As people started considering the Internet as a valid source of news and facts, some worried that crackpot theories and perspectives would easily […]
Despite what the critics say, I found Freddy Got Fingered quite entertaining. At the very least, it was… surreal:
The unfocusedly weird Gordon Brody (played by the equally weird Tom Green) couldn’t find success as an animator because he placed no limits on his creativity (or “creativity”). That changed when Gordon came up with a concept […]
The problem with popular styles—like the famous wet-floor look—is that everyone wants to do them.
