The Egyptian meaning of Heru is "Sun God" and Ptah was one of Egypt's earliest Gods associated with creation and the arts. So it is perfect that a man named Heru Ptah has chosen to enlighten the world and the hip-hop world in particular with the release of his book A Hip-Hop Story from MTV Books.

Its the story of two young MCs named Flawless...

Many consider people like Dean Koontz and Stephen King the premiere horror fiction writers in the world. But all that money couldnt stop a car from running King over. Anyway no one has won as many awards for horror fiction as Ramsey Campbell. Clive Barker has called him a "master of dark fantasy plus his books still scare the shit out of me.

Since the...

Campbell is up on that Peter Straub level. Better than Barker, for sure; and Barker is so much better than King, it's not even funny. I like Campbell's short fiction better than his novels, though.

I could not agree more. His short stories are the BEST horror tales PERIOD. His novels, IMO, are terrible. If you've not read any of his work, read his short stories, skip the novels.

A lot of fans of Dillinger Escape Plan were understandably upset when Dmitri Minakakis left the band and they found a fan, Greg Puciato, to replace him. I remember one friend of mine said This isnt Judas Priest. Who the fuck is this guy? But after two years of touring he proved to be a more ample replacement, in fact on a lot of message...

I swear, I get so excited when I see Greg on something like this! I am good friends with Greg, no bullshit, and he's an awesome guy. He's funny as shit and smart as hell. I always say Greg is his own person. He definitely marches to the beat of his own drummer, and being in DEP proves that. Love ya Greg!
thedynamicaura:
i love dillinger, and greg has proven to be an amazing addition to the band, the past few live performances i have seen have proven to me what a great artist he truly is! he definatly has the ape traits though hahaha, he flails around all crazy, but then again the rest of the band does as well, thats part of their live "magic" if you will. anyways just wanted to say a few words about the best band ever. dillinger forever muahaha. biggrin

I can't make another pic my profile pic.

I checked out the burlesque show last nite in NYC. It was fun but super packed. I didn't know there were two bands playing first.

The show was a bit tamer than I thought it would be. They did dance to one of my fave song, "You had plenty money 1922..." by jessica rabbit.

The last bit...

You're welcome. And I'll take your word for it on The Lovers- all I know about sex is what I see (or have created for) in the movies. Btw, do you get to see advance screenings or go to Premieres? I thought that wasn't out till Friday? And yes, Bertolucci's amazing in regards to cinematography.

Yeah Caddyshack is a classic. I was just talking to Maddy about a couple of other favorites from back in the day- Spaceballs and The Naked Gun. I don't think about comedy enough. But I once wrote a screenplay, still unproduced (by me- I'd never sell a script I wrote), in that same vein called The Naked Fu, a Kung-Fu comedy- but not long after that, Cris Farley's karate movie came out (when he was still alive, obviously).

Have you ever seen that show Dinner For Five on the Independent Film Channel? It's a bunch of actors sitting around 'talking shop' over dinner- I like it alot. It's on every Monday at 9PM and 11PM, and repeats a few other times during the week. I saw this week's episode last night, it has Vince Vaughn being kind of a dick to some of his fellow actors- it was so much fun to watch, one of the best episodes of that show I've seen- catch it if you can...

Cheers,


Alexander

Yeah, I haven't seen Made yet. For a filmmaker, I rarely even see films these days, ironically enough- at least not in the theater. I think I might pick up that David Cross DVD now, though. I'm not even in town now, but I try to make it to the Anjelica whenever I can- though it's been quite a while. Incidentally, regarding interview shows, I also like 'At The Anjelica' on IFC; and catch the current episode of 'Dinner For Five' when it replays this week, if you haven't already seen it. I'd like to see the one with Peter Falk, I don't think I saw that episode. Reminds me of my favorite movie of all time- Wings Of Desire. Also, regarding interviewers, my favorite is Charlie Rose- ever watch that? I'm not into politics, but he's fabulous with his entertainment guests. Someone else who's a great interviewer (but it's been several years since I've seen him do anything, since he mainly does sports personalities, and I'm not into sports at all, save for the very occasional Knicks game or Boxing match) is Bob Costas. Back when he was the original host (Carson Daly does it now- it's on real late at night- but it's an entirely different show) several years ago, Later With Bob Costas was by far the best interview show on television- just one-on-one, like Tom Snyder's old show, but much more intelligent (Tom Snyder's slot in late night television is now occupied by Craig Kilborn, whom I like too, but for completely different reasons). Anyway...

The Dreamers is truly a film for cinephiles. Any film where an American, a twin brother and sister watch films at one of the best arthouses in the world and then go back to their apartment for sex is truly every film geeks dream. But though The Dreamers may sound seamy it is certainly one of the most beautiful and touching films you will see...

Didn't read the whole interview just the final Brando comments. I don't really keep up with the medium of cinema anymore (computer guy) but I do remember loving the hotel in Last Tango, Brando, that old prostitute, the girl , wedding, final incredible tango scene - roaring screaming subway. Last Tango in Paris. maybe it was. time will tell.

David Cross is an essential part of the collective American comedy consciousness. Cross is one of the many talented people who, like a phoenix, rose from the ashes of The Ben Stiller Show to become a significant force in comedy. He teamed up with former Ben Stiller Show cast member/writer Bob Odenkirk for a series of stage shows named Mr. Show, which eventually was brought...

The most interesting thing about talking to the surviving members of the seminal British comedy troupe Monty Python is that you find that they are very much intellectuals. It may be hard to believe that the men that exposed their bums, dressed as very ugly woman and did some of the silliest things imaginable on national TV, then international TV, and also as a series...

First and foremost David Prete is a storyteller. Whether he does that by acting, playwriting or fiction he is very good at what he does. His first collection of short stories has just been published by W.W. Norton & Company and its called Say That To My Face. If it sounds a little like what a tough guy would say its because Prete grew up...
