A sitcom about Samuel Fuller raising his family? What a great idea!

Or he's her ex-boyfriend and just curious.

I'm with you. He has no sense of literary history, no real philosophical depth to his ideas beyond "make-believe bores me," and honestly no real appreciation for the art of literature. Unfortunately, his view has become the cool mainstream among the NYC higher-brows. Post-Knausgaard, everyone is now writing diary-like…

I want to see an indie movie where someone is really pissed off about dying and comes to the conclusion that none of this shit was worth it in the end. Also, in the middle of sex she has to vomit because of the chemo.

Before she dies, the woman will say, "It was all worth it, just to see you become a better person."

If she's Elaine "Ishtar" May, I will get ready for a vociferous defense of her honor, sir.

Happy Accidents, starring Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. A genuinely good sci-fi rom-com.

Always one step ahead of me…

How long until Happy Madison produces that movie about a middle-aged male screenwriter who dresses as a woman to get a Streep grant, and in the process learns something about some shit or whatever? Fart.

At this point, Streep could have played Paul Blart and still gotten a nomination.

My favorite artistic genius who also would have been perfectly cast as old Bilbo Baggins.

First of all, Jimmy Fallon is terrible. He reminds me of the hack comic that Alvy auditions for early in Annie Hall. Second of all, Conan is exactly the type of establishment jerk-off who expects the world to rally behind him when he's personally aggrieved—anyone else watch that horrible documentary?—but can't stand…

You're right. My mistake to say it was statutory copyright law. I meant it was part of most industry contracts—you get paid per use/purchase, right? The problem is the negotiated amount in those contracts. This guy's tweets are drawing attention to the meager compensation-per-use and hopefully artists can get better…

Songwriting royalties are per purchase (or, in the case of radio, per use of the song). Unless I've got copyright law wrong.

It's IP law. You do the work one time, but you get paid whenever someone uses it—medical patents will always be more lucrative than songwriting royalties, and for good reason, but that doesn't mean those patent-holders are any less "lazy" for just sitting back and collecting fees for one-time work. After a set period…

If you can't make more than 2000 bucks from 34 million listens of your song—even one song—then something is clearly wrong. Is it "entitlement" to want compensation for people consuming your product? Patent holders of medical equipment don't do anything when I go to the hospital and get scanned or whatever, but no one…

Do I have to apologize to Don Henley? Because I really should.

I (or my other account [stupid Disqus]) realized this when I wrote it. A chill went down my spine.

I quoted that so much at age 10 that my camp counselor, on his day off, found me a Manny Mota baseball card. I still have it. Most pinch hits of all time!

IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SORT OF WEBSITE.
