I figured I'd play along with the dying mood around here.

Here's a collection of some of the saddest films of all time.

Some are all about dying. Some focus on the brutality of death. Some explore how we handle death in our culture. But they all make "death" a featured character.

Put on your pallbearers hat and read on.

I live in New York.

My walls are thin. My windows are thinner.
And a lot of things around my neighborhood tend to go bump in the night.

So why don't I sleep that well? There are a few reasons I can think of....

What's a cheap pop?

A cheap pop is a pro-wrestling term that means saying something that will get an instant crowd reaction. Cheer or Jeer.

And they're happening all around you. Everywhere.

For instance: When the crowd goes nuts when a lead singer shouts "Hello...(your state, town, area)," or changes the lyrics to a song to mention the city: that's a cheap pop.

When a politician references your hometown in a speech or campaign stop and you clap: that's a cheap pop.

When Osama Bin Laden releases a tape and says "Death to America." That's a cheap pop. You know, to his supporters.

Cheap pops are surefire ways to get an audience to go ape shit. With that in mind, here's 10 memorable cheap pops from recent memory.

Nurses Day is today, May 6.

You go to Google.

You type in a serious of words.

As you type, a drop down menu appears with suggestions to help you.

Sometimes these Google suggestions will make you go WTF???? And that's what we're featuring here.

Fast Food chains around the country have taken notice of KFC's successful introduction of the Double Down Sandwich.

They intend to keep up the momentum with some incredibly gross, but delicious, concoctions of their own.

All bets on good taste and nutrition are off.

Any and all ideas are on the table. Or Value menu®.

But word on the street is that these 10 food-like items are leading the pack.

It isn't so much the actors, or the story. Sometimes, it's just the music that makes a film. For instance, I can't remember the plot of Chariots of Fire (something about running on beaches or something), but I do remember the music. On the following page, I've listed the top 10 best movie scores from the past 30 years. (This removes Star Wars, Jaws, The Godfather and all those other movies in black and white that film snobs say you should see, but they don't involve killer robots or meteors destroying most of New York and therefore don't count.)

Perhaps you've heard about the new mobile game people are playing. Foursquare.

Well, let me skip the explanation and just say the Mayorships and badges you get for playing the game are worthless. Right now anyway.

Other than telling your friends where you are, there's little benefit to checking in and becoming Mayor around the world. Sometimes you might get a ½ price happy hour drink or a .99 small ice cream cone, but basically your reward for 'checking in' is zip.

That being said, I still think there are some places that would be cool to be the Mayor of.
In fact, I'd exchange my lofty title of Mayor of "Dunkin Donuts on 31st street" with any of these 10 places....

The Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn, NY: Current Mayor Meryl C.

Notre Dame. Paris, France: Mayor Aaron R.

Sistine Chapel. Rome: Currently has no Mayor

Yankee Stadium. Bronx, NY: Current Mayor Edward T.

Fenway Park. Boston, MA: Current Mayor Takuo U.

North Pole. Near Santa Claus: Has a few check ins but no Mayor

Golden Gate Bridge. San Fransisco, CA: Current Mayor Rob S.

Sydney Opera House. Australia: Current Mayor Kae Yen W.

The Acropolis. Athens, Greece: Current Mayor Kakos Lykos.

The White House. Washington DC: Currently has no Mayor. (But it does have one President.)

Mother Nature is a cock tease. She waves 80 degree weather in front of our salivating faces and then threatens us with rain and a 30 degree drop in temperature. The last time I was treated so poorly was by a stripper in Montreal who closed up shop and left me with only body glitter debris as soon as she saw I'd run out of 20s. But this beautiful weather has got me fully in the mood for summer - hence, I'm wearing only a mankini at the office today. Last year, I wrote a piece called "The Toys of Summer" which gave you some suggestions on products you need for an enjoyable few months. And because the well is so close and so fertile, I went back to it and managed to squeak out an updated list.

Last year, we listed some great podcasts to listen to. Since then, podcasting has taken off to the point where Johnny and I started our own. (Sort of) What's great about Podcasts is they're mostly free of censorship, corporate ties, and commercials. They also, for the most part, happen to be free. (It's like winning the lottery only without the mansions and yachts and more with the hour-long high replaced eventually by sorrow and disgust.) So do yourself, and perhaps the folks you share a carpool with, a favor and check out these 10 fantastic podcasts.

Some were bombs. Some were hits.
Some are icons of pop culture.

But all of these movies should be done over.

We suggest how and why.

Over the years breakfast has gotten dull and good for you.

Cereals are the worst culprit.

Nowadays, too many brands are packed only with wholesome ingredients and essential minerals.

They are healthy and nutritious, and no fun at all.

Come on cereal, why so glum?

Opening title sequences have never received their proper credit. (Sorry for the pun) They're almost mini-films designed to grab the viewer in a stylistically and all-encompassing manner while pushing the overall themes of the movie without giving too much away. In other words: they aren't exactly easy to create ... just ask Saul Bass. We've gone through the last 10 years worth of movies and picked out the 10 best opening titles. See if you agree after the jump.

You'll need to use this sign just in case...

1. The 4 carat diamond slipped off her finger.

2. You need to refill the tub with champagne or bubbles.
Or both.

3. Someone slipped, clunked their head, is knocked out...and you can't stop laughing.

4. Of excess shrinkage.

5. She's having trouble breathing underwater.

6. It's the only way to sort out who's wearing your clothes.

7. The video camera battery died.

8. To switch the music from the Black Eye Peas to Barry White.

9. Too many dudes are in the jacuzzi.

10. The party has moved to the pool.

Some people consider long tracking shots directors showing off. Others feel they're some of the hardest things to plan and pull off in cinema. The beauty of these shots are that, when done right, you don't even notice that they're all one take. Some directors are notorious for the long shots and we've selected 10 of the best (in no particular order) after the jump.
