I’m always a bit disappointed that one of my favorite movies, not just from 1998, but of all time, The General, continues to be overlooked. Based on a true story and starring Brendan Gleeson as Martin Cahill a successful Irish career criminal opposite Jon Voight as the police captain trying to finally jail “The…

Which one is which? I vastly prefer the deep fried ones. In fact I want to jam one down my neck right now.

I recall seeing Happiness in a theater during my freshman year of college, and audibly laughing at parts of it while the balance of the theater sat in disgusted silence.

This is all good and fine, but since Paul is my least favorite aspect of that program, I’ll be waiting around for new Netflix offerings featuring my newest British gardening obsession Monty Don.

1998 was also one of Jade Tree Records better years, featuring Kid Dynamite’s s/t, Jets to Brazil’s Orange Rhyming dictionary and Joan of Arc’s How Memory Works.

I’m an old, but for me it was Sonic Youth’s Dirty LP, and more to the point the video for 100%. I don’t remember if Smells Like Teen Spirit had blown the fuck up at that point (it probably had) but I remember seeing this crazy video with skateboarders (pertinent to my 6th grade interests in a huge way) and this…

Thanks to Whoopi for remembering us Zoroastrians.

Some corners of Reddit would have supplied tricks like, “If someone disagrees with you on the internet, threaten to rape and murder their family, and then post all of their personal details on Twitter!”

Seriously, the Bone collection is what I want to send any friends with kids once they’ve aged out of the Mister Series I’ve sent them.
