New CB1?

Brandon Cisse looks like he’s pulling away in the CB competition.

The Pack keep rotating Nixon, Valentine, St-Juste and others around, but Cisse has basically been the constant with the 1s since Day 4. And it’s not just because of injuries... he keeps holding up against starting receivers and making plays.

At this point, it feels less like “can Cisse win a starting job?” and more like “who starts opposite him?”

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is in theaters today for Texas Chain Saw Day: who’s going?

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is returning to theaters today, August 18, for a one-day screening of the restored 4K version.

The date isn’t random. The events of the original movie take place on August 18, 1973, so this is basically the perfect day to see Tobe Hooper’s classic on the big screen.

I’ve seen it plenty of times at home, but this feels like one of those horror movies that has to hit differently in a dark theater with a crowd.

Anyone else seeing it today?

This is what the transition from the ’80s to the ’90s sounded like

On February 24, 1990, Technotronic brought “Pump Up the Jam” to Saturday Night Live and turned Studio 8H into a dancefloor.

The 1989 house/hip-house crossover had already become a global smash, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 in the UK. It also topped the US Dance Club chart.

Looking back, this specific performance feels like a time capsule of the moment dance music was breaking out of the clubs and into the mainstream. The ’90s were about to sound very different...

Superbad was released 19 years ago today. Did it accurately capture being a teenager in the 2000s?

Superbad came out on August 17, 2007, and I think part of why it still works is that underneath all the ridiculousness, it captured that era of being a teenager surprisingly well.

Trying desperately to get invited to parties, awkward crushes, depending on your friends for basically everything, and making elaborate plans that immediately fell apart. It also came out right before smartphones and social media completely changed how teenagers socialize, so it now feels like a little time capsule of the 2000s.

Matt LaFleur: "We need Corners that are willing and capable tacklers."

Matt LaFleur made it clear what the Packers value as the competition at Cornerback continues: guys who can and will tackle. With starting spots still up for grabs, physicality and reliability in the open field could go a long way toward determining who separates themselves in Green Bay’s secondary.

That could be bad news for last season’s starters, Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, who have both had their share of tackling issues at times.

What’s your favorite sci-fi horror movie?

In honor of The Fly turning 40 today and Event Horizon turning 29, I figured this was as good an excuse as any to talk sci-fi horror. It's probably my favorite subgenre.

They’re two of my all-time favorites, but it’s such a ridiculously deep genre. Alien, The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Annihilation, Possessor, Sunshine, The Blob, Under the Skin… you can go in a lot of different directions.

What’s your favorite sci-fi horror film? Do you like or dislike the subgenre?

'Paranormal Activity' starts Broadway previews tonight. What horror movie would work well as a stage play?

A stage adaptation inspired by Paranormal Activity begins Broadway previews tonight, which sounds strange at first... but honestly, horror and theater might be a pretty great fit. Limited locations, darkness, sound design, practical effects, and making the audience feel trapped in the same space could all work incredibly well live, I bet.

What horror movie would you most want to see adapted for the stage?

I feel like 1408, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, or The Invitation could be fantastic with the right production.

What’s the most productive thing you’ve done while stoned?

Like you get high fully intending to do absolutely nothing, and then three hours later you’ve deep-cleaned the fridge, reorganized a closet, fixed something you’ve been ignoring for six months, whatever.

What’s the most productive thing high-you has randomly decided needed to happen right now?

P.S. Written while completely zonked out of my mind in my freshly cleaned garage.

The Vibes on Defense Are Immaculate Right Now

I have to admit that I was a Jonathan Gannon hater when the hire happened. I thought he was corny, wasn’t sold on the fit, and honestly I was probably just salty about losing Jeff Hafley.

Since then, though, I’ve been really impressed. He’s been great in pressers, brings a ton of energy, seems to connect well with the players, and they already look comfortable with what he’s asking them to do. The defense has also been showing some really interesting, exotic looks in camp.

Way too early to declare the hire a win before they play an actual game but so far, so good.

Musical millennial problems...

Hearing someone casually say “how bizarre” and immediately having to fight the urge to go, “How bizarre, how bizarre…”

There are certain phrases that just aren’t normal words anymore. They’re song lyrics permanently burned into my brain.

What’s another completely ordinary phrase that instantly triggers a song for you?

What’s something you stopped forcing yourself to do?

One of the harder things for me has been realizing how much of my life I spent trying to make myself seem easier, more normal, less difficult, less noticeable.

I forced eye contact even when it made it harder to actually listen. I wore clothes that bothered me because I thought being uncomfortable was just part of looking presentable. I went to social things when I was already exhausted, answered messages before I had the energy, ate things I hated so I wouldn’t seem picky, and tried very hard not to let anyone see how much I depended on routines or how badly sudden changes could throw me off.

A lot of it didn’t even feel like masking at the time. It just felt like being a person "correctly." What’s something you finally gave yourself permission to stop forcing?
