THE FOLLOWING has exploded onto Fox primetime, and we begin our exclusive look at the show that everyone is talking about. Creator Kevin Williamson along with actors Anna Parisse and Shawn Ashmore talk about just a few of the ways the series stands put from the rest of TV, plus as 30 ROCK prepares to [...]
At the meeting of the Republican National Committee a few days ago, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal uttered a statement in his keynote address that some find astonishing but others find offensive. Regarded by some as a 2016 presidential contender, Jindal told his fellow Republicans “We’ve got to stop being the stupid party. It’s time for [...]
Written by Dennis Hopeless, Art by Mike Norton Amidst my pile of the known, this week, I opted for the unknown. Dennis Hopeless and Mike Norton bring an interesting melange of noir, action, suspense, and convoluted tropes to a mini-series that leaves me slightly bedraggled more than blown away. ‘The Answer’ in it’s first outing [...]
Hillary Clinton is not my favorite female politician. That “honor” (in sarcastic quotes because, really, is this something people fight over?) belongs to Bella Abzug, with close runners-up Barbara Jordan and Ann Richards. I didn’t support Hillary’s presidential run in 2008 because I disagreed with her support for the Iraq war. Still, I’ve always thought she [...]
A few years ago, AMC jumped into the narrative TV business with both feet (as they had done a few scripted shows previous like “Remember WENN”) and unleashed Matt Weiner’s critically-acclaimed, award-winning and avid-fan-attracting “Mad Men”. And as “Mad Men” went on to win an unprecedented number of Best TV Drama Emmys over the last [...]
The Farrelly Brothers have broken the comedy barrier in a number of films, but with so much unrated material posted online daily, is it harder to be raunchy funny on the big screen? That was one of the challenges they faced with MOVIE 43, and our exclusive preview continues with a look at that challenge – plus she was [...]
Dear Art, I hope you watched the Inauguration earlier this week so you can understand how outraged I am. That insufferable man in the White House spent his inaugural address preaching political rhetoric instead of reaching across the aisle and offering an olive branch to his opposition. He talked about equal rights for women and [...]
It’s that movie you saw a trailer for – the one with Richard Gere, Halle Barry, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman and a bunch of familiar people. The one with the unusual names. It’s MOVIE 43 and our exclusive preview begins with the story on how the project actually came together, straight from director Peter Farrelly. [...]
What is the difference between guns and bombs? Speed? Efficacy in fulfilling their mission? If our right to bear arms should include assault weapons and 100 bullet magazines, I argue that for the sake of consistency bombs must be permitted as well. Most hand-made bombs are far less dangerous than assault weapons: you can aim [...]
Written by Scott Snyder Art by Greg Capullo As much as I’ve tried to stray away from the stalwart books I continue to review… I couldn’t pass up a chance to return to Scott Snyder’s Batman. Here, just a final beat away from the conclusion to the ‘Death of the Family’ crossover event, we get [...]
When I was three or four, we lived in a house that had rhubarb growing behind the garage. My mom showed me how to pick it, rinse it, and dip it in sugar for a treat. Being the independent free-spirit that i was, I would sometimes just go back there, break off a stalk, and [...]
On April 15, 2013, the film “42” opens. The film is about the career of Jackie Robinson, baseball’s first Black player. Which, by the way, is just bullshit. Jack Roosevelt Robinson was not the first African American to play Major League Baseball. He was the first of the modern era. There were at least fifty [...]
Written by Dan Slott, Art by Ryan Stegman and Edgar Delgado I had this novel idea that I would write this entire article as my evil nemesis, Dan Dougherty. But then I’d realize that if I did that, half of you would immediately swear off reading my articles. The other half would be really curious [...]
Dear Art, I know you have nothing but contempt for the fabulous awards show we at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association put on once a year, our wonderful Golden Globes. We took some big steps this year to make the show more palatable to you this year most notably having it hosted by Amy Poehler [...]
If you’re a gun dealer, you’ve made a real killing. Ever since the Newtown Massacre, them lethal buggers have been selling like condoms at a blind man’s fuckfest. My position on self-defense and gun ownership has been well-stated in these precincts: the former is natural law and the latter is a needed part of the [...]
