The Leonard Lopate rebroadcast of a late-1990 interview with Spaulding Gray on WNYC was really interesting, and thanks to the miracles of modern technology, you can still hear it via the website in the Leonard Lopate Show Archive. (Note, the audio file probably won’t be posted and unavailable until later today.) While it is bittersweetContinue reading “IF YOU MISSED IT ….”

Lots of little bits of interesting entertainment news in the trades today: Michael Pitt continues in his attempts to be the next River Phoenix. The Hollywood Reporter (subscription required for full story) reports that he will star in Gus Van Sant’s next film. Last Days will deal with the Seattle grunge music scene and beContinue reading “THE BITES THAT COUNT”

This morning’s AIM welcome screen: Nothing to see here. People … stop crowding. Please move along. Thank you, The Management Breaking News: U.S. Forces in Secret Olympics Operation Blame Reuters a little bit for this headline. The Athens Olympics don’t start for another couple months, so if they’re reporting on it … secret? Not soContinue reading “ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: THE “STAY AWAY FROM THE FRONT PAGE” WEDNESDAY EDITION”

I swear, this is the final Omarosa post, but I just ran across this TV Guide Online interview, and … WOW! I sense some major inadequacy issues hidden behind her Amazon-like demeanor. She can’t stop repeating that she is “bright, intelligent (and) smart. She loves to talk about herself in the third person, and seemsContinue reading “METHINKS SHE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH”

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”
