Freezepop are the Gametap Artist of the Month. There's some cool video stuff with them playing Rock Band, their clip for Less Talk More Rokk, and so on.

Click here.

I love Freezepop. I just saw them here in SF a few months ago and it was pretty much the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on. If they come to your town, go see them. And go buy their new album Future Future Future Perfect while you're waiting, it is really great.

That is all.

I met Jeff G way back in 1996 when I started working for GameSpot. We never worked in the same department, and we never hung out all that much, but after 10 years you get used to passing someone in the hall, and nodding as if to say "yep, we're still in this thing together." I always read and watched his contributions to the site, and I enjoyed them immensely. Clearly this was a guy who had passion for the product (which is something we always emphasized as paramount - when I was interviewing people I always asked them if they played games, what games they liked, what they liked about them.)

I no longer work at CNET, and I don't know any of the facts about what happened. All I do know is this mess of undignified rumor-mongering and press releases does a disservice to a great guy and a unique voice. I'm pretty sure he will bounce back from all of this but in the interim, it still sucks.

Jeff, you deserved better.

The Simpsons Movie
I've been watching The Simpsons on TV since day one, which means all of my adult life. As a cultural touchstone and phenomenon, the movie had an impossible standard to live up to. Fortunately it acquits itself very well. It's not the funniest...

Transformers
It was exactly what I expected: loud, dumb, and full of explosions and shaky-cam. If that's what you want, and you are still in touch with your inner 13-year-old boy self then you will be entertained. If you're looking for plot, character or...

The Hudsucker Proxy
"You know, for kids!"

After Fargo became a huge commercial and critical hit for the Coen Brothers, they teamed up with uber-producer Joel Silver (The Matrix), who gave them tons of money and a carte blanche to do whatever...

Brazil
One of the greatest films ever made, this is a dazzling tour de force of visual imagery, and paranoid Kafka-esque fantasy. A sweeping swashbuckling romance played out against a backdrop of totalitarian oppression, German impressionist...

24 Hour Party People
This is of course based on the true story of Tony Wilson, Factory Records, and the Hacienda, all central to the Manchester music scene of the late 80's/early 90's. Directed in a gritty fly on the wall style by Michael Winterbottom, it is a...
