Liam Lynch is one of the few people in the world to own a cloned cat. After the death of his cat Lynch brought a biopsy sample from inside his cat to a special facility and for the price of a new car, he got what he believes to be nearly the exact same cat. Now one may think that is the weirdest thing this...

I love all of Liam's stuff and ever since I read that he cowrote this movie, I knew I needed to see it. You rock Liam. I want the Sifl and Olly dvds dammit! Who's willing join a million sock puppet march with me up to MTV Studios?

Money Mark was money before money was a popular expression. Moneys work as the keyboardist for the Beastie Boys has made him a highly regarded figure in the hip-hop world. Its always a shock when he puts out a solo album and it is so radically different from the live and album work he has done with the Beasties. That shock was even more apparent...

Money Mark is the man. Totally has his own thing goin' on. Haven't loved all of his solo releases, but a couple of them have remained in my regular listening rotation for years.
He's done a lot of touring with the Beasties, but the Ill Communication tour with the Boys playin' their instruments 2/3 of the night along with Bobo, DJ Hurricane and Mark, that was an incredible show/tour. Good times.

While the names, The Perfects and Tim Hollowboy Phillips may not mean anything to you right off the bat, just think of the Mindless Self Indulgence remix Hollowboy Extended Pleasure Mix and you will know Phillips work. Besides his work with MSI, Phillips has released a five song The Perfects EP. Phillips along with collaborator, Ric Peters has made The Perfects into a throwback to...

To quote Chuck Palahniuk, Clown Girl is its own reality. Clown Girl author Monica Drake has created the story of Nita, a student of the art of clowning who has fallen on hard times. Her mentor and lover, Rex, has gone off to try to get into a prestigious clowning school leaving her living with a pot dealer and trying to scrape by doing corporate...

I read Clown Girl and thought it was a wonderful book. Like life, full of contradictions. Some contradictions, like the romance between the clown and the cop, were adressed by the characters themselves. Others were maybe only my take on the book, but I found it funny and sad, exotic and yet very ordinary... There are so many great authors in the Portland area, of course, Chuck Palahniuk, but one of my very favorites is Katherine Dunn, who I believe is writing for the Willamette Weekly now. I want to thank Monica Drake for realizing that maybe she is a writer and I look forward to reading more of her work.

This book looks interesting. I have now resolved to try and get hold of a copy.
Billy Ray is one of Hollywoods most respected screenwriters. With the release of 2003s Shattered Glass he became one of the most exciting directors as well. His sophomore directing project is Breach, which details the true story of the most dangerous spy in US history. Robert Hanssen [played by Chris Cooper] has always been known as one of the FBIs most renowned operatives. When fledging...

Good interview. That Weston book is good (I'm trying to make time to get through the follow-up The Film Director's Intuition right now) and as good a book as any when it comes to examining the actor-director dialectic, I think. Nice work, DRE.
There is no word more versatile than fuck. Personally my favorite expression is motherfucking cocksucker. Its acidity rolls off the tongue like ripe pomegranate seeds. Steve Anderson knows the value of the word and thats why he directed the documentary Fuck which includes interviews with linguists, comedians such as a Bill Maher and conservatives like Pat Boone. The origins of the word is analyzed and...

I drew up a broad outline and I hoped to make a film that would take a populous look at the word.
Is that word supposed to be "populous" or "populist"?
societyspliers:
How can I see this fuckumentary? I recall a sound file circulating on the web a few years back where someone reviews the history and utility of the word. It was pretty fucking funny.
All of you people who attend events like MOCCA, snatch up any mini-comics from up and coming creators and are desperately trying to get their weird and offensive comics embraced by the cool people owe a huge debt to cartoonist Frank Stack. Frank Stack published what is considered by many to be the first underground comic book. Those books were The Adventures of Jesus...

I can't believe this interview went up the day after mine... I took a ton of classes from Frank in college. He's an amazing person, and a truly inspirational artist.
David Mamet is one of the greatest writers who ever lived. Hes had success in every medium hes worked in from theater to film and in the past year in television with The Unit, which he co-created with Shawn Ryan. The show has become a ratings success for CBS. But what people love the most about Mamet is his wit, his hilarious cynicism and his...

If it were me, I'd probably ask him why he continues working on fair-to-middlin films when he could be producing groundbreaking drama.
But truth be told, I have an ax to grind when it comes to Mamet. Which is why I can never truly respect Mamet. 
I mean, it just seems to me that's like talking to Jon Stewart about Death to Smoochy and Half Baked and America the Book and Crossfire and never asking about the Daily Show.
that question you want to ask is a bad question and one that would insult him. i've seen mamet's work on stage and screen. this interview was about this new book which is about hollywood, therefore it makes sense to focus on that.

HI original cindy

That's rad. I haven't seen Frank in years, but I think about him often. He's rad.
Mutil-instrumental genius.
Total badass.
Glad to see him interviewed.
In fact, I just came from the record store and
was looking for this album, and they
fuckin' didn't have it! And this is a good record store too!
Blast.
