Ryan Reynolds: Must Leading Man

1. Being There
MUST MOVIE
''I love Peter Sellers, and his performance in that is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen in my life.''

2. Intervention
MUST TV SHOW
''The first season or two is all about alcoholics and heroin addicts, but then as the seasons progress, they feel the need to sensationalize it a bit, to step it up a notch. So by season 5 you get to people who are chemically unable to experience joy unless they're smoking a cat, or something equally disturbing. I love it. Real schadenfreude stuff.''

3. The Be Good Tanyas
MUST BAND
''It's definitely a little more folksy than I tend to go, typically, but they're also singing things that relate directly to where I grew up in Vancouver, and I like that.''

4. The Tale of the Unknown Island, by José Saramago
MUST BOOK
''At the end there's an I-can't-believe-it reaction. And maybe you have something in your eye. And perhaps there is a tear coming down your cheek.''

5. N/A
MUST VIDEOGAME
''I don't really play videogames. Is there a way to waste more f---ing time? The Internet's enough. The last videogame I played was Ms. Pacman.''

6. The Huffington Post
MUST WEBSITE
''There's a great green section, and they have all these links to my other favorite website, which has an unfortunate name but I do like it: treehugger.com. I wish it wasn't called that. I'm not a tree hugger, but I would like there to be something left besides a black charred vapor for my grandkids.''

7. The Kindle
MUST GADGET
''It's sort of sad. I feel like it represents the death of the printed word, in a way. But I travel all the time, so I can carry 10, 12 books on one tiny thing that has the depth of a credit card.''

8. Jon & Kate Plus Eight
MUST SCAPEGOAT FOR THE MORAL DECLINE OF MODERN SOCIETY
''I find that whole situation to be horrible and awful. Every time I see the headlines, I begin an inner hurricane of throwing up. I wanna see Jon & Kate Plus Eight, the Musical. Jon versus Kate. I wanna see four kids on one side, and four kids on the other, snapping menacingly to music as they walk toward one another.''
