Mick Garris is a modern master of horror with such films as Sleepwalkers, The Stand and Riding the Bullet and hes a very nice guy. Thats why hes made so many friends in the horror film industry over the years. Those friendships eventually led to awesome pizza parties that included such classic horror creators as Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, Don Coscarelli and many up and...

FAILURE is one of the best bands ever. ever!

You know that picture above isn't of Troy, right!? That's current-lineup drummer, Joey Castillo.



I've been of fan of Troy's since catching him supporting Failure in '97. Since then, I've happily seen him 5-10+ times live and stolen all of his best Lap Steel + E-Bow tricks! biggrin

Over the years whenever anyone comes to me and says Dan, I want to read good comic books and dont give me any superheroes. Without fail I always handed them Minimum Wage by Bob Fingerman, since rechristened Beg the Question. His semi-autobiographical tale has the pathos of Daniel Clowes later work contrasted with sex and humor of Peter Bagge.

But Fingerman has put...

Bob Fingerman has more talent in his pinkie than most people have in their whole foot. Hmm, that didn't come out right, let me try again. Bob Fingerman is the Elephant in the Parlor of comics. Nope, let's give it one more shot. Bob Fingerman has more balls than Lance Armstrong and... No, no, no. Him good. Me likee.

BEG THE QUESTION will make a lot of SG members think that he's been peeping in their windows for a long time. Yeah, that's it. Bob Fingerman is the Peeping Tom of Alternative Comics and one hell of a talented cartoonist.

I was lucky enough to get to know him a few years ago and he is so funny that I often think our acquaintance was some kind of cosmic mistake -- like he was supposed to be friends with the guy next door and it was misdelivered to my door instead.

Find his books and read them. You won't regret it. And if you're ever lucky enough to meet him you will be able to strike a kitchen match on his noggin. He loves that.

Check out his website here.

Filmmaker Marc Levin has always flitted back and forth from fiction to documentary films. Whether hes examining the clandestine tactics of the Central Intelligence Agency in CIA: America's Secret Warriors or giving Danny Hoch a chance to shine as a wannabe hip-hop star in a virtually all-white Iowa town in Whiteboyz.

Now his latest film puts him in the forefront and examines the history of...

Absolutely Brill! It's about time that someone is working on this issue. Fear is the darkness in a room with the lights turned off. Nice to see someone attempting to turn it on for those too lazy or too scared to turn it on for "dem-selves"! Too many of us have this issue way 2 twisted. Good going Marc!

I am so damn jealous of Jason Schwartzman. Hes gotten to act alongside two of my comedy idols, Bill Murray and now Steve Martin in the film adaptation of Martins own book, Showgirl.

Shopgirl stars Claire Danes as Mirabelle, a plain young girl in the middle of Hollywood who is romanced by two men. One is an older wealthy man played by Steve Martin and...

His latest picture is the mindfuck known as Stay. It stars Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling. In this psychological thriller, a distraught young man announces...

That last quote in the interview where M Forster says you lose the ground if you get too involved with all the people, too social and don't spend enough time with yourself. He just answered a whole set of issues for me. It's wild, but it's a struggle a lot of the time to be perceived as an entertaining person and therefore a social person or someone who should be. Then you try to live up to it and end up flopping around off center and not accomplishing much. It leaves you wondering where time went and why it seems you were so much more imaginative when you were little or younger or a teenager.

Truth is when you were little, or younger, or a teenager there was a whole list of excuses why you could be on your own. Everything from over active/developing imagination to you being just too damn moody. Whatever, it was more okay to be alone and sometimes even lonely. As an adult or as a success it is less okay to be alone or lonely. You are supposed to have a life. But what if your life is a rich internal one? And what if what you do requires focus and listening to what's in your head and in your heart and maybe even time to process what you have heard from the people around you.

I'm trying to get this right, and I feel I'm making a mess of it when all I want to say to M Forster is thanks for the back up. I needed to hear it. And I needed to hear it, now.

Now, I'm all stoked to see your work.

I got a chance to talk with Steve Soto of The Adolescents. The Adolescents invented the punk sound that came out of Orange County in the early 1980s. Frontier Records is releasing Adolescents - Complete Demos 1980-1986. Fourteen of these tracks are previously unreleased, including one studio recording, Richard Hung Himself.

At the young age of 18 Evan Rachel Wood already has a resume most actors would die for. Since her breakout role in the movie Thirteen shes worked with James Woods, Cate Blanchett and Vanessa Redgrave.

Her latest role is the evil and manipulative Kimberly Joyce in the Heathers-like Pretty Persuasion. Kimberley will stop at nothing to become famous. She convinces her two best friends...

I have been a fan or hers since Once and Again, and the only reason I picked up Thirteen was because she was in it. I think she is an amazing actress and am looking forward for Pretty Persuasion to come to DVD.

He's a great, far too underrated director. All his stuff has been interesting and well crafted. "Mad Dog and Glory" is fantastic, with a great switch of roles between DeNiro and Bill Murray. (Come to think of it, McNaughton used Murray in a perfectly quirky turn in "Wild Things" as well.) Also worth seeing is "Normal Life" a little seen gem with Luke Perry and Ashley Judd as a couple who devolve into the usual McNaughton themes of crime, sex and violence.

Shane Black is so cool. Hes worked on some of my favorite movies from my youth such as Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout and made millions doing it. But all that money hasnt erased or even diluted the real artist in him. Black writes down and dirty noir where men punch other men in the nose sending bone shards into their brain and...

Not one question about him being in Predator?
Really good interview though, he's involved in a few more films than I realised I think.. And it is interesting to hear what he intended for Lethal Weapon.
