Well, I finally completed the trilogy--no not Gabriel Garca Mrquezs memoir trilogy, that would be impossible. This past year Ive spoken to all three members of the Stella comedy troupe, Michael Showalter, David Wain and now the most visible of all three, Michael Ian Black. This past year has been good to Black. His directorial debut, The Pleasure of Your Company, was one of...

It was truly an honor to get to talk with Chi Cheng of the Deftones. I have been a fan of theirs for many years. The Deftones may be hanging out with the kids on the Family Values Tour but that hasnt made them any less awesome.

American Hardcore is one of the first documentaries to chronicle a very underappreciated form of music, hardcore punk music. As director Paul Rachman and I discuss, hardcore is a form that is unable to be co-opted by the corporations because once such big money is involved, by definition it is no longer hardcore. Paul Rachman is one of those guys that instead of picking up...

i was so excited to see this interview. i remember my first hardcore show like it was yesterday (although in reality i was 14 and got the shit kicked out of me, but I loved it!). Huge fan of DC Hardcore and NY hardcore, bands like Fugazi and Most Precious BLood. I have been depressed lately with societies mainstreaming and sale of everything i love: 'punk' music (PUNK rejects capitalism too), surfing (stop using my sport to sell rollaids!). Recently in my hometown there has been a strong wave to take "The Scene" back to its hardcore roots. fuck dashboard, fuck emo, fuck 'indie rock' , fuck bands like "Greenday" who were once punk but now glorified Rock stars. DYI for life.
oh and where would i be able to see this documentary. i'm so siked.

I find it hilarious that Epstein claims in the intro that Hardcore is "unable to be co-opted by the corporations because once such big money is involved, by definition it is no longer hardcore." Well in that case I guess commercialized punk doesn't exist, because punk "by definition" is not something produced by big corporations. I'm tired of the pretentiousness of "If I do it, it's this genre, but if a big company does the exact same thing, it's different genre because someone I didn't approve did the same kind of music." No it isn't. Genre is defined by musical conventions and styles, not popularity. "My favorite music must always be secret and undrground...or else it doesn't count!" Grow up. If music is good, why care if a big corporation profits? Maybe they'll get the message out to more people, and they can enjoy it too. There are real problems in the world to worry about.
This October 18th a number of SuicideGirls will be appearing on an episode of CSI: NY. This kind of acceptance from such a mainstream narrative television series on a major network truly proves that SuicideGirls has become a significant part of pop culture. The episode truly focuses on the positive aspects of SuicideGirls. They arent just in the background while the main characters are showcased....

I know this is old news but I never heard about it. Very cool. I'm going to see if I can find the episode.

CSI is crap and Suicide Girls is a sellout. Cancel my subscription.
i have gotten quite a few friend requests lately.
yknow these are obviously disingenuous because if you people had read this page of mine you would see that in the area below my username it reads
"also please dont request my SG friendship until you correspond with me. it will languish forever otherwise"

Joe Eszterhaus enjoyed a significant run as the number one screenwriter in Hollywood. He worked on popular films like Flashdance, Jagged Edge, and Basic Instinct, but by the mid-90s he had suffered a couple of major misfires (Showgirls, Jade) and was dealing with some health issues. Eszterhaus stopped working for Hollywood and began penning books. His latest is The Devil's Guide to Hollywood which is...

I too also saw the exhibition in T.O. , Then , I think 2 years later, they also did a Mega-Exhibit, and they had most of his props on display...(Including The Mugwumps) Cronenberg is a very curious man, and I guess you would know firsthand...Lucky Bastard, Have you ever read his book that was done right after they did 'SHIVERS'?? It shows the meager beginnings of in Montreal....
Seriously? No one ever gets it, huh?
Do I win something??
Cheers!

Well, its official: hell has frozen over, the fat lady has sung, and Tommy Chong has quit smoking pot. Apparently after you smoke weed everyday for 50 years and then are forced to quit cold turkey when youre thrown in prison, you lose your taste for it. Hopefully that will never happen to me. I got a chance to talk with Chong about his time...

I'd like to say it's sad that he's quit weed, but instead I'll just say, "good for him." He seems like the same cool cat he's always been and somehow I doubt he'll stop fighting the good fight. It is a shame 'bout Cheech though.
Eric Shanower has taken on one of the biggest jobs in comic books: the comic book serialization of the Trojan War called Age of Bronze. Before he undertook this massive responsibility, he created his first major work, creating new stories based on L. Frank Baums Oz books. Now IDW Publishing has reprinted the majority on his Oz work in a beautiful edition called Adventures in...

Eric Shanower is a god, simply put his work is amazing.
Whether it's his work on Oz, Age of Bronze, or Prez with Brubaker, or An Accidental Death. You can't go wrong.

I read Age of Bronze as a sophomore in high school. His graphic novels took my breath away. I never got past the first few, but I did make a scene at the comic book store when I saw there was one I hadn't read. I look forward to the next 15 years!
so hilariously brilliant.
