I'd like to meet:

The Feebles

Music:

Check out my Celebrity Playlist on iTunes!

Movies:

TOO MANY. I love comedies, horror movies and documentaries most of all. However, I'll seriously watch anything. Great cinema may transform and redeem, but bad cinema provides endless snarkage & bonding ops.

The best film I've seen this year is There Will Be Blood. I still like bowling. I also think Jason Reitman is a decent director, but he parties about as well as my mom.

Television:

Fuck McSpaced!

Books:

The Great Gatsby, Lolita, Laurel Canyon, Strip City, comics, anything about the '60s and '70s rock scenes, film and TV criticism, old Hollywood stuff, biographies and memoirs, oral histories, art books, you name it. I don't read a buttload of fiction these days, and I should probably remedy that. I have a book about Luis Bunuel on my coffee table that I've never read. I like saying "Luis Bunuel."

Heroes:

Mason Novick

SPACED, writing, and a dog named Barnabas

Several items on the vagenda:1. Watched three episodes of Spaced on the big screen at a Los Angeles Film Festival event last night. Obviously that show is airtight and beautifully crafted, but seeing ...

So many reasons to be ashamed!

Publicity Trauma, or The Most Superficial Ailment Since Hot Tub Lung

I actually had to speak at a televised awards show last night. The Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards, to be precise. The official logo doesn't use the plural possessive, but I think it makes more sense. An...

Tokyo!

Whenever I've been asked where I'd like to visit more than anywhere in the world, I've promptly replied "Tokyo." (Or Saint Petersburg, since I'm still semi-conversational in Russki. But it's always on...

Plugged in.

Caution: deep waters/navel-gazing/pot psychology ahead...I've been struggling lately with the concept of "self" vis a vis brain chemistry, environment, upbringing, genetics, etc. You got plugged into ...

"Can you find the heartbeat in L.A.?"

It happened. I met Brian Wilson.Longtime readers know that Brian Wilson is totemic to me. There's really no other way of describing the influence this man/icon has had on my life. I don't know if anyo...
