I actually think this is a bit absurd and when I got my annual note about the countdown to the new Potter trailer, I rolled my eyes and started thinking about writing about how I think that this kind of countdown stuff is reaching its point of cultural irrelevance... much the same feeling I have - with...

Waters has a gallary show here in L.A. for the next month or so... Vanity Fair was compelled by the movies shown on asses, but I like this one, Children Who Smoke, even better. ( more info on the show and when you can see it )

The experiment of me banning myself from comments is at its half-way mark about now.

I land just after 4p. By 8p, I've been through a rain storm, argued with a desk clerk, scheduled an interview with a movie legend, had a snack at a favorite dive, found a last minute ticket for one of the hottest shows in town, made a reservation for an 11p dinner at a favorite non-dive, wrote two...

Traveling and finding myself responding to blog flames more than once, I pondered how to proceed. I really enjoy engaging in discussions, especially when people have differing opinions. But far too often, it has become a discussion that digresses into personal attacks. And who needs that? Then an idea...

The 2001 run of Anti-Trust , Blow Dry , Josie & The Pussycats , and Texas Rangers kind of ended the sense of inevitability that many had pegged this young actress with when she was a darling of the indie circuit. The run went from from The House of Yes in 1997 (at 18 years old) until She's All...

One of the pleasures of traveling is reading the actual newspapers. There was this remarkable image of the fence against Mexico in the NY Times today... And there was this kind of wonderful odd obit page report from The Times of London... though it had this poorly reproduced, but much more dramatic picture...

Literally outside my window as I woke up this morning in Bermuda... And in front of the City Hall here... by way of Harvard...

It seems to me like this street art takes a cue from The Flash and Captain America... no? If you live in NY, read the NYT, and care about what Manohla has to say, wouldn't "Dargis" be enough of a clue? I mean, it's not like "Smith... Post." There is only one Dargis. Calling...

When you're driving along Bevely Blvd and Poinsetta on a weekday afternoon, you don't really expect to see... A camel. Or more so, three camels! When it comes to partying like it's 300 BC, we Jews win the prize... even in a recession, no donkey shows for us.

A blog comment made me laugh... silly... "While the world ponders whether Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a ROBERT DOWNEY CLONE or a JAVIER BARDEM CLONE, I'd like to submit that here he most looks like another pop culture luminary: SCHNEIDER from "One Day at a Time." LexG Could it be?

This Guardian interview with Michel Gondry was so full of Stuff that it shoudl get read... "I take a lot of pictures on my telephone, but I never download them. I get caught by my ex-girlfriend because of my telephone." "I think the people who offer that are as guilty as the guys who fall...

A chart is about to go up on the cover of Movie City News and while we have done our best to get it completely right, the more eyes, the more possible people finding mistakes. The chart is of The Last 120 Film Critics In America . Well... 115 now, as 5 more have lost their full-time gigs since Jan 1...

I am no fan of the Brit tabloids, but this almost sure to be studio denied by nightfall quote in The Sun is too good to pass up. Andrew Veidt/Ozymandias wants you to know: “The negative feedback is relayed by my friends. I think the fanboys aren’t particularly happy – there are a load of people they...
