Could you please explain what, "that spooky kind of American cheese that makes my skin crawl" means? I'm not taking offense to it, but I am seriously curious.
Goriest? Are you sure that's the descriptive word you want to use? I mean, "I love you, Willy" may be sickening to an adult... but gory? I've always thought gory meant the squirting blood and guts type of movie pleasure. Don't mean to nitpick, but...
I always liked the Far Side drawings without captions, too. I guess you could call them sight gags. My favorite has a high-society lady who has fainted over on a dinner table with a bowl of soup in front of her and a one-eyed mounted moose head above her on the wall. (The other eye is, of course, floating in her soup.)
"I was 16 when Rolling Stone sent me out on the road with the Allman Brothers Band. I spent over two weeks amassing interviews with all the band members and their roadies. The night before I was to leave, Gregg Allman - still mourning the recent deaths of his legendary guitarist-brother Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley - had a late-night vision that the FBI could possibly be using me to investigate his band. He demanded all my tapes back until further notice. I left the tour in an emotional mess and wound up catatonic in the San Francisco airport, where I ran into my then-stewardess sister Cindy. She cheered me up and sent me home. Days later, the tapes arrived at my house with an apology note from Gregg Allman. I never told the magazine. It was my first cover story." Cameron Crowe - Summer 2000
Crowe also wrote a story on Led Zeppelin for "Circus" magazine just a few months before the Allman Brothers story for "Rolling Stone". It was 1973 and he was only 15 years old for both.
Check out the Led Zeppelin story HERE and the Allman Brothers story HERE.
More than anyone else here, you seem to be the most qualified to answer this question Jim. Is the title of "anime" still being used exclusively for Japanese animation. It's so much easier to say and write than "animated movie". Just curious.
Parody/song parody - Weird Al - anything
Guitar Virtuoso - Joe Satriani - "Back To Shalla-Bal"
Heartland Rock (USA) - John Mellencamp - "Rockin' In The USA"
Feminist Rock - Joan Jett - "Bad Reputation"
Jam Band - Allman Brothers Band - "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
Tex-Mex - Texas Tornados - "Adios Mexico"
Yodeling (USA) - Slim Whitman - anything (also kills Martians ;-)
Noise/Experimental Noise - Lou Reed - "Metal Machine Music"
Early Electric Blues - Elmore James - "Dust My Broom"
Modern Acoustic Blues - Keb Mo - "Momma, Where's My Daddy?"
Memphis Blues - Keb Mo - "Last Fair Deal Gone Down"
I really don't know why I keep suggesting examples for you when you don't use them (examples above)... just bored I guess. Anyway here's a few more.
Psychobilly - Reverend Horton Heat
Feminist Punk - Pretenders doing "Tattooed Love Boys"
Garage Rock Revival - White Stripes
Cowpunk or Country Punk (same thing) - Jason and The Scorchers
Rockabilly Revival - Stray Cats doing "Sexy and 17"
Folk Rock - Bob Dylan doing "Like A Rolling Stone"
Detroit Rock - MC5 doing "Kick Out The Jams"
New York Punk - New York Dolls
Funk Metal - Red Hot Chili Peppers doing "Give It Away"
Nonsense Rock or Instrumental Rock - Focus doing "Hocus Pocus"
I'm sure other people could suggest as good as or better suggestions. These are just off the top of my head.
Excellent article, though I couldn't help but notice you didn't include "dramedies" which could include everything from the John Wayne/Gabby Hayes "comic relief" westerns to the mass proliferation of the "buddy" movies over the last 25 years or more. I'd love to read your opinion on that genre if you ever have the time.
Good idea to fill that dead space on the right side, but I would have set the page up with the two columns on either side matching. You could put your message on the right in the same yellow and green boxes (same font & size) or you could change your "search" and "recent updates" boxes to your new style.
Either way, I think matching the side bars may produce a more distinct line between the three columns of text. Just a thought.
Looks like we've got a songwriter in the bunch, which is probably a good alternative view away from the song listening crowd speaking out above, myself included.
Disney's Song Of The South (1942). It's a half live action/half animated movie that may be impossible to find in any form, but it kind of fits your query.
We love you, Willy! LOL

Phew! I don't know what you got, but you sure got it bad. ;-)
Here's a quote from a Cameron Crowe webpage.

Oh what the hell. It's a slow day.

Sorry, I've been making some stupid mistakes lately. "Song of the South" was made in 1946.

I'd say a good melody usually brings me in for a closer listen, but it depends on who it is and how attentive I am when it plays.
