Spader, James
from The Film Snob’s Dictionary
Life would be so ______ if we only referenced James Spader movies from the eighties and early nineties. I could write a dissertation on the blowjob scene in WHITE PALACE, or the redemptive yuppie construct depicted in BAD INFLUENCE and TRUE COLORS. Maybe I will

Thanks, Jules. There’s always great comfort in knowing that someone out there is more depressed than I am

Brats
“While Sofia spends her days in a state of worry-free, languid comfort — she lives in Los Angeles with the bass player from the underground rock band Redd Kross, takes acting lessons, and is preoccupied with just ‘hanging out and decorating the apartment’ — Roman, a graduate of NYU’s film school, is grim, tightly-wound, and intense. He won’t ever let you...

Big Spanish Balls
I left my Canon Powershot in a psychiatrist’s office. It crept out of the pocket of the chakis I was wearing. Dr. Jewison later found the camera and left it with his front office. What happened next is unclear. Yesterday, the head secretary called to say that the office would be replacing the camera. Please understand, I think the world of behavioral health! Psychology is, in my opinion, the...

Hot Coffee
I like it when it rains in LA. Everything slows down a little and I can finally catch my breath, get a glimpse of the mythological place alluded to in RHCP songs. Everyone’s barely holding on here and yet there’s this vast ocean of humanity engulfing us; it builds and builds until it just explodes like one big cosmic bukkake unto the face of ten million angels. Some mistake it for...

Anything for Gus
Taking a break from my William Gibson book to catch up with my man Gus
We have the same name, though mine’s not abbreviated. Back in school there was another Gus (a third man) who I was deeply jealous of because he looked like Buddy Holly. Gus and a friend of his, Matt, were these white dudes who so embodied the Liberal Arts experience that they actually had hot Nubian girlfriends! Usually...

No Looking Back
Props to Women’s Entertainment [WE] for turning me on to this film, the third in Ed Burns’ so-called Long Island trilogy. Really captures the small-town doldrums, if every small town was rooted in a Bruce Springsteen song. Take that song, cut a six-inch valley through the middle of its soul, teach it to wear white toed Adidas Superstars, and, finally, marry a guy who looks like Bon...

WatchHot Vimeo. Movin’ on up! PIANO MAN is an excellent short that I came across when googling star Antony Langdon. And what motivated this google? I caught a matinee of I’M STILL HERE at the Vista and actually enjoyed it, especially Mr. Langdon’s bit. Would love to get a recording of the song he plays at Joaquin Phoenix’s house, vaguely reminiscent of Bo Harwood’s theme...

The Big Picture
I wrote a bitchy rant about Jennifer Jason Leigh and what I consider to be her latter-day sins, and then I realized that I was talking about myself.
I purr
I meow
I pseudo-intellectualize
One could tell the story of the American condition using nothing but clips from Kevin Bacon movies.

Singles
I watch SINGLES every year or so like others watch THE APARTMENT, and lessers watch THE NOTEBOOK.
With a good RomCom, I can suspend popular cynicism for ninety minutes (or at least forty-five) and delight in a world very much like my own, but better. Smarter. Cleaner. There is compassion in this world. There is reconciliation. There is light.
I saw a guy in a Citizen Dick shirt one night...

“THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA” (1993)
Words. Fucking hell. If I was fifteen and my parents saw this, they’d have me committed. Had I been buggered senseless at school? If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding, man. Real refined-like. Pretty things, jellies, it’s all the same to me so long as they, like, speak to me heart and soul or whatever....
