[...] Pink Is The New Blog: Gay entertainment blogger and stencil-font enthusiast Trent counts down his favorite movies and TV shows of 2008. The list is refreshing because he doesn’t seem to give a damn what his audience wants to see on a year-end list. The top three film spots go to an eclectic mix of Slumdog Millionaire, Sex and the City and Cloverfield. We’re glad that Milk wasn’t snubbed entirely, but c’mon… Number 7?! Hopefully the Academy ranks it higher than that. ____________________________________________________________________ POSTED BY Joseph Sanchez AT 04:22PM var addthis_pub = “hxwebmaster”; var addthis_title = “A Year End Review of Year End Reviews”; addthis_url = “http://hx.com/archives/2531″; FILED IN Web-Only | Tags: AfterElton, Film, Gay Fleshbot, GMSC, Hotness, Joseph Sanchez, Music, MuuMuse, New Years, Pink is The New Blog, Playbill, Porn, Sex, Theater Leave a Comment [...]

I just stumbled upon your blog last night, and I’m backtracking and loving it! You are so entertaining and honest about your observations, and I was well pleased with your picks here. Especially about Cloverfield! I never understood the negative hype on that movie, I also thought it was one of the best realistic monster films we’ve had in a long time. The ‘shaky’ camera work was not the worst I’ve ever seen (Quarantine, anyone? Which, seriously – was. not. that. good. The camera work made me sick to my stomach). I was able to get past it pretty easy. The performances were great, and the viral marketing campaign was genius and a lot of a fun to get in to. I am very much looking forward to seeing Slumdog Millionaire, it looks amazing, and I adore that you chose Skins as the number one TV series of 2008. What an awesome show. I caught it online early last year, and I ordered an import of seasons 1 and 2 from Amazon, which was absolutely worth it. I do agree with some of the other posters that Mad Men should definitely be up there, a truly fantastic, intelligent show that’s very different from a lot of the television out there.

I totally agree with Cloverfield but your TV picks? Where is True Blood? Stephen Moyer is the hottest newcomer this year and makes the sexiest vamp ever! Find the graveyard scene on youtube..you will be hooked!!

i cant believe u didnt have twilight in ur movies!!!!
i saw twilight not knowing any of the hype and not really sure wat to expect cos i didnt really know the story and thinking it wouldnt be that good (i hadnt read the book)… i came out LOVING the movie and have seen it 3 times in the movies!!!
it is my total number 1 for this year… and i just finished reading the book and definitely the book is better but the movie adds an intensity to the characters…
anyway thats my opinion :)

I LOVED Cloverfield, but my favorite was by far Iron Man.. can’t lie. RDJ was perfect. And I agree with you on TDK… It was a good movie, but it wasn’t perfect like everyone makes it out to be. haha

Actually it’s not the first time the story of Harvey Milk has made it to the big screen. The documentary, “The Life and Times of Harvey Milk” is superior to the quite good “Milk”.

I have to agree with adding Mad Men to the list. I rented the first season when AMC was advertising the h*ll out the second season premiere. It is one of the most engrossing shows I’ve ever watched.

And the second season was off the chain, especially when it came to Joan, Betty and Peggy’s storylines. The season finale was so unbelievably good… oh man!!

And Pushing Daisies was another favorite. ABC sucks for canceling it. The only other show I watched regularly was Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil, but the runs were so brief.

I totally forgot that Cloverfield came out this year. It was a really really fun movie.
I will have to agree with a lot of the people posting comments, Dexter would have been very high on my top 10 list.

I am shocked and appalled that you left off Lost on this list. You seem to be able to blog about it when it’s bad but when it has the best season since season 1 and it doesnt even make the list??

I thought “Cloverfield” was great, but not my pick for fave film of the year. And, like other people said, where’s “Lost”?! This past season kicked BUTT and made me actually really care about the show again.

I’d add Ugly Betty & Desperate Housewives…

I love that Skins is number one on your list!!!! Im assuming you watch it on the U.S Network, so if thats true, you have to watch season two! Season three is going to be airing so soon and the hottest character of Skins, Maxxie, is on a new television show called Britannia High (not airing outside UK yet, but you can watch online)

Pushing Daisies is my favorite TV show, I could just cry that it got cancelled. If you haven’t seen it, you should check it out!

And my #1 movie was Twilight, I know not everyone would agree, but I loved it!! Already saw it 6 times and I’m itching to go see it again.

I COMPLETELY agree with you when it comes to Cloverfield… to me it was absolutely brilliant. My fave movie of the year by far

I am a 30 something midwestern mom and I am on the same page as a trendy cool guy living in LA! I don’t know how good that is for you.but totally agree with your lists. I loved Cloverfield too and Gossip Girl has to be my favorite show- I am just over Lost.

@laura — exactly, I do love Dexter so much but this season wasn’t all that.
