Top Ten

July 23, 2002

1. Wet Hot American Summer
   Certainly the funniest movie from last summer. If you liked The State and/or you're human, you'll love this.
   
   

2. Alex Gopher video
   This video is for his song, "The Child" and the whole video is done with typography. It is amazing. Jenny, this is for you.
   
   

3. Fear of Pop
   This is Ben Folds' side project from the BFF days. I still love it.
   
   

4. Wagamama
   The best restaurant in the UK. A hip, Japanese-style noodle house with good cheap food = unbeatable.
   
   

5. Eternal Darkness
   The best new videogame for Gamecube. After playing for an hour or so I was sincerely frightened to enter my laundry room. Tooooooo dark.
   
   

6. Jukeboxes
   It's like going DJing with another DJs records. A challenge but the success is always sweeter, usually in the form of a brodeo getting down to J-Lo.
   
   

7. Delta Thrives
   A phenomenal graphic story drawn with CG tools that is a pleasure to look at. Like nothing I've seen before. (Warning/Enticement: There is digital nudity)
   
   

8. NYC
   New York City will be my new home in just over a month and I think it deserves a top ten nod for that reason. If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere. Note to self: copyright that phrase.
   
   

9. Asparagus Pot
   Specially designed to cook asparagus by boiling the bottoms and steaming the top, this thing rules. Also good for brocolini. Yum.
   
   

10. Wavebird Controller
    I know, two spots go to nintendo, but it is warranted. This controller makes playing from the couch so much easier. Watch out though, throwing the controller when angry is 3.5x as dangerous.
