'Goonies' Reunion Worthy of a Global Truffle Shuffle → blogs.nypost.com

schlomo:

Between Goonies and Lucas, I grew up with the biggest crush on Kerri Green.

Josh says: Data/Short-round is all grown up — but his voice is exactly the same! And Chunk is skinny!! Also it’s important to note that I will reblog anything that has to do with the Goonies.

“I watch TV entirely via my DVR. Which means I mostly watch the series I like and occassionally special events I have heard about. But PBS has very few scripted series. Its best programming is documentary series like “Frontline” and “Nova” that are entirely different every week. I only watch those when I know I’m specifically interested. Which means I probably hear about it after the fact. That makes it the perfect on-demand programming for digital platforms.” —Variety,  PBS takes a big leap forward in online video and reaches a much younger audience

Eulogy for the Boombox - NPR → npr.org

The documentary short is especially good, and includes Fab 5 Freddy. Mostly focuses on the boombox as it relates to urban youth-culture, but totally misses the suburban “Say Anything” reference!

“

But online? Suddenly, PBS has become a totally different animal, leapfrogging NPR’s Web site and then some. As part of an ambitious new redesign, set to debut in May, your dad’s Public Broadcasting Service launched the re-imagined PBS Video yesterday morning. It is fantastic. Easy to use. Modern. Flashy. (But not Flash-y, thank god.) It does everything that Hulu does, but it’s loaded with all that important, intelligent programming that you forget to DVR, all in near-DVD quality. Missed that Frontline last week (or last year)? They’ve got upwards of three years of programming available online, all set up in a giganto database that’s also searchable by topic.

Forget the canvas bags, PBS. This is what we’ve wanted all along.
