Dig a Hole: Dick Clark
My mother grew up watching "Bandstand" - she shocked me last night when she said the show began to suck in the 1970s. I asked why: "Color TV and that lame Barry Manilow "Bandstand" theme song". Dick, you graced the cover of a seminal punk rock album cover as a Nazi. You opened the floodgates for countless, meaningless award shows when you created The American Music Awards in 1973, just because ABC lost the "Grammy" telecasts. And then, the capper. Michael Moore tried to talk to you about a woman who was killed at a restaurant bearing your name in "Bowling For Columbine" (the 7:08 mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL0Jh6MHFEM Rest in peace, Dick.

Review: Blue Like Jazz
Bet this never sees the light of the film projector here in Fort Wayne - the seat of Allen County, IN that's 85% conservative Republicans. How did I end up here? Will eagerly watch for its DVD release here.— April 18, 2012 2:41 a.m.
Blue Like Jazz Interview: Director Steve Taylor
WOW - that's the same Steve Taylor? Sonofagun! I collect [Christmas music][1] and one of my all time favorite versions of "Winter Wonderland" - a mariachi music version complete with dancing! - was sang and produced by Taylor. It's no surprise he's working on the secular side of the industry now - the hypocrisy probably seems tame compared to the religious side. Nice interview, Matt!

Review: L!fe Happens
I wish SCTV was still around to see their take on this show. Can you imagine Eugene Levy as Tommy Grand busting vintage stars like Woody Allen (Rick Moranis) or Bob Hope (Dave Thomas)? Poor Johnny LaRue (John Candy) wouldn't know what hit him when he's up against a camera crew and Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara combined! http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/1…— April 18, 2012 2:26 a.m.

A Three Stooges Porn Parody?! What's the Idea?

Review: The Three Stooges
You're right, Scott - too much Farrelly Bros., not enough Jules White. Had White directed this film, we would have had two nuns in a shabby office, pull the Stooges in, give the premise in two minutes, and off they went. The Farrelly's shove so many kids and nuns in our face that for twenty minutes, we had nary a slap or eyepoke. Listen, numbskulls - the only kid I want to see in a Stooges film is an infant sucking on a nipple attached to a revolver. I want to see a pie thrown and we get donuts shoved into ears - I'm warning you! The three "stooge" actors did a fine characterization but the supporting cast was way too contemporary. Jane Lynch had not one funny line - so why was she there? Sofia Vergara's cleavage never looked better. Brian Doyle-Murray was probably the closest the boys could come to a Vernon Dent character. Jennifer Hudson as a nun? Larry David as a nun? Kate Upton as a bikini wearing nun? Mel Brooks did that one already. Anyone out there think there's going to be a sequel? My guess is if the Farrelly's aren't involved, it will be more violent, less kid-friendly, and a whole lot funnier. Plus, they just upset the Catholic League with this film so my guess they won't: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/13/catholic… http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/1…— April 15, 2012 1:22 p.m.
Review: The Three Stooges
Thanks to the barrage of movie commercials, my kids are pestering me to death to see this film this weekend. Is there anything in the film that I should be prepared to explain to my kids afterwards? I'm warning you... Or should I go with my original plan A to see it alone at a matinee tomorrow before I pick up the kidlets from school? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/1…— April 12, 2012 10:47 a.m.
