Aliens and Terminator 2: Judgement Day
- 1 Nov 2016
- These beloved sci-fi movies combine action and suspense. They also work as horror movies: the basis of each story is the protagonists' isolated struggle to survive against now-iconic monsters.
Jamiroquai – “Virtual Insanity”
- 19 Aug 2016
- This music video is timeless because of its visual trickery. The minimalist set and the improvised dancing are memorable, too. The song turns 20 today, but its message never grows old.
The Fugees – “Killing Me Softly”
- 1 Jun 2016
- Twenty years later, the sights and sounds are still great.
NBA history, 20 years in the making

- The NBA had a doubly historic night on the 13th of April. Two landmarks capped the regular season, and both of them originated in 1996.
The 2006 Rose Bowl
- 11 Jan 2016
- The famous showdown between USC and Texas is the best football game and the best championship game that I have ever seen. Thinking about it 10 years and a week later is the definition of nostalgia.
V has come to
- 31 Aug 2015
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will finally be in stores tomorrow. I think I'll buy a PS3 copy on its launch day, but in any case, the game marks the apparent end of my favorite series, period.
NFL 2K5
- 21 Jul 2015
- This game is worth remembering because of its excellent presentation and cool innovations that hold up after all these years. A fateful business deal by its competitor means that NFL 2K5 is the last of its series.
Bush – Sixteen Stone
- 26 Jun 2015
- Almost 19 years ago, I got Sixteen Stone. It's the first album I've ever owned and I can still see and hear it, in more ways than one.
Green Day – “When I Come Around”
- 5 Jun 2015
- Two score and however many days ago, I listened to and then wrote about a song that sort of changed my life.
