If I ever decide to post videos to my YouTube channel, I vow to never (or exclusively) use the "stankface" reaction for the thumbnail.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released.

Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore:

Fascinating look at a relatively short but crucial era in film history. The comparison stills are incredible.

Why don't prohibition-era gangster movies ever have the courage to accurately portray the characters ordering the Candle Salad

Look, nothing against Tom, but you can't match the gravitas of Peter Cullen amping up a hamster.

Suffering does not necessarily make your art better, but as long as you're suffering, you may as well get some art out of it.

Singing along in the car to practice different vocal styles and this round I decided to sing through one of my old faves, Stabbing Westward. Christopher Hall has an underrated dynamic quality that I'm surprised was overlooked as an influence during the later generations of emotive singers.

I'd be OK fighting a holy war on behalf of the libraries.
Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

Why do people get angry when you tell them to torrent things? 98% of ALL media that has EVER been produced isn't going to be on some streaming service. Do you guys not want things bad enough? I get the same reaction when I say "Go to the Library". I think people are just lazy.

Read a comment on one of the tracks off the new Modest Mouse album, from what I assume is an old indiehead, calling them "terrible pop rock".
