Unless you live under a rock or in a forgein country you should know the Super Bowl was this last Sunday. This is the first one I've watched in about 5 years, and the second football game I've watched this year. I expected it to be like the Rose Bowl, which every other moment was brought to you buy a corporation. That is no joke, it was the Doritos first and ten, and the Meryll-Lynch offense line and so on. The Super Bowl was not plastered with corporate sponsor. To me, this took away from the ability to enjoy the sporting event going on.
This Super Bowl was actually a very enjoyable game to watch. There was a strong back and forth between the Saint and the Colts. I thought the coach for the Saints made some ballsy moves that payed off in the end.
The Half Time Show was one of my all time favorite bands, The Who. Well, not really The Who, but the remaining members. To me, it was more along the lines of two old men and some other guys covering music played by The Who. Now Zak Straksey is a good drummer, better than his father Ringo Starr, but he is no Keith Moon. Pino Paladinno is also a solid bassist, playing along side such legends as Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, he certainly knows how to work that instrument. But at the end of the day, they are not Keith Moon or John Entwhistle. And along those lines, Roger Daltery's voice is shot as is Pete Townsheds. It was a sad boring affair that makes me appreciate Live at Leeds even more.

LOST
OMG FTW
I am excited to see the final season of LOST; the only TV Show outside of Doctor Who I am excited to see in 2010.

This 'aught' to be the Decade to Remember
So, I've been trying to think of some great list to close out the decade. Its a tough call with seeing all the things that happened over the past ten years. When we entered this decade, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was still fresh in our minds, the PS2 was the latest in gaming and Portal CD Players still dominated the Market. Since 2000 we've seen the advent of the Digital Era; if you told me ten years ago I'd have over 400 albums and countless video games all owned via digital means. That Imax would no longer be reserved for documentaries at the Zoo. Apple Computers would again be the definition of sleek and high tech; TV would be replaced by the Internet. Its been an interesting decade for entertainment, that is for certain. So as I compile my list of Movies, TV, Video Games, and Music, what are some of your most memorable moments in the last decade?
