IvanBrunetti creates some of the sickest and funniest one panel comic strips in his book Haw that I have ever read. His deconstructed style makes it seem like a Family Circus strip gone mad. Some of my favorites include a captionless image of a man sitting naked on the floor with a gun clicking empty at his penis. On his penis is a hand puppet...

I can't believe nobody else has commented on this article. If you are deeply depressed and terminally bitter, the best thing you can do for yourself is to find some of this guy's work. It won't make you feel any better, but you *will* know that you're not the only person out there who is just as far beyond the point of no return. In addition to that, the art work itself is wonderful; very spare, clean lines, elegant. This guy deserves a wider audience, but having met the man once, I'm quite positive attention is the last thing he wants.
Peter Chung became very popular with the stoners back in 1991 when MTVs Liquid Television premiered the animated Aeon Flux shorts. Since then Chung created the half hour Aeon Flux show, directed the Matriculated segment of The Animatrix and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury.
For the past year Chung has spent his time collecting and remastering all the animated Aeon Flux material into one...

Over the past decade or so Lisa Crystal Carver has made an industry out of Drugs Are Nice with an album, a DVD and now a book subtitled A Post-Punk Memoir.
The book now out from Soft Skull Press chronicles Carvers life in the band Suckdog, her major problems with her family and of course, lots and lots of drugs.

I saw Lisa at the DC book show. Dame Darcy was also there; I wrote to, and bought stuff from, both of them a lot over the 1990s.
Lisa was not kidding about the tour; people performed parts of the book (her life story). At the show I went to, it was the scene where she cuts herself in Costes's Paris apartment. The blood special-effects were provided by Heinz; I've never been in a room that just REEKED of ketchup before. I believe Darcy played the spirit of death, or a ghost, or something. The guy playing Costes had a superb French accent.

I dont think Supergrass fans ever thought the band would grow and mature. In fact Im sure we were hoping they wouldnt. But after ten years its hard for a band not to evolve. Their new album Road to Rouen may be their best yet. I got a chance to talk with band member Rob Coombes.

At the young age of 23 Seth Rogen has had a comedy career equal to a Tim Kazurinsky or Charles Rocket. Hes improvised with the some of the best comedic actors in the world in films like Anchorman and the television show Undeclared.

Mary Roach became a SuicideGirls favorite when she wrote her first book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers which went into great detail with how useful a dead body could be.
Her latest book is Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife and she applies her witty journalistic eye to all the people who wonder what happens after we die. Instead of thinking that we just...

This interview just popped up randomly on my front page. I LOVE Mary Roach. She's got a new book coming out called "Bonk". The amazon page is already up, take a look if you're interested.

Fucking brilliant interview with Peter Chung. The fact that you gave him a chance to say how much the new Aeon Flux movie sucks without really saying it, and all without really asking him how he felt about it, makes it my favorite out of all your interviews.

The Matador is one of the funniest pictures of the year and it will definitely make my top five. It just doesnt get better than a hitman [Pierce Brosnan] who has a nervous breakdown during his latest gig and hightails it to Denver to hook up with a salesman [Greg Kinnear] he met in Mexico City.
Pierce Brosnan is just as charming, playful and fun...

Few filmmakers can make a movie about two cowboys falling in love in 1963, like Brokeback Mountain, and have it be considered Academy Award material. But certainly Ang Lee is in a class by himself. He first gained notice in America with his Father Knows Best trilogy of The Wedding Banquet, Pushing Hands and Eat Drink Man Woman. Later he gained monstrous international acclaim with...

Up until this time last time Felicity Huffman was known as a brilliant working TV, film and stage actor but hadnt yet reached mainstream. All that changed when Desperate Housewives premiered last year and became a national phenomenon.
In between filming the pilot for Desperate Housewives and the series, Huffman dipped her big toe into a leading woman role for the film Transamerica.

I agree, HMW, for the most part. I first say Felicity on Sports Night when a friend was exposing me to pre-West Wing Aaron Sorkin writing. She was fantastic on that show and brought it all with her for DH.
As for wicked hot, it's a weird subjectivity for me. For me, she's one of the least physically attractive leads on DH (what can I say - most blondes don't do it for me), but she's by far the best actress and the one I'd most like to carry on a conversation with. So for a given value of "wicked hot" where WH = looks * talent * humanity, I'm in total agreement.

Jim Carrey is of course known as one of the funniest people on the planet. He first came to fame doing nutty features like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask. In recent years he has really expanded his repertoire with movies such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
