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.

This CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION Is For The Children! (Just Like Ol' Dirty Bastard!)
Are you a parent having trouble picking movies you and your offspring can see together?
On today's edition of the Condition, I talk to a guy who knows that situation all too well. His name is Lance Mannion, the arts-and-culture blogger whose regular-guy expertise I have called on for an article or two. We discuss the difficulties that come with finding the right movie for adults and their children, especially when the children are beginning to mature and acquire cinematic tastes of their own. We also discuss Mannion's rather sensible movie-reviewing style — most notably, his takes on "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" and "Night at the Museum 2." Those reviews almost make me want to see those movies — almost. You can also download it here.
