Starting things Up

This entry is part 5 of 5 in the series Popten's Events

This is Popten. Eventually this will be a place where you’ll catch up on what is awesome to look at, listen to, and be a part of. Not to mention everyone will have their very own top10 lists to rank just about anything. Unfortunately the programming is taking a while longer than I would have liked.

Recently we met up to discuss Popten, and thought it was high time we started blogging. Time to get our chops down, and figure out who is doing what kind of thing. So, I created this really crappy looking blog. Mostly because the real design is on the way, and no one is going to get attached to the way this looks.

Things start out really grassroots right? For the most part we’re all living off of pennies, side jobs, and gusto. A lot of us have some artistic talent… but it’s still not fully realized as of this date. Here and there we’re all catching buzz in our own ways. I think that’s all a part of what makes us good.

Once the blogging gets going… I’ll take down this post. I just need a little filler so I can test this out.

The Future of Information

Matt Ellsworth and I met while making Second Skin, a documentary I directed on virtual worlds. He’s one of the boys from Indiana who loves to game. Our conversations over the years have led to a few things, one of them was finding a common love for Johnnie Walker Black Label, and the second was a penchant for postulating about…

Top Ten Geek Anthems: the Geekiest Songs in the Universe

The geek have officially inherited the Earth, as was prophesied in Psalms 37:7 (more or less) so many bearded men ago.  It’s a fairly recent thing, having happened somewhere between Google’s ascent to ubiquity, the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the eyebrow-raising popularity of Weird Al’s White & Nerdy. And since history is told by the…

Condescending Creature Smackdown: Ewoks vs. Na’vi

How much does James Cameron ride George Lucas’ dick? Only enough to base an entire movie, Avatar, on the final battle sequence from the last good film in the Star Wars franchise, Return of the Jedi. Each film has its ragtag band of native creatures, each film pits basic bush weaponry against mechanized slaughter machines, each film has exploding trees.…

Top Ten Television Shows of the Decade

Come with me, friends, to another time. Let’s say 1998ish. Ross and Rachel rule the airwaves, ER is hailed as the Best Drama Evar. As the sun sets on Seinfeld, critics mourn its passing, proclaiming that we’re not likely to see a show of its brilliance ever again.

I watched an episode of Seinfeld yesterday. It’s still funny, despite the canned…

Top Films of the Decade

I sincerely hope I made every attempt to be fair and honest and if I left off a film you love, please know that it was not with malice and there are only ten spots.  I even split them into two genres because taking any of these off the list kind of made my heart hurt.  Also, feel free to…
