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.

Regarding my "Transformers 2" review (and I boldfaced a section a friend really wanted me to highlight):
"Dear Mr.Lindsey,
Hey there, my name is Kimberly Bailey.I went to the midnight showing for the new Transformer's movie last night and read your article this morning. I was just wondering.. have you actually seen Transformer's: Revenge of The Fallen, or are you part of the media that is just not very fond of Michael Bay? Do you actually understand the way that Michael Bay was portraying the world of the Transformer's, or have you gone by what you've seen in other movies, such as your example in your review, Star Trek, and been comparing? Some of your review, to me, was vulgar and unecessary. The part about Megan Fox was completely irrational to the movie itself and should not be put into a review reguarding the quality of a movie. Someone's breast work doesn't relate to transforming machines fighting. If there is a third movie added to the Transformer's, I hope you will possibly have a better view towards it.
Thank You, Kimberly"
No, THANK YOU!
