It's showing on an airplane... and you STILL think about walking out! Even if you've snuck into the theater, you still demand your money back afterwards! After it's over you say to yourself, "Wow, and the best part of that was Vin Diesel's performance!" You start to cry, not because of the poignant story, but due to the bad acting. There's a CRYING BABY in the audience...and the Baby's lines...
It's very nearly almost Thanksgiving Day in Americaland and - although I'm neither American nor do I have any American blood in me nor do I harbour any urge to venture across the briny sea to America - I do like to join in just a little bit with the celebration involving the merest hint of giving thanks wrapped in a giant pastry of alcohol-consumption and watching some NFL. It's easy to mock Americans...
Where are Pittsburgh's pockets of weirdness? I picked up the phrase from this short piece on Baltimore, in the Style Magazine of the New York Times : Over a meatloaf dinner at the Metropolitan Coffeehouse & Wine Bar in Federal Hill, my old friend, the writer Michael Yockel (he hired me at City Paper), is picking apart my theory about his hometown. I’m suggesting that it’s one of the...
John Waters as the other creepy old Santa... A John Waters Christmas is hitting the road this December. Six dates are scheduled with a New York City stop at BB King's on December 22nd. The show takes the form of...
Yes, it's true. I did my very first audio interview last Friday with the fabulous Charlotte Robinson, an Emmy Award-winning TV producer/director who currently hosts OUTTAKE VOICES , an innovative series that provides intimate interviews with LGBT leaders and their allies. I've always considered myself more of an "ally" than a "leader" in the gay community, but as Charlotte says,...
Wow, the long days and short amount of sleep are brutal. I forgot to bring my camera today and so of course I saw all kinds of strange people. There was one woman who had done the black outline around her lipstick, but only on the top. It totally made her look like John Waters. Not too impressed with this venue, it's a lot more low end craft then they let on in their information. At least we got a...
I may be a drape, but I love your granddaughter. And if that’s a crime, I’ll stand convicted, ma’am. – Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker I believe that Cry-Baby is my first experience watching a John Waters movie from beginning to end. Known for his subversive movies, I was hesitant watching this film. I didn’t know how what to [...]

At the risk of oversimplifying John Waters’ most recent book, LAPSED AGNOSTIC , the Irish Times journalist found God through Alcoholics Anonymous, and then learned to justify an entire belief system by viewing it through the prism of his own experience. Now I’m delighted, for his sake, that John Waters managed to escape the demon booze, because you wouldn’t wish alcoholism on your...

One of the great things about all the Best of the Decade lists that have started circulatingly lately has been rediscovering records that you may have slept-on or too hastily dismissed the first time around. So it's been for me the past couple weeks with the Avalanches' sampledelic odyssey Since I Left You . Originally released in 2001, I errantly judged the record by the US single "Frontier...
This was on this week in the UK as part of Channel 4’s 3D week which I’ve become increasingly excited about since I first heard about it (it’s not hard to get me onto a 3D kick really). This was to me the clear star item on their schedule, not just because it had never [...]
