Edited by Bill BreedlovePublished by Dark Arts BooksBuy it from the Amazon here! The story goes something like this- I’m sitting in a bar during happy hour, downing a few beers with a friend when my girlfriend sends me a text message. I open my phone and stare with glazed eyes at the message, which … Continue reading
Demetri Martin is, in the opinion of this humble reporter, the current weak link on The Daily Show. His “Trendspotting” pieces just aren’t up to par with the rest of the stuff John Stewart et al produce, even though there has been a steady increase in quality for Martin over the last few months. Maybe … Continue reading
Still trying to make these at least one a week. I need more letters to make it happen but I also need email clients to treat all text equally and not create these headaches where the text comes in different sizes and colors and formats. It’s 2006 and still text is hated like I’m still … Continue reading
I don’t know what the video game Dead or Alive is about (and frankly, if it doesn’t feature you as Dennis Quaid, I don’t care), but I do know that it somehow involves busty girls playing volleyball. The fact that busty pixel girls playing volleyball so thoroughly excites the video game world makes me wonder … Continue reading
***Update***I’ve gotten some emails from some professionals in the flick business that share a common trait: They tell me not to fear for the talent and quality of one Neill Blomkamp.

When I interviewed Brett Ratner in Vegas last month, he sent some mixed messages about remakes: “Hollywood is unfortunately built on the sequels right now – it’s all about the sequels and the remakes, and that’s a challenge. There’s not as much ingenuity in the 60s and 70s when filmmakers were like inventing genres, creating … Continue reading
When you’re on a set it’s in your blood – if you know dick all about filmmaking – not to make a peep. As a guest of the filmmakers, you want to ingratiate yourself by trying to be as invisible as possible. It’s just a simple courtesy to not screw things up when "the magic" … Continue reading
***WARNING*** Good day. Since so much of our site’s content is lost in other designs, hampered by ad code messing with the pages, or surrounded by gas and low on evil, I’m going to start reprinting them for new eyes. You’ll see classic Smilin’ Jack Ruby, stuff from me when I was relevant, early Devin, … Continue reading
