I’ve been trying to find the tape of my interview with Spaulding Gray in order to listen to it again and possibly post a transcript of it here, but I fear it may be in storage. Luckily for you, you can hear what I’m certain is a better interview from roughly the same time asContinue reading “DON’T MISS IT: SPAULDING GRAY TRIBUTE”

The fantastic Eurotrash happened upon the not-even-enjoyable-enough-to-be-craptastic Con-Air and then performed visual hari-kari byt actually watching the whole thing. She has since taken it upon herself to review the movie, in her own delectable way and far better than I ever could.

indieWIRE reminds us that tomorrow is the start of the 11th New York Underground Film Festival at Anthology Film Archives. It runs for a week, and as the NYUFF states on its website, “Festival runs Wednesday, March 10 to Tuesday, March 16. “Closing Night” is Sunday the 14th and the two final days are repeatContinue reading “TIME TO GO UNDERGROUND”

Personally, I think the terrifying news of a potential The Fast and the Furious 3 is far more important than any of AIM’s top three stories today, but obviously if I knew what I was talking about, the inconsequentiality of the AIM welcome screen headlines the past couple days would have simply been an anomolyContinue reading “ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: THE “IF IT’S TUESDAY, THIS MUST BE MARS” EDITION”

Big news: According to both Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter (subscriptions necessary for both), i.e., according to the studio press release, Universal Pictures plans to make another sequel of The Fast and the Furious. All I can say is NOOOOOOOOOOOO! While the first movie had a cheesy high-speed fun to it, last summer’s sequelContinue reading “THERE’S NO WAY THIS CAN END WELL”

Holy crap, Batman! I agree with Bob Barr, the arch-right-wing conservative former congressman from Georgia whose name in English I always understood to stand for “Pure Evil.” OK, so that might be exaggerating, but I am usually flumoxed by absolutely everything that I hear coming out of the man’s mouth. And I don’t agree withContinue reading “THE THIRD SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE: BARR LESS EVIL”

I’m sorry, but this William Hung-love has gone a little too far. (Yes, he has his own website too.) It was funny on the audition shows. It was funny and tragic on the American Idol hourlong-special where the worst of the rejects were given an extra 15 seconds of fame by singing onstage in frontContinue reading “REALLY, NOT WELL HUNG”

I just heard it on WNYC, and then saw it on Gawker (via AP). Spalding Gray found dead. Strangely enough, he was working on a new monologue at the time of his death that was to be based on his horrible, debilitating car accident a couple years ago. It was to be called, “Life Interrupted.”

Bunsen compares “the little engine that couldn’t topple Jesus” with the slasher movie evangelical Christians love. Now I feel more compelled to do the same to tonight’s betrayal-focused TV-movies on ABC and NBC. Then again ….

Out in Aspen, executive producer Michael Patrick King says there will be no Sex and the City movie. All I can say is, Huzzah! Personally, I thought the series ended just the right way, and whether we love these characters or not, anything further would just distort the six great seasons we spent with them.Continue reading “‘SEX’ IS DEAD … THANK GOD”
