Prince William

So apparently Prince William likes rock music. Good for him. Here's what bands he likes from other countries:

Australia: AC/DC. Good! Can't get anymore pure rock than that.
U.S.A.: Bon Jovi. well, ok, not bad, but there's better.
Canada: Nickelback. fuck. The Prince needs a flogging.

Now I don't want him as my king or on my money. Especially the nickel.

The supposed top 100 movies of the last 25 years

Entertainment Weekly (weakly?) has posted it's top 100 movies of the last 25 years (1983 - 2008).

This is the stupidest list I've ever seen.

No Shawshank Redemption, which many people I talk to believe it's one of the greatest movies of the last 25 years.

And where's The Game? Braveheart? Volver?

Stupid list.
