There was so much to discuss with Roger Corman that I had to buckle down and focus on just a couple of subjects during our short interview time. I decided to pick marketing which (along with B-horror movies) Corman was the king of in his heyday of the 60s and 70s. There has been a lot of hubbub this year about the idea of internet...

I love Roger Corman. I would not be a filmmaker if he had not first made films.
scoo:
Roger is a cool cat. New filmmakers should get to him and work with him. I'm surprised there has not been a tattoo clad of sexy SG types in a script attempting to release their misunderstood identities..of course, the story would have to be set in a prison, or in Bakersfield.
I have a hunch that many of you SuicideGirls members sit there in your squalor-filled rooms, listening to sad songs with a straight razor pressed against one of your major arteries. Well, Tom Reynolds wrote a book just for you! It is called I Hate Myself and Want to Die: The 52 Most Depressing Songs You've Ever Heard, and if you dont want to kill...

i read this book last year.... i really enjoyed it. even when he made point about the river by bruce springsteen and the fans of the song (it's my fave springsteen track) did i fault him... a funny and intelligent read and a great place to start your "depressing" mixtape up... because someone left the cake out in the rain...

The title is the first line from the book, "Prozac Nation".

It has been a very heady time this past week. Absorbing the newest work of an author like Mark Z. Danielewski can make your head spin. Danielewskis first novel, House of Leaves, became a major cult hit (emphasis on the cult) when it was released in 2000. Since then Danielewski has spent most of his time doing readings and working on his latest opus, Only...

Stretch Arm Strong is one of the best hardcore/punk bands ever!!!! I fucking love these guys, even better yet to hear how real they can be.
Lizzie Borden is the director of Born in Flames, the groundbreaking 80s independent film which introduced the world to a new kind of feminist. Many of the actors in Born in Flames call themselves womanist because as black women they felt that feminist was a word thats been co-opted by white women. Born in Flames was set ten years after a socialist revolution where many...

"What if you combined what SuicideGirls is with a knowledgeable reclamation of the archetypal feminine principal? What you get is something that's entertainment, money making, on the very edge of sex industry, totally cool, fashionable, hot and sexy, and aesthetically interesting, but then also like a female art movement."

Who ever thought that Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio would get into a bidding war over the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft? Thats something even Nostradamus wouldn't have predicted, but it happened. Said bidding war was over the rights to Max Brooks wild new zombie book World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which tips its hat to Studs Terkels...

I finished this book in like one day and then didn't stop talking about it for like 3 days afterwards. It is really well thought out and even though it is about zombies a lot of the social interactions feel very real.

Well, the trailer looks awesome. I read this about a year ago, it's probably going to be a classic.
Man I love this job! After three long years of wooing I finally got a chance to talk with the legendary comedian Al Franken. After many successful years as a standup comedian and Saturday Night Live writer, Franken has released a number of hysterical and popular books such as Why Not Me? and Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot. When Franken released Lies...

Frank Portman is best known as the lead singer/songwriter for The Mr. T Experience but now that hes written his first novel, King Dork, Im sure he wouldnt mind if you referred to him as the next JD Salinger. But thats a non de plume that the main character of King Dork, Tom Henderson, would hate. You see Henderson calls himself King Dork because of...
