Name your favorite Simpsons episode, and there's a good chance Rich Moore directed it. "Cape Feare", "A Streetcar Called Marge", "Flaming Moe's", "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie", Marge vs. the Monorail"… all of these were overseen by Moore. After several… Continue reading
Now that several years' worth of bad press related to the very bad behavior of its athletes and coaches has reached a flashpoint with Michael Vick's federal indictment on dogfighting charges, the NFL will turn once again to that paragon of professional… Continue reading
Do you have like 90 minutes to kill? If so, you’re in luck – IESB.net has put up the entire Masters of the Web panel from San Diego Comic Con. This was the mega-event that sold out Sunday*, the panel that brought together a dozen web writers to talk about… Continue reading
