Looking Back on 2003

This is a good time as any to look back on the best and worst of 2003. Movies, television, and commercials are a good place to start. Here's a list of the best and worst movies, compiled by Star-Telegram.com: Best and Worst : 2003 - Star-Telegram.com. Although, I do not agree on some of their choices, such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Master and Commander, two films which I place in my favourites category, and I certainly thought Finding Nemo was overrated, they do provide some decent insights for the worst of the list. When I first saw the trailer for Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat, I thought that Hollywood had come to a complete low, not to mention the choice of Christmas-themed films this year. And what about Freddy vs Jason? This year's choice of entertainment had a few gems, but most of it was rubbish. Television hasn't gotten much better, and I've been disappointed with the 2003 episodes of The Simpsons, and South Park has sunk lower. I don't even bother with South Park anymore. What's even worse are reality shows, the fact that Ruben won American Pop Idol (I had no opinion on British Pop Idol), and the annoying Ozzy commercials. I also got tired of hearing about Michael Jackson.
