Last Friday Popten made it out for Jason Griffin’s screen printing party – the closing festivities to his epic exhibition 80’s Babies: Getting to Know Someone. I had the chance to take a couple of photos, and really focus in on some of his spectacular work. These paintings are…

We are happy to introduce you to Navegante. They were recently showcased in New York Magazine for their musical residency at a fantastic Spanish Harlem bar called Camaradas. They are there Friday and Saturday churning out electro-funk latin beats until 4am. PopTen’s very own Matt Lambert directed their stellar music video, and it premiered for a packed house on May…

Randee Dawn is one of our fellow guest bloggers here on Popten, and she just came out with a new book – The Unofficial Companion to Law & Order SVU. I was lucky enough to be invited to her exclusive signing (and meet some of the people who populate one of TV’s biggest universes). I ended up taking a few…

This last Friday our very own Reynolds and Griffin had their book signing. The Leo Kesting Gallery was full of people, and Ivan Aryee was on the turn tables spinning. Jason Griffin had been up 24 hours a day for the last week putting on the finishing touches of the new exhibit. The art on the walls was a combination…

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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
