  • Would Legalizing Pot Help the Economy?

    Now’s your chance, marijuana. The economy is bleeding jobs and businesses. The world’s greatest Olympian who’s ever lived smokes you. Our government could use the tax revenue after becoming a Wall Street ATM. You’ve turned furry Seth Rogen into a supa-star. So if you’ve ever had a time to shine, pot, it’s now. There is…

  • Coldplay’s “Rules” Caught on Tape by 60 Minutes: Does Chris Martin Yearn to Go Solo?

    As suspected, Coldplay is not your average professional and calculating superband. In last night’s 60 Minutes, while Steve Kroft was getting a tour of the band’s recording studio, the camera closed in on a list of rules plastered to the wall. Thanks to the magic of DVR and a hit of the pause button, Coldplay’s…

  • Love Me Some Jason Wu!

    After seeing Barack and Michelle dance to At Last at the Obama Home State Ball featuring the fine people of Illinois and Hawaii, I came home to soak my feet and look up the designer for Michelle’s fresh white ball gown. Meet 26 year old Jason Wu, a former intern of Narciso Rodriguez. Is that…

  • Is it Me or is Tim Geithner Fredo from Godfather II?

    I don’t trust this Geithner character. He’s got that Fredo Corleone vibe, and do you want Fredo running the Treasury? He’d hand it over to Moe Green, a.k.a. Wall Street, and get slapped around in return. Obama should give his nomination the kiss of death now. Don’t wait to tell him you’re taking him on…

  • The Dude: Filmmakers Can Abide in this Economy

    While it may seem like a frivolous time to ask anyone for money to make a film, Jeff Dowd, the real life inspiration for the beloved chronically laid-back character “The Dude” in The Big Lebowski, assures aspiring Coen Brothers that even in a plummeting economy independent filmmakers can secure funding. I caught up with Dowd…

  • 2008: The Year of Audacity

    It’s funny, because with the apocalyptic news stories ushering us into the new year, I’m reminded of a quote from the film version of Chuck Palahniuk‘s Fight Club: “We’re the middle children of history…. no purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great…

  • Chip Saltsman As Glenn Quagmire?

    Chip Saltsman, you’ll have plenty of time on your hands next year since you won’t be RNC chair. (I think the Republicans are too battered and bruised to risk going back to their old ways with someone like you). So with that said, take your show and your trash CDs on the road with an…

  • Fred Armisen: Ultimate Aphrodisiac

    The Daily Beast brought some heat last month to Fred Armisen’s Obama, pointing out how critics say he needs to go, and here are a couple ideas for replacements, they’re called…STRANGERS! Armisen has finally secured my vote for playing Obama, and has he ever! My latest online addiction–my cyber yoga–has been watching and rewatching Fred…

  • Film No Evil

    Former Lehman banker Ami Horowitz and filmmaker Michael Moore have a fair amount in common. They share the same film sales agent. They both spend time in the Bromley, a 23-story condominium on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. They both produce documentaries. In fact, Horowitz spent the last two years producing a Moore-style documentary (down to…
