Some time near the dawn of the world wide web, I met Dan Lybarger at a film festival in Kansas City and offered to host his movie reviews on tipjar.com. He thought that was a good idea and uploaded many there over the years.

This directory is now an archive of those articles. His current online publications can be found here.

A lot of the links -- to dead advertising schemes and such -- are dead, this archive may be interesting to students of web design. Dan's movie reviews in 1996 really were state-of-the-art for that year, and they are here.
