What's in

Or out as the case may be. The 2005 year end wrap up is on at large, and is fairly amusing. Here's some good bits:

It took a while, but being politically correct is out! We’re all turning back into Archie Bunkers; if you’re out of practice you may want to review the 1978 edition of the tasteless epithets handbook. Meanwhile, the remaining politically correct people are barricading themselves in Harvard Square, like the survivors in "Dawn of the Dead."

Supporting the troops is in as ever. But supporting the actual war is out. Supporting President Bush is so far out, it’s in. There’s something about those plummeting approval ratings that make you just want to give him a hug. He’s like a dog with one of those lampshades on his head.

But even though lamenting about the state of the film industry is in, nobody seems to be doing anything about it, i.e. lowering prices, getting rid of those commercials before the movie, beating people who talk during the film with batons, etc. Oh, and making better movies would be nice. Better movies are out.
