I got on the phone with Aline Crumb and I expected to hear a very hardened woman talking back at me. I figured if youre the wife of R. Crumb, who everyone thinks is the worlds worst misogynist, she might be a pretty angry woman. But after speaking with Aline, about the new book The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb, it would be hard to...

Fantastic Interview !! I remember reading Crumb Comics for the first time in an adult comic mag in germany called U-Comics, back when i was in school. That's a such a long time ago

He first gained fame for his comic book strips in The Village Voice and won a Pulitzer Prize for said strips. He has written the screenplays for Carnal Knowledge and Popeye. But his latest project is The Long Chalkboard which is...

The Cars came together at the end of the 1970s just as rock and synthesizers were becoming common, due to the growing popularity of New Wave. The Cars songs were a staple of the radio and their videos garnered numerous awards from MTV. Though the original members of the band broke up in 1988, Ric Ocasek has never stopped creating and producing music. He produced...

Ocasek was such a killer songwriter and producer with The Cars that it's cool to hear of this project coming out.
(FYI, I'm sure it was just a typo, but the thing that mastering engineers do to an album is EQ it, not "queing" - which is no doubt what Ric said. The lifelong audio geek / retired engineer in me had to say this. )
Nice work yet again, DRE!

Few filmmakers have had as interesting a career as Keith Gordon. Gordon first became known as actor in the 80s for films like Dressed to Kill, Back to School and Christine. After ten years in the business, Gordon took a deep plunge with adapting the classic The Chocolate War, which was just recently screened at the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles. Since then Gordon has...

Fuck yeah the Legend of Billie Jean. Fuck yeah!
Nice one. Seems like a level headed guy. I just saw him, around halloween, on show about horror movies. He was talking about Christine, and I was wondering what he was doing these days, why he stopped acting. Now I know. Cool.

It has been a long journey for Darren Aronofsky and his film, The Fountain. This venture has been over six years long but film fans can rejoice because The Fountain is finally being released. It is one of the most emotional and moving films (not just science fiction) I have ever seen. The Fountain is confusing at first but soon you are deeply involved in...

I bought this movie right after it came out, it's completely mind-bending and inspirational. Aronofsky is a genius, so I can't wait to see what his next project will be. Great interview!
moirai:
It's so interesting to read this now after The Wrestler has come out and read him talking about his future project. I feel he really did go back to the Pi style of shooting.
Aronofsky truly is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.

I think they Photoshopped my finger because they wanted to use that image as the preview large & medium and my nipple was peeking out where the finger should have been. I don't know why they bothered though, because I made large & medium previews that were better IMHO. But c'est la vie.

Ya know super heroes usually deny any body pain.... Being serious foot pain sucks... it really does... back in the day I got stepped on by a horse at the tracks left some nasty bruces and made me loose a couple toe nails (TMI?) it was a bad experience...
So i guess i wish you luck in your super hero momments that include severe foot pain

Dame Darcy is best known for her Fantagraphics comic book series Meatcake. But now she has taken on the ambitious project of adding illustrations to the Charlotte Bronte classic Jane Eyre for The Illustrated Jane Eyre. I got a chance to talk with Dame as she was traveling the country doing signings and shows with her band Death By Doll.

In the movies weve all heard Michael Madsen either threaten and kill people but it sounds much different when hes threatening for real. I got a chance to talk with Madsen from his home about the new 15th anniversary DVD of Reservoir Dogs. Apparently Madsens home is a zoo with his five sons and a large collection of animals. When Madsen and I were speaking...

I was at San Diego Comicon for the first time this past summer. When I read that Robert Smigel was going to be there presenting material from the Best of TV Funhouse DVD, I wanted to meet up with him and say hi. I have met Smigel a couple of times in person before but not since our epic interview back in 2004. When I...

No one was more surprised than Weird Al Yankovic himself when his new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, jumped onto the Billboard Top 10--a first for the prolific artist. Straight Outta Lynwood is powered by the hit single White and Nerdy. I spoke with Weird Al about his recent promotional tour for the album.

The nine masked members of Mushroomhead have had a wild ride over these past few years. Now theyve decided to kick up their heels and try to blow themselves up. Their latest album, Savior Sorrow, has been getting some nice radio play, and if hard band like Mushroomhead can make it onto mainstream then this crazy world just might have a chance. I spoke with...
