I’m not feeling the video part of this as much as the one the same director, Brian Cox, did for the Dead Girls Corp cover of Walking in LA by Missing Persons. But, hey, how many directors can say they have put real cocaine and razor self-mutilation on YouTube? So, bonus points for that. Remix [...]
I’m not exactly a big tabloid reader, although I’m fascinated by the cultural impact of evolving media forms. I did watch the Edward G. Robinson classic Unholy Partners this week on TCM. Unholy Partners is a 1941 movie, a period piece about how WWI spurred sensationalist journalism but America was all done with that by [...]
So today is supposed to be Blog Day 2010. BlogDay founder Nir Ofir has been doing this since 2005. The idea is for bloggers to post links to five disparate blogs which are culturally alien reads. Each BlogDay post August 31, 2010 is supposed to be tagged as BlogDay2010. Bizarrely, this year, Technorati shows not [...]
I’ve been in a bit of a morbid headspace due to recent events. So, when Twitter lit up with Brittany Murphy RIP tweets, I’m not proud of it, but I popped over to TMZ to see what happened. I made the correct assumption that TMZ would have the most up-to-the-minute info on anything really depressing [...]
Zak Smith’s memoir We Did Porn is beautifully-produced by Tinhouse Books and it is a beautifully-written, readable book, featuring entertaining aphorisms and some sex stuff which might be titillating to people who are not me. A peculiarity of the book is the juxtaposition of absolutely brilliant cultural insights about the art world, the educated world, [...]
Los Angeles can be a difficult city to make deep connections with others in. I know literally hundreds of people who I genuinely like and enjoy in Southern California, but I can’t say most of them know me particularly in-depth or vice-versa. Sometimes I find it difficult to escape the feeling that every interaction is [...]
According to The Times Online, the UK and USA have been collaborating in stamping out international movie piracy rings. Specifically, a team with the MPAA has trained a couple of adorable black labradors to sniff out the chemicals used in making pirated DVDs. Apparently, the polycarbonates and solvents used in the pirate DVD manufacturing process [...]
So apparently, while I wasn’t paying attention, best-selling author Tucker Max challenged Nick Denton’s huge blogging empire’s flagship Gawker to a $10,000 bet over the likely domestic gross of his upcoming movie and Gawker declared Jihad on Tucker Max over everything. Not in that order. Full disclosure: I have drunk beer with Tucker Max and [...]
The West Hollywood Book Fair has received a California Park and Recreation Society Award of Excellence for three years in a row now. The Fair deserves it for throwing such a successful literary event year-after-year in the somewhat arid soil of Los Angeles. The West Hollywood Book Fair features panels, workshops, performances, and exhibitor booths [...]
Well, damn, if we didn’t all have a really good time at the Golden Gals Gone Wild gallery show this weekend. I admit I was, to a certain extent, dubious about the concept. I wasn’t really allowed to watch television as a child. My parents didn’t want me to turn out weird or antisocial or [...]
