Matt Walsh is one of the hottest up and coming funnymen in the business. But unlike a lot of so called famous funny people, Walsh has a ton of talent. That talent is on display nearly every week at one of the Upright Citizens Brigade theatres which he founded along with Matt Besser, Ian Roberts and Amy Poehler.

I've never heard of this guy but how fucking cool is he?!? Maybe it's because I can relate to a lot of his stuff, and we have, like, 1 degree of separation with a lot of the people we know it seems, but Jesus. Another nice job, DRE. Cheers.
gutter_fly:
Good interview. But to make an unfair, one-sided, statement - based on stories I've heard from friends that know him - he's a shady fuck. Again, I have no proof to back this up... And again, good interview; he seems okay to me based on that alone.

Interesting interview. Had not heard much about this movie but I think I am going to make sure I see it now.
John Albert is the author of Wrecking Crew: The Really Bad News Griffith Park Pirates, the often disgusting, disturbing and always funny true story of a group of musicians, struggling screenwriters and wannabe actors that play baseball. Theyd love to play baseball extreme style but they are often too fucked up on drugs to do so. Albert has chronicled a real bad news bears for...

Genre fans, rejoice! Joss Whedon has finally directed for the big screen and hes bringing some of his TV pals along with him. His television series Firefly was cancelled before its time by the FOX network and now the company thats owns NBC, Universal Studios, is continuing the adventures of Captain Mal Reynolds and his band of outlaws in the movie, Serenity.

I wish Firefly/Serenity had been more succesful. The movie is really quite good.
I hope that someday they'll get around to making those Buffy straight to DVD movies.
Too bad he's off Wonder Woman. I was looking forward to that.

Todd Solondzs Palindromes was definitely one of the stranger American films to be released this year. In fact it is one of the strangest films from any country to be released in any year. The baffling tale of 13 year old Aviva who will do anything to become pregnant. Eventually she runs away from home only to have a series of awkward and disturbing encounters...

Welcome To The Dollhouse and Happiness are some of my favorite movies. Storytelling was cool too. But Palindromes was god-awful, boring, and tedious. I was dissapointed. Let's hope this was just a minor shitty glitch in an otherwise remarkable collection of films and will not be a continual trend...

Am I the only one who thinks Solondz's films are pretentious, overrated crap?
hey editor, try explaining instead of just attacking. thanks.
i'm new here. i don't know if anyone will even see this old thread. Todd Solondz is one of the greatest writer/directors working today. his movies are mind-fuckingly original and alive.
So LEGIONNAIRE, what are some good movies?
Walking through the racks of your local comic book store you might spot Hack/Slash and think that its just another horror comic. But if you read it youll find that its one of the more inventive and clever books out there on the shelf. Its only been around for a short time so it has yet to reach the symbolic heights of a book like...

With all the craziness happening the music world all the time, it seems that sometimes a band that broke ground back in the day might be left behind. Definitely one of those bands is Foetus and its founder Jim Thirlwell. But Thirlwell still keeps himself on the cutting edge with new technology and new releases. Foetus has just released a new album and DVD entitled...

I'm really glad this interview went up. It's not hard to get Jim Thirlwell talking about himself, for sure. And obviously he can only hint at just how prolific he has been.
But I think a little comment in the interview about just how influencial the man has been in so many areas > how he was dead in the middle of the No Wave scene > how he basically invented industrial music [something he refuses to take credit for] > there wasn't much hint of what his wildly varied music is actually like, the wild mania, the grunts, rasp, howls and screams, the creative and often immense instrumentation, the special kind of grinding jazz punk he can drive out.
Obviously it's great to get as much plug in for his new stuff as possible, but if I didn't already know his work I wouldn't have much idea from the interview.
Still - and I must say this - I'm very very glad to see him in your interview list!!

Not good.
Talking to William Hurt ended up being near to what I expected. I totally counted on him being a total intellectual willing to talk about anything especially the dynamics of acting. But what I didnt realize was how nice, cool and friendly of a guy he would be. He shook everyones hands after entering and before leaving the room. But I suppose its easy to...
