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.

Another one from the pro-"Transformers 2" crowd (and I am posting this exactly how this guy wrote it):

"To begin Id like to know where you get off calling me and any other movies goers who watches AND enjoys Transformers??Who died and made you Mr Hi-Brow movie critic???And I havnt been hyped into loving the movie.I on my own sought out info about it in anticipation of it and determined it may be okay.ANY movie I go to see has the possibility in the back of my mind that it wont be entertaining.Im not some low-brow senceless movie watcher and am offended you state such.Damn dude its a summer action movie not Hamlet.Gain some perspective here.And whats wrong with a hot chick straddling a motorcycle??Not a thing ,not a darned thing.As for Shia freaking out.......its part of the story but your just to hi-brow to get it.So in closing Mr lindsey.....perhaps you shouldnt worry so much about the publics taste in movies.You need to work on your manners and your movie critic skills(which are sorely lacking from my viewpoint)P.S. Im not some disgruntled kid,Im an educated 54 year old who has been going to the movies since six,my earliest was Godzilla(youll probably find something wrong with that)so with my vast movie experience I bet Id make a MUCH better critic that you."
