Despite that Sucker Punch was directed by the very same man that did The Watchmen, one of my all time least favorite films, the cover really sold me. The description was about girls in an insane asylum (or perhaps just their own minds) have to break free from something something cast includes occasional-haver-of-a-real-career Abbie Cornish, […]

Jessica’s buddy has made this totally amazing thing, which is an oral history of Michael Bay cobbled together from various interview quotations from all sorts of people. IT IS FASCINATING. It must have taken forever to put together! Boy I’m glad I don’t work for a real magazine. One of my favorite parts is how […]

We have been watching Childrens’ Hospital and Louie to the exclusion of all other things, even our famed “Avant Garde Wednesdays,” when my old man screens experimental films for me and we discuss them cogently as does the learned class. “Avant Garde Wednesdays” was supposed to be accompanied by “Classical Music Mondays or Sundays,” so […]

“My work was all about homage, because I thought they were the most beautiful people I’ve ever met.” -Nan Goldin Love Letters Full Of Promises (Unissued)

And if Bad Teacher is bad, it doesn’t mean you can’t […]

Christina Seely is one of the featured artists in the upcoming issue of Plazm magazine. You can see a preview of some of the work and read a conversation she and I had a while back about her Lux project on the Plazm web site. The work is pretty incredible, I think. She spent five […]

Pioneer Afrofuturist and self-dubbed ageless alien Sun Ra (Earth born May 22, 1914 as Herman Poole Blount) from the planet Saturn spent his Earth life devoted to “composing and sending out distress signals to his homeworld.”  Having lectured selected musicians on his language and incorporated them into his musical effort, titled The Solar Myth Arkestra, […]

All who speak ill of Bridesmaids are fools and traitors and are welcome not upon my doorstep nor bedchamber!!!!! DEATH TO THE BRIDESMAIDS HATERS! I have flung my gauntlet upon the smoking bloodstained earth! I’m so sure you’d rather go watch The Hangover Part Deux, talk about boring and tired. Yes I realize nobody is […]
