Paste and Culture
2008 November 7
Paste Editor, Josh Jackson’s editorial is worth reading again. The more I read by this guy the more I’d like to sit down with him over a cup of coffee. An excerpt:
Nothing is worse than watchig a movie (like say, 10,000 BC–damn you with your enticing CGI saber-toothed tiger) and then wishing I had those two hours of my life back…At Paste, we see it as our job to help you discover entertainment pertinent to your search—not to serve as a replacement for your own story. I believe we were put on this earth to help redeem it. The best music, film, and culture will do you no good if you’re buried under it. Become a wise consumer of culture. Or better yet, become a creator of it.
The saber-toothed intrigued me too; been wanting to see it ever since the preview showed that beast. Never saw it, though.
Since you mentioned Paste on this blog, I have been browsing it when in bookstores. I like.
Lame film. Great to hear, Casey. It’s a good one.
