Alvy: Not exactly the notoriety that catapults someone to global superstardom. We can talk about talent and social networking skills all day, she would never have been a global name/brand/whatever without the John Lennon thing. Sure, I can imagine an alternate world where she latched onto another big shot…

Star Wars was supposed to just be fun classic pulp. The mistake Lucas made was thinking there was more to it in the prequels. The early trilogy worked fine as a throwback, just like Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was never supposed to be deep or about ideas. The reason the whole franchise now sucks is people, including…

Yeah, I think that's fair. I've certainly known quite a few over-the-hill cretins clinging to their metal youth.

Given that most of the active metal subculture are people in their teens and twenties, I'd say your assessment is probably dead wrong. Sure there are a lot of older metal fans who were active in the 1980s and 1990s, but there's always a fresh crop of kids into it. It's kind of odd to me that someone would come to this…

I dunno, I wouldn't mind having his respectable wealth, security and a once-decent filmography (around 1987). But then I'd have to be a jerk with fast approaching senility and death. Yeah, I guess on balance, I'm glad I'm not Chevy Chase.

The only problem with this article is that it uses the term "hipster" to catch reader interest. Some of her points about the cultural moment are very pointed and well taken, and there's more to what she's saying than "ironic pop culture obsession is bad." Unfortunately, using "hipsters" and theit cultural signifiers…
