‘The Strangers’ Meets Joanna Newsom

March 14, 2008 – 9:28 am ·

My Mom, a classically trained alto, isn’t certain what would scare her more: being stalked by a trio of sadistic, masked killers or having to listen to Joanna Newsom. I get that. Newsom isn’t everyone’s cup of freak folk tea. While she has her share of frothing acolytes at her heels, to some, she sends […]

‘Golden Compass’ Breaks A Record. Of Sorts.

March 8, 2008 – 12:51 am ·

So interesting. New Line bites it. Warner Brothers eats it up. Nom! Nom! Nom! Using the failure of The Golden Compass as an indicator of the sign o’ the times. But wait! It wins an Oscar (a deserved one, at that,) AND it’s the first movie EVER to break $300 M overseas while failing to […]

Gary Gygax, R.I.P.

March 7, 2008 – 10:03 am ·

Bill Buckley, Jr died the other day. My Dad, always a staunch Republican, took it rather hard. I only bring it up because a few days later Gary Gygax followed. He was my own, personal Bill Buckley. Always a staunch dreamer, I’m taking it rather hard. In 1979 a friend of the family dropped by […]

St. Vincent Interview @ Pitchfork

March 6, 2008 – 10:01 pm ·

Just a quick note to call attention to a typically meandering Pitchfork interview. This time, it’s Annie Clark, aka St. Vincent, who talks about her writing technique, how she learned to play guitar and the Led Zeppelin song she’d most like to cover. It’s a decent interview, of course, but the one thing that it […]

Space Invaders Swag

March 6, 2008 – 9:37 am ·

On the heels of the cutting board, comes the doormat. The invasion is still in full swing. I kinda wish I hadn’t taken down my old counterinvasion site.

Tarsem’s ‘The Fall’ Alighting in May

March 5, 2008 – 10:01 am ·

Tarsem Singh’s first feature since The Cell is set to cruise into theaters at last. The Fall first had its premiere in 2006 at the Toronto Film Festival, but for whatever reason, hasn’t secured US distribution until now. Roadside Attractions is set to do just that this Spring. I wasn’t a huge fan of The […]
