Uncle Crizzle
Uncle Crizzle (originally Uncle Crizzle's Wide, Wild World of Pop; don't know when the name change happened) is a pop-culture blog I think some of you read. Whatever stuff that's happening in contemporary arts and entertainment that I find either great or goofy, I write a post and somebody out there gets a kick of it.
And now, for the first time ever, where the name "Uncle Crizzle" came from:
For some reason, when I started working here, I kept referring to myself as "Uncle Craig" in e-mails. During a dessert-filled, staff get-together, when somebody gave me one of those stick-on, blank name tags, I wrote "Crizzle." (Fans of "Chappelle's Show" may get the reference.) When N&O interactive came calling about doing a blog, I figured since no one is who they say they are online, why not call myself by another name. And that's when "Uncle Crizzle" was born.

C. Thomas Howell + Blackface = The Future!
"In 1986, pundits laughed at—not with—the race comedy 'Soul Man,' about a white college student who performs a Black Like Me charade to get into Harvard Law School. The film’s emphasis on spotlighting, then upending, racial stereotypes was widely misread as improbable, unnecessary, and 'racist.' Yet two years later, in 1988, Barack Obama entered Harvard Law School, and the rest is history."
Seriously, folks, you have to read this.

The future is here
Mon, 10/19/2009 - 22:13 — hanktrotterLol.. whoa that's pretty insane how the movie actually predicted the future. Maybe we should watch more of his movies to see what comes to pass. It seems there will never be an end to this racial divide and the more people talk about it the worse matters always become. Sad but true. At least Harvard is still putting out some quality people.

Downey plays one of a team
Wed, 08/26/2009 - 23:42 — HankfreidDowney plays one of a team of self-indulgent stars cast in the modern equivalent of Apocalypse Now testking 000-965. Stiller plays an action hero who has just adopted a baby from Asia but worries that ”all the good ones are gone testking 000-973.” Black portrays a comedian known for performing multiple roles in a single film — his latest is called The Fatties: Fart 2. But when the film’s director (Steve Coogan) and writer (Nick Nolte) get fed up with their prima donna cast, they drop them into the jungle to fend for themselves testking 000-974. The actors think they’re doing some sort of full-immersion filmmaking, but the danger they’re in is very real.
