I am going to see Bill Cosby this Saturday. When I was younger, I never bought music tapes or records (I am showing my old fogey-ist nature now), but did buy a lot of comedy "albums". I lived near a store called Jamesway (which was a low-rent version of K-Mart, which is a hard thing to be in and of itself), and would go there...

Well, today was day 10 of my vegetarianism lifestyle 2008 spectacular. So far so good (I was never a voracious meat-eater). I have eaten more raw vegetables than ever before. Not really a problem, but I have been battling a cold, so I cannot tell if I am tired from that or if my chemistry is screwed up. I have to say, however, dipping carrots...

I just saw Alien Vs. Predator II (I refuse categorically to refer to it as AVP:R-- I am done calling movies by their marketing acronyms).

Don't see this movie. It is awful.

It is directed in that annoying "stylized" frenzy that is all extreme close-ups and jagged editing of shots that last a second each (probably to mask the atrocious computer special effects). The action...

Richard Pryor has been dead for nearly two years (Dec 10th). Best stand up comedian ever? Yes. However, he might have been the most poorly used talent in movie history. With some exceptions (surprisngly the two most dramatic films--Jo Jo Dancer and Blue Collar) he was in bad movies that clearly misunderstood him. Such a amazingly mean and funny and truthful comic with enormous balls...

I am compiling a top ten movie list for every year from 1989 (the year I could go to the movies independently of others) to the present. I will only be listing the films, buy hopefully it will air out 170 movies that I like. I would say most are safe choices. As much as I'd like to pick, say, some Intuit Eskimo Musical about...

Just shot a couple quick movie shorts for youtube. I am not sure how it will edit together, but am hopeful it is good. I figure at the very least it's creative. Better than my initial plan of sitting home alone watching "Hot Rod" on DVD. I collaborated with two other actors on it, and while I like the give and take you get when...
