A punch-up
Could be almost nothing. A few jokes here and there. A few terrible, terrible jokes.

That's just because you have no taste..

Sorry, advertise elsewhere.

Where is Sean O'Neal?
I saw some comment jokes about him getting fired, but I wasn't sure if they were jokes actually. After that whole Leonard Pierce happening.

Not that relevant, but I love the lyric and want to quote it
Soltero: "Your love is like a teen idol / I doubt it'll last/ and I secretely know that it's fake / and you were the top…"

Megavideo and pinlutv.com are places you can see them all online free. I'd rather support the guy legally, but as I plan to buy it on DVD anyway, I don't feel too bad about watching it anyway I can.

Yes, THE GREAT DICTATOR is a baffling omission. This list needs updated.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Obviously, they have great sensibilities when it comes to their music, and even, I hear, when it comes to their stage shows, so why let such atrocious covers slips through? A mystery.

Oh yeah, THE CABLE GUY. Another good one.

How about a poor housepainter, like he was in the decades-old book? And let me just add that the book really is not that great. I've read it to my kids, and it's pretty mediocre, with a crappy ending. They go to the North Pole to try to start a penguin colony there.

What a great post, GeoGreg. That was the best case for a historical Jesus I think I've ever read anywhere—and this is a subject I've read a bit about. Thanks for that.

We also have a ton of zines, many of them good—WIG WAM BAM, PROOF I EXIST, ABQ LOST, THE NIGHTLY NOODLE MONTHY, and so on. Albuquerque is awesome. It may actually be good this is going to Santa Fe instead of here, because it will compete with the genteel SANTA FE REPORTER instead of with the still-very-good ALIBI.

PUNISHMENT PARK
Seriously. That movie is unbearable. But amazing.

This guy was a teacher at my school
and he used to write only literary stuff that barely sold. Then his daughter gave him the idea for this, he cranked this book out, sold it for millions of dollars, and then disappeared. The whole English department talks about him now all the time.

Until a good director NOT A PRODUCER OR A COMPANY gets interested in this
I will have very little hope for it to be made or to be good. So many different people have talked about it for so long. (Once, at a screenwriting conference, I saw the weirdo Mormon producer Gerald Molen, of THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN, talk

Just when I want to get back into it…
WuiB goes away. I look forward to its return.

My problem with his films, aside from them just being lowest-common-denominator crude, is the same problem I have with John Sayles' films, and that is that all of his characters speak with one voice. They are mouthpieces, not people. Though Sayles is way, way, way better than Smith.

Hands down, without question, my favorite AVC interview is the Justify Your Existence with East River Pipe's F. M. Cornog. So brief, but so sincere and human.
