On a only slightly related note, I just watched a new video on the R+L=J fan theory that's circulating. I'm amazed…

"Serve the Servants" is probably too expansive to include here, as it starts off focusing on Cobain's state of mind at the time ("Teenage angst has paid off well/Now I'm bored and old"), and there was a line about how his parents' divorce didn't actually have much of an effect on him ("That legendary divorce is such a…

Hell I'd even take "Mother" before many of the songs included and it's not even about the right parent for this list.

Yep! This is the first one I thought of, too. She wrote it partly in response to how he himself would use the family as inspiration for his own work without really actually spending much time with them. Amazing lyrics throughout that EP.

And a case of where a single gets a little overshadowed by one of its b-sides: "Like a Friend" is itself such a great song that I often forget that it's "A Little Soul" that was the single. In any case it's about time to give This Is Hardcore another spin.

A.V. Club readers: "There was no vowed revenge! They're using tricks to get us to read their crummy articles!"

Or to create a dialectic between shots. I wish I could pull Eisenstein from out of frame, à la Marshall McLuhan in Annie Hall, and have him explain how the use of montage isn't regulated to teen comedies, romcoms, and Reagan-era military fantasies.

Long takes can work well. Some go-to examples for me usually are the opening shot of Touch of Evil, the club scene in GoodFellas, and the car scene in Children of Men. Of course, I liked Russian Ark, too, so I maybe I should just shut my mouth.

I might have missed it, but is there any consideration for how cuts are often used artistically, not just for the quick cuts of blockbusters? Like in M, when Lang cuts between low angle shots of the tall, brawny guy, and high angle shots of the skinny, short guy to convey the dominance and intimidation of the former…

I hope that I didn't come across as a jerk. That wasn't my intention and it's hard to tell when I'm posting online, versus when I'm having a face-to-face conversation. Like I said, you're not alone.

Well, like brian miller says below, I think it's supposed to take place between 10:30ish and noon. The "Trivia" section on the film's IMDB page has a bit that reads to that effect:

Fixed!

…that some readers originally made for Photoplasty contests for which they received $50 to $200 tops.

I've avoided the videos there ever since I got burned by the first couple I tried. I shall try again.

Gladstone would be on my list. So would Adam Tod Brown and John Cheese. All of them seem to have pretty ardent fans and defenders in the comments section there, however, so my finger obviously isn't on the pulse of the Cracked readership. Meanwhile poor Christina H is routinely castigated for just about everything by…

That's pretty cool. One of the things I hated most about the port for the 2600 (and something that updated version fixes) was that the ghosts were generic. In the arcade version they're each a different color and each have names, and each is programmed to move differently from the others, giving each something like a…

It also violated Atari's (and game companies', in general) policy regarding individual credit for programmers. That's why he set up the room in the first place—to include his signature whereas it wouldn't have appeared otherwise. Pretty cool.

"…confirming fans’ worst fears that producers believe there are six Star Wars movies" made me snort my bantha milk. I hate the prequels. I love O'Neal.

That's John Michael Higgins. Love him. In addition to Prof. Whitman (as in Walt, I'm guessing—a nod to Dead Poets Society), he's done lots of other great stuff. Two of my favorites, however, are Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (he voiced Mentok the Mind Taker, among other characters) and the films he's done with…

That was my favorite part, by far.
