The 40 Year-Old Virgin - This is the funniest movie of the summer (even better than Wedding Crashers). Co-writer/director Judd Apatow brings consistent laughs, yet there's also a heart to it and it never treats Steve Carell's character with derision, which would've been easy to do in lesser hands. Plus, it has one of the single best movie posters ever.
More Adventurous by Rilo Kiley - Move over Postal Service and Jude, this is the latest album that I'm obsessing over.
Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story by Chuck Klosterman - He's produced a rock 'n' roll On the Road, musing on pop culture and the women in his life while taking a cross-country trip to various musician death sites. A great read.
"It's a Fine Day (ATB mix)" by Miss Jane - Why am I constantly playing this technopop song from 2000? Nostalgia, mostly.
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" - Finally, a sitcom not afraid to have its late-twentysomething characters pick up women at abortion rallies, dress up like Nazis, and date high school students. I hope this gets picked up for a second season.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - The movie's just okay, but check it out so you can spend two hours gawking at the most beautiful woman in Hollywood looking the best she's ever looked.
Fantastic Four - Similar to the above, only substitute Jessica Alba. The film's got problems, but Michael Chiklis (aka The Commish) rules.
"P Control" by Prince - His best strip club song. Period.
Late Registration by Kanye West - Huge ego and inappropriate political grandstanding aside, the guy's made another gem (with the help of producer/composer Jon Brion). Just try to get the beats for "Gold Digger" or "Heard 'Em Say" out of your head. I dare you.
Kissing Bill O'Reilly, Roasting Miss Piggy : 100 Things to Love and Hate About TV by Ken Tucker - The former Entertainment Weekly critic takes the medium way too seriously. I love this book.
222 by Patton Oswalt - The uncut, full-length, drunken set his "proper" stand-up CD was culled from. Hilarious. Get it before it's gone forever.
Autumn - It's about time.

40 Y.O. was indeed the best film of the summer.
Why no link for autumn?
I'm dying to see 40-YO Virgin. I've been a Steve Carrell fan since his Daily Show days. I also like to catch the other Steve (Colbert -- is it spelled with a "ph" though?) as the voice of Harvey Birdman's psychotic boss. Yes, I'm a 24-year-old girl who watches cartoons.
If you like scary movies, or good movies that happen to be scary, I recommend The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Man. I literally got chills from how powerful it was. And I only commented to my sister a few times about the legal problems in the script!
More importantly, The Exorcism of Emily Rose stars Laura Linney.
P Control. Ahh, that reminds me of the good ol' days when one of my exes requested that song (and actually got it played) at a bridal reception we went to. He started yelling, "All the hot single chicks,,, get yer asses on the dance floor."
Yeah, that was hot.
Thanks for giving a shout out to Angelina. I think she's number two on my "Girls I'd go Gay For" list (Ms. Armstrong-To-Be is number one). I'm sick of defending Angie to overly judgemental people here in Censor Nasty.
And so, you're saying it's okay for a late-twentysomething to date a high school student? Nice. I'm just trying to get over the wild possibility of dating some guy five years my junior.
great, now I have p-word control stuck in my head. at least it's a kick-ass song! :)
spydrz - How about this? (First thing that came up in a Google search)
law fairy - Carell's great and I love his take on "The Office." And Colbert is even better. Definitely check out the three seasons (and upcoming movie) of "Strangers With Candy."
As for Emily Rose, see today's post.
Liking cartoons is cool. Heck, it just makes us that much more compatible. :)
heartbreak - Good point.
KtG - Angelina's striking beauty in Smith almost makes you forget that Billy Bob's been inside hear. Almost.
Hey, my brother (soon to be 33) is dating a 20 year old. He's my hero.
michelle - That it is. That it is.
