There oughta be a law. Just as it should be illegal for sprawling malls and the Walgreen's on the corner to barf up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, so, too, should critics organizations and other awards-giving bodies be banned from opening the season until Artforum posts John Waters's annual "Best Films of 2011" list on December 1. Tradition, people.
Today's the day, and since it's also World Aids Day, I'm choosing his #9 as a sample quote: "We Were Here (David Weissman) Half my friends died of AIDS, so this simple and painfully told doc on the disastrous epidemic's effect on San Francisco is personal. If you don't sob watching, maybe you should be dead too."
Joining Waters on the same page this year is Ed Halter, founder and director of Light Industry and — whoa — a co-curator of the film and video program for the 2012 Whitney Biennial, opening March 1. His #1: "Inkblot films...

Having premiered in Cannes a full season ago, We Need to Talk About Kevin is, of course, not news, but the Playlist's Kevin Jagernauth has a way of extracting nifty little tidbits from its makers. Director Lynne Ramsay, we learn, will knock out a feature for Warp Films before turning to "a psychological science fiction film." And Tilda Swinton chats a bit about working with Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman on Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. While in Toronto, Swinton's also taken to the stage to discuss her career and spoken with Roger Ebert, looking straight into his camera with a jolting forthrightness … The great, great Los Angeles Review of Books runs Jonathan Lethem's forward and two selections from the first chapter of Conversations with Clint: Paul Nelson's Lost Interviews with Clint Eastwood, 1979-1983, edited by Kevin Avery.

It's been a long road for Pennsylvania electronic duo Designer Drugs, but for Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, that's half the fun.
Having been making music together for well over 10 years, the duo recently debuted their second album, Hardcore/Softcore, on Ultra Records and have been thrust into the ever-expanding American dance-music audience. Now, on the heels of the album's second single, "Through the Prism," featuring rapper and fellow Brooklynite Cerebral Vortex, Designer Drugs are poised to bring their unique brand of grind-house electronic to the masses Thursday night (March 17) at Austin, Texas' South by Southwest, followed by a huge set on the Live Stage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami on March 25.
