• essential life skills

  I’ve been working on a few projects lately so I’m sorry that I’ve sort of been like an errant father, dropping in and out of your life.  It’s going to be like this for a while - wedding planning, new projects, etc. - so you can hate me when you grow up, just don’t make me […]

• rad girls

  A few weeks ago, my rockstar friend Sydney, and her legendary ukele band The Hazzards (formerly, The Ukes of Hazzard before a nasty cease and desist order) were in town for a shoot.
  We met for cocktails at the Avalon Hotel where we drank mojitos and caught up (the star of “Gay Boyfriend,” The Hazzards first […]

• ten ton filmmaking

  We saw Children of Men this past weekend.  It’s about a future in which the world has lost the global war on terror, humans have lost the ability to reproduce, and the new pharamcological solution to the thing that ails us is no longer Viagra, but a suicide pill.

• cold war, on the sly

  In the event you ever forget about the Cold War in the 80’s and how it ended, just watch Sylvester Stallone’s magnificent Cold War opus Rocky IV.
  I don’t know what they’re teaching in high school social studies these days but if they’re spewing some garbage about Ronald Regan and Mikhail Gobachev to bringing an end […]

• an infernal movie date

  We went to see The Departed tonight in Westwood at the Mann Village. After two failures at securing the long elusive Oscar with Gangs of New York and The Aviator which belong in the genre of “bloated movies that are made to win awards,” The Departed is a nice return to form for Martin […]

• girls on football

  Mary Milan, goody-two-shoes yoga student, ratted me out to everybody on Sunday.  What she didn’t tell her little shava-asana pose doing, yoga pants wearing, vegan friends is that she watches football on Sundays too sometimes.  She just chose to go to yoga (crazy, I know, but she’s her own woman).
  In fact, little do they know that […]
