4 Reasons Hollywood Sucks (And It's All Our Fault)
Robert Brockway | July 10, 2012

I don't watch movies.

Which is weird, because I really like movies. All throughout my childhood and teenage years, I absorbed films like a chubby, pasty, dateless sponge. I watched everything -- good, bad, horribly good, hilariously bad; Rashomon to Fist of the North Star, Casablanca to The Rocketeer -- and I loved everything I watched. But now, even though my whole job revolves around pop culture and my wife has a stack of free movie tickets as her work's way of apologizing for all of the violence and poop, I cannot bring myself to watch a new movie. I'm not just bitter and jaded, either. Because I understand something people don't want to acknowledge: Hollywood sucks.

And it's all our fault.

A more interesting article would be how Cracked has resurrected itself as the smarmy, foul-mouthed 'Zine for anyone under 50.

I always considered Cracked a poor imitation of Mad Magazine. Which I can't seem to find lately.

We've seen it at Target lately - back where all the magazines are (usually near the electronics department).

My wife knows the artist Sergio Aragones so we often get it just for his work.

Bookstore has it. super expensive though, like 6 bucks a pop. I keep planning to subscribe online and never do. (MAD)

Cracked is no longer printing wide, to my knowledge. All the old satire mags are gone or in limited printing. Mad is dead. Spy is dead. Lampoon is dead. And Cracked exists mostly on the web.

Cracked abandoned the Mad theme about 8 years ago. They're more ... I dunno ... Maxim than anything.
