Kevin Smith hit Australia to promote the bankrupting of his creativity, Clerks II, and the boys at Moviehole got him to talk about his upcoming horror film. Apparently the whole movie will be made up of Smith’s wife kissing Brian O’Halloran. That’s the only conclusion I can draw when Smith says the movie will be … Continue reading
How did Hunter S Thompson do it? How did he get so royally fucked up on so many chemicals and still turn in vaguely journalistic pieces? Did he just make a lot of it up? Thompson’s not really a favorite of mine when it comes to his work, but I do like his legend. The … Continue reading
It’s been fifty years since the Civil Rights Movement and what do we have to show for it? Black people exiled to their own island!

It’s been announced that The 4400, the show about a bunch of UFO abductee types returning to Earth with strange powers, has been renewed for a fourth season. I was sent the first couple of episodes on DVD and hated the shit out of them. It seemed like a wannabe X-Files with cheesy superheroes. But … Continue reading
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are coming back to live action films for the first time in years. They have two new movies lined up, one of which sounds like it’s got a real shot at being a classic. The first of the two is My All-American, a high school comedy, which should be interesting … Continue reading
