Yeah, but he was also the host of a blazingly popular children's program where he played an overgrown manchild when he got busted for the wanking. I'm not saying it's right, but he got a scarlet "Pedo" attached to him. There's a reason it took 25 years for him to get another PeeWee property off the ground.

There was no Real Eleanor guys.

Reading this piece and watching this scene puts me right back into one of the strangest afternoons of my life. I was 15, maybe 16, and my friend Robbie and I were looking for a drummer to join our (terrible) band. This would have been in the late '90's. I cannot remember this guy's name, but he had a drumset so we…

It is. I couldn't make Mononoke.

I saw a showing of Castle in the Sky on a 35mm print, in Japanese with English subtitles. The local arthouse is doing a Ghibli retrospective. It was awe inspiring, and the train chase at the beginning of the film was unforgettable. They're showing Spirited Away on the 13th, and I'll be there with bells on.

Why didn't Inspectah Deck get more love? I know he's like the 5th best member, but that still makes him an all time great. So I don't understand why he was left out of Wu-Tang's Phase 1 albums.

I enjoyed this article immensely because now I know that S&P didn't write "Push It," which I've never thought was a very good song. But it makes my baby laugh, so maybe I'm totally wrong.

But I grew up in the late '90's. Music that I listened to as a teenager (Korn, Limp Bizkit, Orgy for God's sake) also sucked. And I remember when I first saw the video for "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" and I thought, distinctly, that it would also be the last time I saw it because it was awful.

I don't think it will ever be dated at all. For one, it's set in an indeterminate future. For two, its themes will resonate as long as there are sentient beings, even if AI laps the movie.

God, there is no more meaningless, empty thing anyone can say than calling a piece of art "overrated," especially a popular piece of art, because it conflates opinion with truth. So Becca didn't care for Cabin in the Woods. Fine. That's her prerogative. But saying that the people who do like it are wrong and…

I didn't think it was about the dangers of the 24 hour news cycle so much as it used that trapping to tell a story about the dangers of unfettered capitalism.

How is nobody throwing any love at Carol Kane? Every word out of her mouth was hilarious.

Without rules, narrative doesn't work. It's Iñárritu saying "Look at how awesome this is." And he's right, it was AWESOME! But it's still a tonally confused and ultimately empty mess, despite the astounding visual and technical brilliance.

Because it's thematically and tonally confusing. Nothing wrong with relieving tension. Everything wrong with breaking your world's rules to do it.

I had exactly the opposite reaction to both films. I found Birdman to be flashy and fun to watch, but ultimately thematically empty. (Oh, it so hard to be an artist, and superhero movies are ruining art). Boyhood, on the other hand, I found moving and rich to the point of tears, and wanted it to go on forever, even if…

He'd have landed a lead role on a critically and commercially successful network sitcom?
