Kaufman's 'Poultrygeist' to Premiere at Tucson's Loft Cinema

Not only will The Loft be the official launching pad for Kaufman's latest flick, but The Sultan of Schlock himself will be on hand for what will surely be a night to remember.

Aronofsky's commentary for "The Fountain"

Is now available online. [Quicktime required]

Introducing Darko Entertainment

Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly has just launched a new production company that will focus on, "modestly-budgeted, director-driven films."

"Death of a President" to hit US theaters soon

Although I would gladly have hitchhiked all the way to Toronto to see it, looks like it'll be here before the end of the year.

Who's bringin' the popcorn?!

World Series Notes: Ad Nauseam

GOOD FUCKING GOD!!!!!

Is this a baseball game, or We Are the World?

Not to diminish the suffering of the people they devoted "The Heart of America" to but the fucking song sounds like a ready-made car commercial.

And I didn't know George Lucas sang so well!

SNL Remembers Charlie Rocket

Well, sort of...if you can call a black and white image of him that appeared briefly on screen after "Weekend Update" a remembrance...they should have shown whatever his best skit was from his brief tenure at Studio 8H.

And I still can't get over the fact that Rocket's death was ruled a suicide...I mean, who the fuck cuts their own throat?

The Greying of Hair Rock America

Who the fuck calls a radio station in this day and age and requests something, anything, from '80's hair rock/fluff metal peddlers Whitesnake?

You see, this is a big part of what's wrong with terrestrial radio. This pandering to people with some seriously fucked-up musical tastes.

No, sir...not only are we not going to play,"Here I Go Again (On My Own)", "In The Still of the Night" or any of the other weak-assed and lame blue-collar audio tripe these ridiculous limey bastards put out, but we're also going to send a couple of interns down to the payphone you're calling from so they can beat that fluffy metal loving bullshit right the fuck out of you....please stay on the line...

KXCI Bootcamp: 16 Oct. 2005

Good fucking god I was tired this morning. When my alarm went off I felt like I was at the bottom of a swimming pool. Despite that, thanks in no small part to a massive infusion of generic Starbuck's Breakfast Blend, I still managed to make it in on time...here's today's playlist...I really need to find a way to get all my cassettes onto CD or mini-disc...

U2 Bashes Polit-Whore Fundraising

Would you pay $2500 to go to a U2 concert with Hillary Clinton? How about a cool grand to spend the show partying with Rick Santorum?

Well, believe it or not, but some people actually do, and will...much to the annoyed disgust of Bono and his fellow bandmates...

So Santorum is going to be at the U2 show in Philly this Sunday, eh?

I wish there was some way to get a message to Bono.

If it were me...right after the first song, I'd draw attention to the fact that he was there and embarrass the fuck out of him in front of his slimy brethren.

"Hello Philadelphia! You're such a great crowd!!...Thanks fer comin' out tonight...before we go any further, I'd like everyone to send a big shout-out to Republican Congressman Rick Santorum up there in the executive skybox...he's a tireless defender of the government's right to tell people who they can or cannot love, and passive/aggressive promoter of state-sanctioned hatred of gays and lesbians...lets' all give Rick a big round of applause for that!!! YEAH!!! Hooray for freedom!!! And he's got a few guests with him I see...how wonderful...maybe one of you people who threw down a thousand dollars to hobnob with Mr. Santorum can ask him how it feels to be named after a frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the result of a vigorous round of anal sex...?"

Now that would be sweet....

SNL's Tacotown Skit

Was cool the first time I saw it...when it was the "Car'ls Sr. Freedom Burger" skit on Bill Maher's Real Time back in March.
