Jesus Needs New PR

Seriously. Lord,  God   –You need new representation! ASAP! 2010 Christianity ain’t a good look. I suggest Britney Spears PR agent or better yet, talk to Drew Barrymore’s people (and perhaps John Travolta’s) because these are the only two sustainably successful...

My People, My People...

First, let me say, I unequivocally LOVE Ms. Badu. As an artist, as a poet, as a woman, I have mad respect and admiration for Ms. Erikah Badu also known as LowDown Loretta Brown also known as Sara Bellum also known as Maria Mexico also known as Medulla Oblongata also known as Analog Girl in a...

Lunacy Watch 2010: GOP Affected! Mar23

Lunacy Watch 2010: GOP Affected!

Quick! Someone call the CDC because the GOP is suffering from the biggest pandemic outbreak the world has ever seen! Worse than the swine flu, worse than the bubonic plague. They have caught a case of the highly contagious and self destructive disease, Turrets Douchebaggerius Bandwagonitus for which there is only one cure. The GOP are insane. Let me get this straight, you want to use Taxpayer money IN THIS ECONOMY, to bring a frivolous lawsuit against the both the U.S. departments of Health and Human Services and Treasury and Labor to stop the healthcare bill from going through? This is further proof that the new strain of Turrets...

Where money & a...

Dagnabit! I like a brain with my widescreen, thank you! Guess with all the studios hyped up on reboots (geez), remakes (ugh), and sequels (blah) , the cineastes inside of us that yearn for regularly-scheduled, intelligent filmmaking (a la Scorcese, Demme, Mann, Fincher, Haynes) that’s...

Precious Blackness 2...

This is about getting more than my (our, your) two cents in. Film-biz-wise. I’m not claiming to know it all. Don’t wanna. Just wanna share, discuss, ignore, react, analyze… you know the whole range. That being said: where’s the post-racial love? Where, oh where, is our...

Douchebag Gumbo: Sex...

Uhmm, uhm, that boy can eat! Ok, so I’m not a John Mayer fan as such (I just know the two or three songs) and I’m not NOT a John Mayer fan but I have a few water cooler thoughts on his recent “situation” and I’m just gonna hit this quick and dirty. John Mayer IS a douche – Let’s...

Bettany VS Harrelson

This may seem a bit dated… but then really, when high concept has triumphed over A-list actors, it’s not. Paul Bettany. Woody Harrelson. These two arguably gifted actors would seem to have nothing in common. Don’t be fooled. 2009 may have been a watershed moment with Bettany...

Loving-Hateration: B...

Yes it’s gonna hafta to be a new tag up in here. Folks that I both/alternately respect, for their hustle and success, and disdain for the suffocating space they’re taking up in the cultural marketplace. Who might you ask is on this Loving-Hateration (Luv-Hatn) list…? Right...

News from DC!

DC Comics that is… Oh what joy for brainiac nerd-docious revelers of the world! Superman may finally, finally — FINALLY! — get the 21st-century zeitgeist kind of treatment he “deserves.” And, yes, DC should lean toward the comics, maybe with less aliens. If to...
