On January, 18th, 2014, the Los Angeles Times Entertainment Section ran an article that was titled, “Paramount stops releasing major movies on film.” I’m very aware of the new technologies that exist – digital media players have made physical albums a thing of the past and streaming video services have made DVDs virtually obsolete – so the fact that Paramount is “the first big Hollywood studio to embrace digital-only U.S. releases” should come as a natural progression.

But I, for one, don’t really know how I feel about this. Sure, I consume music and watch movies and television shows through various streaming services, but I’m not ready to go completely digital.

There are movies that you have to see on opening night, movies that you’ll rent, movies that you’ll see eventually and simply movies that you’d like to see. Below is the kind of list that contains all of those, but the one constant is that I want to see them all at some point.

I’ll be the first to admit that I usually don’t care to see 14 new movies in a given year, usually 6 or 7 tops, but this year I wrote them all down they totaled 14, what luck!?

The Inbetweeners is a great show, full of the exact realistic awkward moments that most American teen dramas miss. Friends and friendships, cliques, families, booze, minge, clunge and sex. Not sure what I’m talking about? I’ll be sure to explain the lingo as I go along, it’s not just English lingo, it’s Inbetweeners lingo.

The show exists as three seasons, six episodes a clip, plus one full length movie and another currently in production.

As the snow falls now and over the last few days, it has blanketed much of the country, bringing some places to a halt, I’m reminded of Betty White’s character Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler Moore show and what she had to say about snow.

It could quite simply be the best description of snowfall in modern media, and it was written in the 1970s!
