Just finished book one of Middlemarch and the thing I'm reminded most of so far is the HBO series The Wire. Both stories start off making you think they're about one specific character (Dorothea/McNulty) before expanding out to encompass the whole society that surrounds them.

On the latest episode of my podcast about movies that involve skateboarding in some capacity, GLEAMING THE TUBE, we're discussing Mark Harmon's 1987 masterpiece SUMMER SCHOOL! Not a ton of skateboarding in it, but that doesn't stop Michael and me from getting into the Dave and Chainsaw of it all.

I understand that lists like this are mostly just there for clicks, and I think most of these songs are great but limiting each artist to one song feels disingenuous. Both Prince and Madonna, for instance, could realistically have more than one entry on any "best songs of the 1980s" list.

Mourning the passing of Dolly Parton, one of the greatest songwriters and performers in American history and, by all accounts, a stellar human being to boot. Planet Earth sucks a little bit more without her.

Okay, so I bought a tshirt of the movie The Craft only in the style of anarcho punk band Crass to wear on a Dragon Con panel about witchcraft in film and I think this is in the top five of most nerdy things I’ve ever done.

My other one: my school had a walk-a-thon and I had no friends so tagged along with my brother and some older skateboard kids he knew and they had a boom box and played "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols and I genuinely felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. Didn't know music could do that!

I had a paper route and a walkman and I was experimenting with the left end of the dial where all the college stations were and heard "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M. and ran home, looked up the radio station in THE PHONE BOOK and called the station to ask who did that song.

Having recently read Pride & Prejudice for the first time I was curious to check out the 1995 BBC adaptation with Colin Firth and the great Jennifer Ehle. Gang, I was wholly unprepared for both the quality and the quantity of eye fucking that takes place over the course of the series.

Last night I saw the stage version of Paranormal Activity (directed by Punchdrunk's Felix Barrett) and it was a lot of fun - sound design and stagecraft were astounding, cast was strong (Cher Álvarez was a standout), and the scares were scary. Fun to yell in tandem with a full theater! Go see it.
