Culture Blues

What’s going on with Culture Blues?

Dear loyal reader,

If you stopped by Culture Blues recently, you might have noticed that things have gone a bit hinky. In honor of our one year anniversary (thanks for not remembering, BTW), we decided to give our cute little site a makeover. But, whether through the malicious machinations of our sentient website, the complete ineptness of our intern, Ben’s persistent habit of spilling daiquiris on all the computers, or some combination of all three, what was meant to be a simple redesign has created havoc throughout the office.

Our dedicated IT team.

All of last week’s content was deleted from the site. We were able to recover most of the articles with the exception of our review of The American. When we say a discussion is “off-the-cuff,” what that really means is “not saved anywhere.” So, that’s gone. If you missed our thoughts on the badass George Clooney thriller last week, I’ll recap them for you here, in ten words:  moody, visually stunning, quiet suffering, lame tattoo, lots of breasts.

Suck on that, Roger Ebert.

We also lost all of last week’s comments which is a shame because you dummies had a lot of good insight last week. All of the Beatles Top 10 lists Giovanny requested in Clef Notes are gone – and I was just going to start listening to that band, too! Without your recommendations I’ll probably never bother! The discussion of whether or not Jason Bourne is a hitman-in-crisis (answer: he’s not) also bit the dust. Finally, and perhaps most tragically, was the loss of Ackypoo’s comment that he had, in fact, enough tits. Ah, how fleeting the internet. We’ll never have those comments back.

Anyway, this was all just an excuse to link a bunch of last week’s deleted articles, and also today’s brand new Instant Movie Club, in case you missed any of that. The site might look a bit weird over the next few days, just like I used to look weird as a teenager before the HGH and supplements kicked in. But soon, we’ll look better and you’ll want to fall in love with us all over again.

Until then, internet,

Jeff
