...decades. There was a four-film stretch of genuine stinkers - Small Time Crooks, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Hollywood Ending and Anything Else - followed by one, Melinda and Melinda, that rose to the level of eh. And since this quintessential New Yorker exiled himself to Europe (where his fondest admirers live, and where the money for his pictures now comes from), he'd made a suave sex-and-murder mystery, Match Point, and two that deserve to have the veil of anonymity drawn over them, so I won't mention their titles.

Kids today may have similar memories to cherish as they get older, but they'll probably also have a few others that didn't exist in the pre-Internet era, when I was coming up: "Thanksgiving Screensavers," for example, or "Thanksgiving Day Excel Templates" and "Thanksgiving MySpace profile themes."

It could represent the reclaiming of pre-adolescent fetishes ... or savvy financial speculation ... or an appreciation of vigorous popular artistry? To form these as questions: Can adults escape the fondest memories of childhood? Can a price be put on them? Can trash art be transformed to high...
...while some of my fondest memories are based around video games, it's the people involved that I remember the most. Even with WoW, my best times were spent playing with my younger brother. We lived five hours apart, and saw each other only a few times a year. But when we were online, it was almost as if we were sitting in the same bar, presiding over the same pitcher...
