The Year in Videos
Communion (1989; Didn't work for me. Walken an odd choice, and it was more humorous than tense.); The 400 Blows (Criterion Spine #4) (1959; Truffaut's first feature; I'm looking forward to the Antoine Doinel followups.); Silent Rage (1982; Great beginning and Norris-appreciation, but slow and meandering ending.); Dakota Bound (2001; An actual plot, good cheesy action scenes, and lesbians. Amazingly good.); One Dark Night (1982; Mausoleums, reanimation, and spark-shooting eyes, good. A bit slow.);
The Year in Books
Batman: The Dark Night Returns (Holy crap: excellent! Up there with Watchmen.); Jenny Finn (Same old, same old; Mignola is "eh" to me.); Batman: Hush Volume 2 (The conclusion, and the mastermind, is quite nice.); Batman: Hush Volume 1 (I've always liked Batman; this collection was no exception.); Cathy's Book (Prepping for this ARG's sequel, Cathy's Key.);
Nora - thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, I'm a Linux-y/web programmer - I rarely get into Cocoa (or any OS X-specific) coding. My knowledge of AppleScript is pretty much "woohoo, use runShellScript to get to Perl!". I install Apple's Developer Tools to get all the Unix-y things, then promptly delete /Developer. So, whilst I appreciate the pointer to the plugin docs, it's not something I have time to learn (nor desire). Also, what I do like about DL is that it's a generic database - I'd hate to run three different applications for DVDs, Games, and Books, then find myself in a quandary about just which app I'd use to bootstrap my Wine collection (note: I don't have a Wine collection. It's a bad example.)
