(and many other similar, terrible movies) should be drawn and quartered.

A year ago tonight, I was in Oceanside walking around before the Mud Run race the next morning. I wanted to see what this famed local pier that I read about online:

A Word or 52: Some people hated last week's "useless" Lost because it didn't further the storyline but I thought it was a humorously macabre and welcome break that reminded me of some of the better tangential X-Files episodes from 10+ years ago. If looks like we're going back to that story line tonight, oh well. Jericho (CBS, 8:00 p.m.) Roger goes off the deep end, and who can blame him Friday Night Lights/Crossing...

As 2006 ends and 2007 begins, the -ists look back not at the past week, but at the past year. So here it is, your Best of 2006 Spectacular. And from all of us at the -ists, happy New Year!

Some people have already been eulogized here on LAist, for example, Robert Altman, so I've done my best not to repeat anyone who has been mentioned recently. As someone who studied film in college, I always try to look over and remember people who changed the industry, improved their art, or who changed/improved me. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I'm sure I've missed some people. Feel free to add and remind us in the comments.

We never thought it would come to this, but it seems we have a genuine case of Halloween costume ennui. It just seems so wrong. Halloween is the gayest, sluttiest holiday of all, and here we are in one of the gayest, sluttiest cities in America, and we just can't... get it up to think of a good Halloween costume this year.

After days of blaming everyone but himself, Wednesday morning the stingray responsible for the tragic death of the beloved tv personality Steve Irwin finally manned-up and apologized for killing Australia's most lovable bloke. "To be honest I thought he was just another asshole tourist trying to ride me. How was I supposed to know that he was the freaking Crocodile Hunter?" the stingray said through his publicist Jo Brooks. "There was one guy in...

He was loved, but on this day people scratched their heads and wondered to themselves if the man had gone bonkers. Steve Irwin with his 1-month old son and the croc is probably the most sensational moment that the Crocodile Hunter ever gave us. And Steve... and yes you too li'l Bob... thank you....

Fearless Aussie Steve Irwin, who had no problem around alligators, crocodiles, snakes, and all forms of dangerous animals, was killed this morning in what's being described as a freak accident, when a stingray thrust its barb through the 44 year-old Irwin's chest, puncturing his heart. Although stingrays have venom in their serrated spines they are typically not aggressive and their actions are not lethal. Unfortunately because it was a strike to the heart, not...

couldn't happen to a skeezier industry: The FCC has launched the biggest radio payola investigation in 45 years. Clear Channel, CBS, Entercom and Citadel Broadcasting are being investigated for taking bribes for playing crappy music. OK, the FCC didn't specify "crappy," but when you have to pay somebody to get your records played on the radio, that's part of the problem.
