Alright, so don't drink and drive, don't pee in the street, celebrate the New Year happily and be safe, all of that.

I'm reminded every year around this time of the 1999/2000 New Years I enjoyed directly beneath the ball in Times Square. I spent 14 hours in that unruly, unforgiving environment. It took me, at one point, an hour and a half to wade through a sea of humanity just to go to a porta john and back. The porta john was maybe twenty feet away from where my friends and I had staked our spot. I recall the systematic counting down of the new year for each time zone, and when it came time for the Brits, John Lennon's "All You Need Is Love" played majestically throughout the streets over the speaker system. I looked around me, and everyone, all races, all creeds, all nationalities, were singing along: "All you need is love." It was beautiful.

Anyway, I always remember that and consider that this is the moment when we all get to reboot and start all over again. Here's hoping your reboot is exactly what you need.

We'll be back here at In contention tomorrow with the top ten most anticipated films of 2007. Until then...Happy New Year.
