I was lucky enough to go to the Glassroots Art Show in Madison, WI this past September. It was a great experience meeting various artist and collectors and definitely something I am already looking forward to next year! These are some pictures I snagged the two separate days I was there.   Got Cap’n Crunk? From Left to Right : Cap’nCrunk/Slinger x2, Capn’Crunk x2, Micro/Cap’nCrunk Collab x2 Micro x...

As the summer air begins to turn crisp we begin to become aware of the fact that fall is coming, and winter soon after. Unlike others who tend to make a big deal out of the summer I prefer to be a hobbyist of the “in-between seasons” as I call them. Around this time of year I usually feel refreshed with a new “spark” persay, which leads me to discover new glass, tv shows, foods, and of course music. Released on...

Just like you I to enjoy kicking back with some functional glass, some snacks, and my buddies to watch a film but what happens after we watch all of those essentials like The Big Lebowski and The Union too many times? Well I’m here to start giving you some recommendations that not only spark your interests but also keep your whole crew entertained.

About a year ago, I’d had enough of people trying to tell me how awesome this show called Trailer Park Boys was, so I decided to sit down and watch an episode. Then another. And another one after that. And then eventually within a month’s time I had just about seen all there was to see of this show. I found something so hilariously liberating about how few fucks were given by the main characters of Trailer Park Boys. Nestled in the...

Few films, today, dare to break-out of the vicious cycle of commercialism and create a daring and original work of art. Gasper Noe’s Enter the Void is one of those few. With its breathe-taking visuals and surreal plot, from start to finish, Void will take you on a wild ride, reminiscent of Alice’s trip through Wonderland. The entire film is shot through a first-person perspective. The audience fills the shoes of Oscar (Nathaniel...

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love anime. My obsession with anime started fairly recently following my trip to Tokyo, I became obsessed with the culture, the food, the language, the landscape, and what interests me most is how much alike our cultures are yet they’re radically different. I believe this comes from their appreciation of their past yet their obsession with the cutting edge, and western culture. I tread...

It is nearly a guarantee that a band rocking a bunch of painted faces holds no talent beneath their masks, and I feared this trend continuing as I sat and watched what seemed to be a ragged crew of hillbilly hipsters setting up their conveniently eclectic gear for a show that I was positive I was gonna regret paying for; but once they kicked off their set and the sound began to grab hold of all those in the room, I quickly realized never...

With Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman trilogy coming to a close this summer, IgniteMe has taken on the job of preparing readers for all the Gotham awesomeness that awaits. As such, it is important to highlight some of the Caped Crusader’s lesser-known filmography. The character of Batman was the collaborative effort of artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. Debuted in Detective Comics #27, the Dark Knight has since made hundreds of...

The IgniteMe Crew is no stranger to America’s vast suburban wastelands. A such, we felt it important to acknowledge a couple of the films that have effectively highlighted the grace and majesty of the ‘burbs. WARNING: Actually visiting the suburbs may cause extreme boredom and suicidal tendencies. American Beauty Kevin Spacey stars opposite Annette Bening, as depressed office drone, Lester Burnham. Feeling the full force of his...

The best part about watching a television series is the depth, depth meaning while as opposed to a movie covering a whole story in just 1-3 hours at the most television shows can last much longer and sometimes can take more than a day to watch to watch a series in it’s entirety. Popular television shows like The Sopranos, Big Love, and LOST keep viewers enthralled in a single storyline for years while the show is airing and when...

Anime is the Japanese abbreviated pronunciation of “animation.” The term’s definition can change depending on its context, but is most commonly used to describe Japanese cartoons. Though the first known anime are dated back to 1917, the signature and beloved style was introduced in the 1960’s by Osamu Tezuka. Tezuka is known from creating such characters as Kimba the White Lion and Astro Boy. The original theme song and opening...

Over the years, post-apocalyptic films have become a specific subset of science fiction cinema. Possessing unique traits and qualities, this new sub genre has lead to classics such as: Mad Max, Logan’s Run, and 28 Days Later. Merriam-Webster defines post-apocalyptic fiction as an “invented work” about or pertaining to events that occur after the “apocalypse” or “a great disaster”. Generally, works of this sub genre use modern...
