristen Wiig is this year's MVP.

Sadly, the video's only posted on Defamer at the moment, but I'm hoping nbc.com uploads it soon.

Erica B. Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

SOME OTHER LOST SCREENS - who made this blog...and why? I cannot stop looking. Also - Jack's tears are my constant. ;)

The final two eps of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Especially that scene cut to Johnny Cash. Will this show "get Foxed"? Hope not!

OMG...Simon Tofield, the creator of "Wake Up Cat," has made a sequel: "Let Me In"...So cuuuuuute!

Renee Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:52 PM EST

100 Days in Bed is absolutely HILARIOUS. This writer should have her own sitcom on television. She says everything you have felt or are currently feeling but are afraid to admit. Bravo.....Keep it coming!!!!!

Laura Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:43 PM EST

1. Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. I can't remember how long I've had this on reserve for but hopefully, it will be coming out on the 9th (unless they push it back...again) and I'm hoping it will be worth the wait.
2. "Remember Me" by Sophie Kinsella - I read this in about 4 hours as I just couldn't put it down.

Lisa Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST

I thought only I was the only one who knew about http://www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com/.Yeah, that blog rocks it hard. She tells the craziest stories about the business, her family and her fat ass (her words).

Also, I nominate new America's Next Top Model & Top Chef. I love you Tyra (even if you are madly photoshopped on the bus I just saw.)

BullY: Special Edition for the Xbox 360 and Wii.

Finally available for Xbox 360, this "sandbox" style game allows for Grand Theft Auto style play in a school setting. A great game for fun seekers who don't think a game needs a body count to be enjoyable.

www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com - Already mentioned in Defamer, It's about a sitcom writer who figures out how to be funny after her cousin is murdered and her mom goes crazy. It's hilarious

Lauren Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:14 PM EST

1. Reno 911!--still hilarious and improv-tastic 5 seasons (and 1 movie) in. Nick Swardson's Terry is the awesomest rollerskating hustler EVER!
2. Awesome young adult novels and their upcoming film versions--Twilight (Stephenie Meyer) and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (David Levithan and Rachel Cohn). I'll be the first in line!
3. Saturday Night Live! Thanks to fantastic hosts like Tina Fey and Ellen Page, and hilarious cast members like Amy Poehler, Jason Sudeikis, and Kristin Wiig, and let's not forget the great writing, the show is finally funny again. Thank blog!

Snarf Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:09 PM EST

Majel Maes Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:02 PM EST

Saturday night BBC America - starting with Torchwood. Holy wah. Captain Jack is the most intensely, fiercely passionate bi-sexual former time lord on TV. (OK he's the only one but that's just a technicality.) When Ianto opined that he and Jack's "dabbling" was "inventive...bordering on avante garde" in last week's ep my imagination went hay-WAYAH. Especially since my husband is deployed to Kuwait right now, and I'm a 'single' mom to 3 kids, Saturday pm has become my time to be an adult and experience (vicariously) that kind of passion. Of course then I have to stay tuned for Graham Norton - that show invariably makes me laugh so hard I cry, which is also a welcome emotion at this point! I look forward to this all week long.

MrKitty Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 04:01 PM EST

Tana French - In the Woods - published in 2007 - best psychological crime novel written in a long time. Set in Dublin - a must read. A girl is found murdered on an archaeological dig - recalling a disappearance of two children in 1984 - one of the trio survives and is now a detective on the Murder Squad that takes on this case along with his extraordinary partner.
