Being the First Joy Division Song That I Ever Heard
Little did I know when James Urbaniak posted this on his own LJ that this would change my life for the better. -
Edwards Cinema and Fandango are Child Rapists
Okay, now that I have your attention, I must tell you that this isn't exactly true. What they are is con artists at best, thieves at worst and bastards always. I am breaking my LJ radio silence to tell you this, so strap in and listen up ( Read more... ) -

No One Cares: The James Kislingbury Story
I was talking with my friend Will and he confirmed something that I had long held to be true: That bragging about your screenplay is no lame, it is the lamest. Screenplays are like assholes, everyone's got one and they all suck. Except that most assholes don't have non-sensible fifth-act plot twists, unabashed sexism, or the f-word ad nauseam-- ( Read more... ) -

You can talk the talk
But can you walk the walk?
This is a pretty amazing (if long) piece on John Wayne by Robert Ebert. I'd say more, but I don't think I could add anything that Mr. Ebert hasn't said already. -

Shocker of the Century
So if you didn't hear, North Korea (NoKo to the hip ones out there) went and did some stupid crap for no real reason. What I'm saying is that North Korea went and did exactly what you expect North Korea to do. Basically, they nabbed two American journalists (one of which is the sister of Lisa Ling of Channel 1 fame), charged, and convicted them for ( Read more... ) -
Appologies to Leo Hernanez
I made a mistake about the guy who was fucking with my head last night. It wasn't Leo Hernandez, but Leo Dominguez. I don't know how or why my mind rounded Dominguez off to Hernandez, but it did. And for that, I am sorry. All you Leo Hernandez's shouldn't suffer because of this one bad Leo Dominguez.
And when I returned the iPod to him, he was kind ( Read more... )
