The surprising success of last year's Rambo proved that today's theatrical audience is being underserved when it comes to neck-crunchings, arrow-piercings, and exploding heads, which is why for the last few months Sylvester Stallone has been deeply ensconced filming The Expendables. A deliberately old-school action extravaganza with a seventy million-dollar budget, the film boasts an all-star roster of action notables that includes modern stars...

Have you guys tried to interview Aleksei Balabanov yet? His movies Brother, Brother 2, Of Freaks and Men, Dead Man's Bluff and Cargo 200 are all excellent and he has a huge following in Eastern Europe-- his movies are really damn good! I think he likely has a good support base among the SG-types who are into film, he's really one of the more interesting film makers at work today in Europe. Sure, his movies have some poppish elements, and always ridiculous action, but they're extremely well-made and he seems to be getting into more and more refined philosophical and technical territory the longer he makes films. Just an idea. I would certainly like to see him interviewed here on SG.

A little mate, but better late than never: I loved this interview. I never really put much thought into how far ahead of their time movies like Rocky 4 actually were. It's cool to get a Dolph's Eye View on things. He's a pretty interesting fellow!

I've been dying to get this book. Dee Dee was a big influence on me musically.

He's a Mac, he's the former flame of Drew Barrymore and he's an actor, making him famous in that order. The computer commercials and celebrity romance have brought Long more attention than even his biggest films, Live Free or Die Hard and Dodgeball. Waiting never made the cover of US Weekly, but true fans have recognized him ever since he took out the garbage...

I first saw him in "Jeepers Creepers" 1 and 2, and really enjoyed the movies. Too bad I rarely ever see them referenced in interviews with him.

i want to have like a thousand of his babies.
Prop 8 is about so much more than gay marriage; It's about testing the temperature of tolerance, and nudging the moral compass to find a new north that better serves today's society. Sadly California seems to have lost its way, but ultimately I believe at its core our state is a progressive one and we'll hit the right direction come 2010. Here's hoping.

I am lucky I live in a country where Gay Marriages are legal, I dont think Tolerance is there yet. Someday I am sure.

Thanks for the interviews of Nimoy and Quinto, Nicole! That was super cool!
Bob Fingerman seemed to have disappeared for the past two years after the release of his first novel, Bottomfeeder, a darkly comic tale of a vampire in New York City, and his graphic novel Recess Pieces, about a group of elementary school students fighting zombies, but this month has seen...
On the surface Kathy Griffin's "reality" show, My Life on the D-List, may be about the comedienne's relentless quest for A-List acclaim. However, in reality (of the real variety), Griffin's Emmy Award-winning Bravo show pokes fun at and undermines the very institution she purports to covet above all...

With worldwide record sales approaching 20 million, British band The Prodigy is one of the most successful and memorable groups to emerge from the '90s rave scene. After a five-year absence from the recorded world (apart from the release of Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005), the band's fifth album Invaders Must Die was released in early 2009 and signals a return to form as...

I first saw them at Glastonbury years ago, and thank god I did - it was the best live show I have ever experienced! If you get the chance - go see 'em.

) Soma in SF in 1991, going to a record store to buy them and finding out I still had months to wait until Experience would be released. Absolutely LOVE that they're still around and excited to be doing what they're doing. The reason they've lasted so long is that they really aren't like anybody else. Others have tried, but they never come close.
