They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!

It's funny how people can take these seemingly throw-away lines in film and TV and turn them into these little "sensations" that become small pop culture milestones.

I remember this, though it was never one of my favorites, it definitely had its time in the spotlight. For me, my favorite early memes were the Nums Numa guy and Strongbad. But what is interesting is that now we have more than one generation of Internet users and the most recent generation does not even necessarily know about or remember memes and social movements of the previous generation of Internet users. In other words, now we have generational internet culture, and myriad subcultures for that matter.

Yeah, I love me some Homestar Runner.

Right now, my thing is Internet reviewers. I like seeing rather ordinary people put into words what I can't/don't/won't about aspects of popular culture. Most of it deals with film and video games - a nostalgic look at the past and all its flaws, though there's also quite a bit of modern analysis as well.

Primarily, I pay attention to a site called Channel Awesome (formerly ThatGuyWithTheGlasses), which is something of a collaborative community covering all types of media, and a few of their affiliates, such as Cinemassacre, not to mention YouTube "celebrities" like JonTron, Peanut Butter Gamer and Kyle Kallgren. In nearly all cases, it's a mix of regular reviewing and sketch comedy, sometimes in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000. CAUTION: Also in most cases, being free from certain restrictions, the language can get pretty raunchy - lots of f-bombs and such are tossed around pretty nonchalantly. If you ever wish to check them out, just be prepared.

Speaking of internet collaborative communities. I remember that you were not bad with a pencil/pen when it came to drawing. Do you still draw?

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Not really, I'm afraid. I can probably do al little bit, but I haven't made any big progress. Three-dimensional art has always been a stumbling block for me.

Hmm. . . Would drawing a picture of the inside of an old cottage / village house full of books and artifacts be graspable?

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Maybe. It wouldn't look as good as others' work (and it would probably look a lot nicer in my head than in reality), but I could try something.

Or I can find some stock image somewhere on the Internet.

Perhaps both, just to be safe.
