Q. i recently read an article in the news about the hottest gifts for Christmas this year but could not find it again anyone have a good list of the best gifts this year I would like to start shopping early this year.
A. I read these every year in the paper and online as well, usually right before the Holidays these top gift list start popping up all over as retailers get ready for the holiday buying rush:
Usually the top items are always electronics and toys along with fashion items for the ladies as they try and target men, women, and children family, relatives, and fiends all in one list...
Amazon has a really cool landing page that has all of the top items for Xmas this year at: http://amzn.to/WnNICq
I like this one because it has a really neat category grid laid out nicely so you can pick "For Dad" and "For Mom" etc.. and they also have all of the latest and greatest gadgets and electronics for the kids and relatives too..
My Favorite list is the Gifts for Gadgets Fans as they have all of the cool electronics out today, the latest models and best pricing, check it out: http://amzn.to/YG8r1T
Also the NY Times and USA Today as well as your local paper will also start to have Gift List and specials and booklets inserted into them come black Friday and into the Holidays. If these dont help you can also google the terms and you will get thousands of websites offering their best of the best gifts for this year. Good Luck and Happy Shopping

2002 Spiderman vs. 2012 Spiderman?
Q. I saw the new one last night. To be honest, it was good and Andrew Garfield did a great job, but I still prefer the 2002 movie and overall I prefer Tobey Maguire. Some things I didn't like about the new one:
1. I thought Garfield was good, but wasn't nerdy enough. they didn't portray him as a very "nerdy" kid like Peter Parker is
2. For some reason, it really bothered me that the new Spiderman used home made spiderweb launchers on his wrists instead of it coming right out of him like the original ones. My dad says that in the normal comic books, he used webbing gadgets (I don't believe that's true) but to me it kinda made this spiderman less "spidier"
3. I thought Tobey Maguire was more of a "super hero" and had more "superhuman strength" and stuff like that. I mean, come on, when you get shot in the leg and are a super hero, that shit's supposed to tickle you
4. last but not least, I didn't really like the new outfit too much. I thought the old one was better
In conclusion, I thought Garfield was good and the movie was entertaining. i thought the story line was pretty good and the villain was ok. I still think Tobey played a much better Peter Parker even though Garfield is a hell of an actor

A. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The new one was really good, and will go down as one of my favorites, but the 2002 version is what I grew up with and it would have been really hard to top it
What can I get my family for Xmas?
Q. Dad: Likes golf, can't golf due to medical conditions, "doesn't watch TV or movies anymore" when I recommended "Breaking Bad" though he mentioned John Wayne DVD set someone gave him for his birthday.
Mom: reads trashy generic novels she buys randomly at book store, tries to dress nicely
Wife: Doesn't do much, just wants to go home, but we just moved there and then back last summer because it was so awful, at least for me and our son. She has iPod, iPod Touch, Kindle Fire, and laptop
Under 10 Son: Only likes video games which we limit greatly and he's limited by the 2006 laptop he uses. No consoles or handhelds or phones!
A "hamper", where you put dirty laundry?

A. How about any of these to think about for any of your family members. You don't have to any get of them as a gift IF you don't want to, but it might give you ideas or something comes to mind.
