The Show


Well, FilmCrunch is finally up and running. I can't tell you how happy that makes me, as Veronica and I have just completed episode 5. Consequently, things may seem a bit behind right now, but we should be caught up soon. Please check out the site and the show and leave comments - go easy, it is only the first episode. We will be updating once a week with reviews of new films, old films, DVD releases, top fives, and a whole lot more. Drop us a line and don't forget to tell your friends!

    The Official Snack Of Hip-Hop


    Oh, snap! What better way to capture the true essence of hip-hop than with a bag of greasy potato chips?

    Why haven't I seen these in the 10+ years they've been on the market?

    Does anyone else think it's funny that white people are sometimes referred to as "crackers"? There's irony there somewhere, right?

    I have so many questions. Most notably, "Why?"

    The Open Letter: Bus #43


    Dear Ms. 43,

    My name is Neil Estep. You may not know me, but we’ve met on several occasions, informally. In fact, I’ve been inside you - deep, deep inside you - but perhaps that still doesn’t register. This comes as no surprise, however, since the number of people having similar encounters grows exponentially even I as write. I have heard rumors of skateboards, duffel bags, and even dogs sharing this experience. I do not wish to upset you, only to state a fact: you are a dirty, dirty whore.

    Now, as we all know, a whore is a whore and anything less is not. There is no such thing as a part-time whore or an occasional whore. A whore with scruples practically defines contradiction. You see, in allowing a person to be inside you - often multiple times per day - a relationship is built, one that is understood by both parties. An unwritten contract is formed that, when applied appropriately, lays out one simple rule: when we agree to meet, you will show up, open your doors, and take me for a ride. I’m offering to pay, so what’s going on?

    It is understood that from time to time things may arise that prevent your timely arrival. In such cases, I’ve given you plenty of slack. I know you have many appointments to keep. Alas, you've now continually stood me up, frequently making me quite late, and I don’t know what to do. Today alone, I waited almost an hour. I could’ve picked up a different bus, but I stayed because we have history.

    In all seriousness, stop making me late for school. It’s my second week and I have enough on my mind. Also, in all seriousness, you’re still a whore.

    Sincerely,
    Neil Estep
