Jacob Sullum is a senior editor at Reason magazine and the author of Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use. I figured that since I like marijuana and you people like marijuana it was time to get an experts opinion on where drug reform is right now and where it should go in America.

Wow, how did I miss this interview yesterday?
I figured that since I like marijuana and you people like marijuana it was time to get an experts opinion on where drug reform is right now and where it should go in America.
I don't like marijuana, but I like Jacob Sullum. And marijuana should be totally, completely, 100% legal.
Sullum's 2003 interview with Bill O'Reilly actually provided proof that "O'Reilly is a bully and a jerk." I guess we didn't really need a graph to tell us that, though...
As we found out when I spoke to Fangoria editor Tony Timpone, horror movies are back in full force! One of the major forces behind this renaissance of good horror movies is Lions Gate and the horror movie SAW. Leigh Whannell co-writer of SAW and also pulled off a tour de force of acting in SAW just by sitting in a room. After SAW...

I couldn't believe it when I put the Saw dvd in and saw Leigh on the screen, yes I remember him as the little recovery reviewer. I'm happy to see he's done so well. I always thought his reviews were great. He chose bizarre little trash-horror movies and cult movies each week and you can now see where he maybe got some of those influences that have gone into Saw.
So far he's probably the only good thing that came out of the recovery show.

Personally, I thought SAW was overrated, but still entertaining.
But I am in total aggreement with what Leigh Whannell has to say in this interview. I hope more independent horror filmmakers will strive to make original films, rather than doing remakes of classic films from the 70's & 80's (which wasn't that long ago, to be honest).

Tom Bissell is a very detail oriented journalist for magazines such as Harpers Magazine, The Believer and others. Being such a stickler for such things you wouldnt think that he would be able to produce good works of fiction. Well hes proving that wrong with his short story collection God Lives in St. Petersburg which is a collection of works all connected by the theme...

I'm reading Chasing the Sea right now. It's an excellent piece of hard-hitting journalism and travel writing set in Uzbekistan, and I absolutely am going to read God Lives in St. Petersburg too.
walkswithbears:
Sorry DRE, but the one thing i took from this interview was...
Your book is unusual for a book of short stories all written by the same author in that all the stories are so closely connected by theme.
...which is one of the most false generalisations about short stories i've read. Unifying themes are more often that not integral to short story collections.
Without ever being in a band Julien Temple has made a career out of music. He first came to attention in the late 1970s when he filmed hours of the Sex Pistols. Much of that footage later went into his 2000 documentary The Filth and The Fury. In the 1980s and 90s Temple directed dozens of music videos such as Tom Pettys Free Fallin, Van...

Same here. I've listened to that cd for so many years that it is in terrible shape and won't even play now!! I need to get a new one.
Even though Paul Schrader came up in the 70s with filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and many more, due to his not being allowed to see a film until he was well into his teens, he is not considered one of their generation of movie brats. That outsider status has allowed him to create his own niche in directing with...

I heard about this situation; it's quite bizzare. In terms of the failures or successes of his body of work on all levels, much can be said- but he is an unquestionable talent. I love the films he's directed, and his work with Scorcese has produced some of the greatest films ever made. In any case, this is a fascinating interview...

I really want to see it, but I can't find any showtimes... don't tell me it's already gone from NY theaters. 
The O.C. is one of the top rated dramas on television. But the real phenomenon with the show is how it can take an unknown bands song, put it on the show and the band will become hugely popular.
A number of the bands such as The Futureheads, Sufjan Stevens, Aqueduct and many more appear on the new The O.C. Mix 4 CD. I got...

Inevitably, that Ted Leo cover of "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" will appear on the show. Or is it already on a mix?

Back in the 80s Blueprint grew up listening to R & B music at home and singing in the church choir. He even was in a Boys II Men type group called All Day. But now Blueprint is best known for teaming up with RJD2 for their Soul Position records. Since then both have done their solo albums and Blueprint has brought us back to...

John Falks story of recovery from depression is known all over the country. Not because of his extensive work peeling away the layers of his mind through therapy but because of Zoloft. That story eventually led him to want to live life again so thats why he faked his way into Sarajevo as a war correspondent and then wrote it all in his book Hello...

Tepid, lackluster, yawn inspiring... not DRE's fault, Timpone just doesn't seem as insightful or enthusiastic as I would expect the editor of THE Horror Magazine, the legendary and infamous Fangoria, to be.
Japanese director Masayuki Ochiai was previously best known in the United States for the directing the cult hit Parasite Eve. All that will change now that Lions Gate Home Entertainment has released his latest picture, Infection, directly to DVD.
Infection is a disturbing tale that tackles one of Ochiais favorite themes, genetics and lots of sick deaths. A team of doctors and nurses accidentally kill...

this is one weird ass movie. im never going to step foot in a hospital again

I used to watch his works a lot on TV, and it's amazing to see his interview here.
"Infection" is a one of 6 films of "J horror theater" project, and I guess this project is not longer anymore, before it releases all the films. So I'd say we are lucky, because we can see his film before the project went down.
