Esteemed Friend of the Blog Olivia Walch celebrates her birthday today, and to mark the occasion (as well as to rectify the yawning gap in our “Year of 100 Lists” series), I’ve prepared a quick tribute to Imogen Quest, Olivia’s excellent webcomic. A comic of myths and maths, Imogen Quest has provided me with many a laugh since 2010,…
Small-Screen 66 – #51: Pokémon (Syndication / WB / Cartoon Network, 1998-Present) In my Film Favorites countdown, I briefly considered the question of what constituted the best “video game movie” of all time. But when it comes to TV series, there is no debate. With more than 850 episodes over 18 seasons (and counting), Pokémon is…
About a month ago, the Earn This staff and a few of our friends put together our most ridiculous list ever: a ranking of the numbers 1-10. The criteria was intentionally unspecified, and the results were wonderfully disparate. It made for a fun article and some fun arguments. We had so much fun with it…
We recently ranked the numbers from 1 to 10. Here are the voting results. Ten voters submitted their ranking of the ten numbers. A first place rank received ten points, a second place vote received nine points, a tenth place vote received one point, etc. FINAL RESULTS 10. Six Points: 14 Avg Rank: 8.6 High…
Here at Earn This, we love ridiculous arguments. Perhaps the most ridiculous argument we’ve ever had is: What numbers are best? (This was a particularly amusing outtake from our “Top 5” podcast.) In the spirit of our Year of 100 Lists, we decided to create a definitive ranking of the numbers from 1 to…
I’m excited to announce the Earn This project that I (and my fellow Earn This writers) will be working on in 2015: Has a nice ring, huh? The idea is this: In 2015, Earn This will be publishing, revising, or otherwise highlighting 100 different “lists” of various shapes and sizes. In other words, the “Rank…
Wow. It’s hard to believe that the end is in sight. When I launched “Dan’s Top 100 Everything” back in January, I had a vision of something I could whip up in a couple months, with most articles serving as brief summaries. I even stated that I hoped to publish one article in the series…
CHRISTMAS CLASSICS CALENDAR 2013 – #1: “Jingle Cats” Okay…here’s the deal. I’m really not sure if anyone out there was anxiously waiting for this or not. But here it is. THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THE CHRISTMAS CLASSICS COUNTDOWN! Er…make that “Calendar,” since, as faithful reader Tim Planert pointed out, I always count up. So, I…
Those of you who followed my “100 Film Favorites Countdown” may remember that the posts were updated versions of mini-reviews which originally appeared on my “Facebook pseudo-blog,” Brian Terrill Movie Night. That page in turn initially grew out of a Phi Mu Alpha fraternity event of the same name, which the brothers instituted just to…
To celebrate our fifth birthday, each Earn This contributor is selecting his five favorite things from the past five years. Here are Brian’s picks. 5. “Thneedville” – The Lorax soundtrack, John Powell (2012) God I love this song. I’ve mentioned previously how fiendishly difficult it is to produce a good, feature-length adaptation of a Dr. Seuss…
