F/X has really impressed me with their comedy programming. In the 90s, there was of course the indie film movement, and now that DIY, low budget mentality has reached television production, with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as the forefather, an F/X show. Interestingly enough, IFC, whose schedule had been saddled with a whole bunch of uninspired cliched spawns of the 90's indie film movement, is coming out with a whole bunch of indie half hour comedies like Portlandia. This underground TV trend is just starting, but in my opinion, I think the history of indie TV will prove to be far more interesting than that of indie films.

MUSIC: Official summer song of 2010
Last year's OFFICIAL SUMMER SONG was Mayer Hawthorne's smooth Detroit stylings on Just Ain't Gonna Work Out but now it must make way for a new song, new year.

MOVIE: Avatar
I watched this one with the whole family in 3D IMAX- seeing anything in that format is a bit of a transcendent experience, like discovering the joys of Tivo for the first time, or losing your virginity. (Can't wait to watch Alice in Wonderland with my 3D glasses on!) You do get a hell of a headache though, a bit like being car sick. But it's all worth it of course.
