The environment, as a political issue, has only (no pun intended, goddamnit) heated up since the release of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, and the hope for any sort of consensus on forward action between our current Prez and the Democratic Congress grows increasingly dim. I narrow it to a battle between the President and … Continue reading
It’s funny, as little pieces of Grizzly Park trickle out into Cyberspace (mostly by this site) more and more people come at me as if it’s MY film. Even Ain’t it Cool News ran a really nice little piece on it and due to the obvious web connection they focused on my involvement. Much appreciated. … Continue reading
Discuss this article here.Good on Entertainment Weekly! They’ve labored so long in the trenches of the fandom subculture amidst the sweaty hardcore fans it’s nice to see them finally get redemption in the form of an exlcusive image! I remember sitting at a rickety table at Atlanta’s Dragon*Con convention in 1999 next to EW’s ramshackle … Continue reading
Years ago I ran into Ken Marino in the East Village. I was very drunk, and I yelled, ‘I want to dip my balls in it!’ at him. I actually wish I had remembered to ask him about drunken idiots yelling his catchphrase from The State back at him, but we ended up having a … Continue reading
Like a nice case of Montezuma’s revenge, Babel is striking back. Not content with an Oscar nomination for Best Motion Picture ("It’s great to be nominated!”, remember?), the film has been wreaking havoc on the intestinal fortitude of Japanese audiences since its April 28 release.Apparently, 15 people have complained about feeling sick as watching Babel … Continue reading

That means plenty of lowbrow racial humor and slapstick martial arts scenes to spare. That also means Chris Tucker finally realized he could … Continue reading
When you’re lucky enough to call Eric Roberts "dad", that means a) you’ve got a direct access to some killer Mickey Rourke stories, b) every other movie shown on Cinemax between midnight and six a.m. will help put you through college and c) you aunt is America’s Erstwhile Sweetheart, Julia Roberts. The former two probably … Continue reading
This week will see a series of mini-featurettes about Grizzly Park, my maiden voyage into producing a feature. Directed by the enigmatic Tom Skull [I don’t know his legal name], it’s a nice cocktail of horror and comedy that we’ll hopefully be seeing in theaters later this year. Here’s the third video, The Cast of … Continue reading
Better late than never, my friends. Better late than never. Earlier today, Pixar released a nine minute clip for its upcoming film Ratatouille. It’s impressive. Not necessarily by the story element being put to play, but (it’s here I unveil my animation gasm) holy crap…the animation. Gorgeous. Detailed. Fluid. While it’s par for course to … Continue reading
It makes sense that just as I was engaging in a mini-discussion of I Spit On Your Grave on our message board, the trailer would pop up for Elisha Cuthbert’s second porn movie, Captivity. Torture porn, that is. Her first being the trashy and embarrassing/entertaining House of Wax remake. And while I can argue that … Continue reading
