EW.com has really gone downhill. While it was never much of a movie centric site, they at least would have new castings and reviews on their main page and it was a sort of one stop shop to catch up with a little pop culture news. Now they seem to have become obsessed with generating web traffic and to artificially rise their viewer numbers by providing nothing but lists that you must click through individually. Now don't get me wrong, I love lists. Love to read them, love to write them, love everything about them. But these lists aren't even in any order, just randomly chosen and the subjects leave a little something to be desired. A sampling of today's selection: 15 greatest Emmy moments, 20 dumbest TV shows ever, 16 great election-year movies, 13 movie dresses that impress, and 28 wacky TV/movie neighbors. I wish I was making those last two up but I'm not. This is what it has come to.
