Summer Preview, Many Thanks, and Aloha, Mr. Hand!
By Zach Galligan on 05/30/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganSummer is typically a pretty solid time for books, music and movies. Here are some I'm looking forward to, regardless of quality. Movies: The Dark Knight: Christopher Nolan's first crack at Batman was so strong, I'm kinda dying to see how he's going to up the ante. Plus, how could you not want to see the late, great Heath Ledger's final performance? Hancock: Maybe the trailer is just superb, but Will Smith really picks his material well. This superhero as anti-hero popcorn flick looks to be more original than 99% of summer flicks, and it also stars the exceedingly... MORE »

Door Blockers and Subway Sprinters: An Observation
By Zach Galligan on 05/29/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganI live in Manhattan and take the subway practically everyday. Over the past year or two, as subway ridership has reached record levels, I have noticed a pattern of behavior among a certain group of fellow strap hangers (OK, the strap is long gone, but the cool nickname remains) that is typical of Type A New Yorkers. I'm sure other people have noticed this behavior as well, but I haven't seen it discussed in any detail. I'm talking, of course, about Door Blocking and Subway Sprinting. Let's begin with the more common affliction, Door Blocking. You are a commuter, and... MORE »
Jason Statham: Getting Better All the Time
By Zach Galligan on 05/28/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganTen years ago, when I saw Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I was impressed with an unknown actor named Jason Statham. He seemed raw, yet had an undeniable charm and, yes, that indefinable quality, charisma. He displayed it again in his next Guy Ritchie film, Snatch, playing Turkish, the sketchy boxing promoter who gets pulled into the criminal underworld. Soon, I began to see commercials for something called The Transporter, and there, again, was Statham. Not being much of an action film buff, I passed. As I flipped through the cable channels a few years later, the Italian Job... MORE »
I Hope You Had a Happy Memorial Day.
By Martha Davis on 05/28/2008
Filed under: Martha DavisMemorial Day weekend, time for barbecues, parties, sales, (which means lots of shopping), and perhaps getting drunk and abusing a loved one.... it happens. And this is to commemorate what? Many years ago I was driving up a road in the Ventura hills, it was Memorial Day. The sun had just set to reveal a gigantic moon. MORE »
23:THE BLOG
By Ray Abruzzo on 05/28/2008
Filed under: Ray AbruzzoAlexander, Allard, Barrasso, Bennett, Brownback, Bunning, Burr, Cochran, Corker, Cornyn, DeMint, Ensign, Enzi, Graham, Grassley, Gregg, Hatch, Kyl, Lugar, McConnell, Sessions, Voinovich. Do you recognize those 22 names? What do those people have in common? I would venture to guess they all wear American Flag Lapel pins. It would be pretty safe to assume they have "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" yellow ribbon bumper stickers on their SUV's. It would be a safe bet to think they have each used the phrase, "we are living in a post 9/11 world", to justify the illegal wiretaps or suspension of Habeas Corpus or use... MORE »
RocknRoll Dysfunction or I was Elvis Ramone
By Clem Burke on 05/28/2008
Filed under: Clem BurkeIt seems as though some great myth was created by the film A Hard Day's Night, it being that all RocknRoll bands were just one big happy family. I'm here to tell you that being in a band is like being a part of a dysfunctional family. I spent a short time in The Ramones and there were problems in that family. The guitar player didn't speak to the singer and the bass guitarist sat in the back of the van getting stoned all the time. Of course The Ramones are our generation's Beatles, they also have a film. It's... MORE »
The Chef Boy Ar Dee Incident
By Zach Galligan on 05/27/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganIn order to make sense of this story, you need to know a few things. First of all, my wife likes to shop for shoes. Often. Usually she exercises restraint, but every now and then, given the time, money and inclination, she can make Imelda Marcos seem like a rank amateur. So, when I happened to have a little cash lying around - maybe a couple hundred bucks - I would slip it in an envelope and put it in the cutlery drawer, just in case she or I needed a few dollars. Soon, however, I began to notice that... MORE »
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR
By Evan Seinfeld & Tera Patrick on 05/22/2008
Filed under: Evan Seinfeld, Tera PatrickEVAN Why do we find it ok to create movies, television, and video games about killing and the glorification of gratuitous violence? From war movies, to unlikely duos, from police stories on TV, to dramas, mysteries, and horror movies, etc. It seems we are a society obsessed with violence and killing. A question I would love to pose is,"how many of the people who watch this programming will actually kill someone in their lifetime? We portray murder, revenge actual wars, westerns, gangster movies, and the list goes on. Do you think even 1% of the viewers will ever kill someone?... MORE »
Wow, That's Just So Random...
By Zach Galligan on 05/22/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganSitting here in front of the computer, still reeling from the pulse pounding American Idol finish last night (totally, deeply kidding), I am mildly surprised. For the first time in nearly three weeks, I don't feel a pressing need to write about one specific topic. I'm not in the mood to be introspective, deep, or even vaguely thoughtful. Instead, I would rather talk about a bunch of random stuff, the mental bric-a-brac that tumbles through my head without warning and, more often than not, reason. So, in no particular order: White Beer: I'm not much of a beer drinker, and... MORE »
KILL! KILL! KILL! Now, THAT'S funny.
By Ray Abruzzo on 05/22/2008
Filed under: Ray AbruzzoOn a recent radio show hosted by conservative Bill Bennett, Joe Lieberman chuckled with glee at the idea put forth by Bennett that Hillary would bomb Iran. "It does have an appeal to it" he added through his Fudd-like chortle. Mike Huckabee at an NRA meeting "joked" that a noise back stage was Obama hitting the ground after someone pointed a gun at him. When Huckabee was forced to apologize for his dangerously stupid adlib, he inadvertently gave us a further peek into his dark, twisted soul. He said many politicians get caught making jokes that they may have to... MORE »
Trapped in Cell Hell
By Zach Galligan on 05/22/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganI tremble as I begin to write this - not out of excitement, but out of rage - because even though the topic has been discussed to the point of exhaustion, the problem just seems to be getting exponentially worse. No, I am not talking about bedbugs (although they're pretty horrendous) or the Bush administration, but the plague that threatens to destroy us all as a civilization. I'm talking about cell phones and the way they are used by - or inflicted upon, depending on your point of view - society at large. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?... MORE »

All We Are Saying is Give Chirp A Chance
By Zach Galligan on 05/21/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganIn August of 2006, I received an odd e-mail. It was a short, somewhat rambling message, but the crux of it was that a 23 year old NYU Film Grad named Jonathan Blitstein had written a screenplay entitled Let Them Chirp Awhile and, apparently, was offering me a role in the picture. Inwardly, I groaned, because I had read a cornucopia of screenplays that had been sent to me, either for my opinion or possibly my involvement, and generally they were pretty poor. As I started to read, however, a smile crept across my face. The script was pretty darn... MORE »

Some Things Are Better Left Undead
By Zach Galligan on 05/20/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganFrom five to about fifteen years of age - the glory years of childhood and adolescence - I was an avid comic book reader. I thrilled to the exploits of Marvel comics superheroes and Jack Kirby inspired monsters, and breathlessly hurried to the comic book stand at 86th and Broadway with my fistful of change, hoping for the latest issues. In the 60's and 70's, comic book heroes were noble, almost perfect role models for kids, save the occasional self absorption of Spiderman or the suggested alcoholism of Iron Man. There was a cartoonish level of violence, no bad language... MORE »

Filed under: Stormy DanielsSeriously! Maybe I am just getting old and bitter and less patient, but I really think people are just becoming bigger assholes. If you are at work and it is your job to somehow serve people perhaps you should just start doing that! I mean how are rude, incompetent people keeping their jobs?

Flight of the Knife
By Zach Galligan on 05/19/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganIf there is going to be a more obvious explosion of musical creativity in 2008, I'd like to hear it. But I'm willing to bet that the second album from Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears will be the sonic supernova that will stay on my Ipod for the next several weeks, if not months. Combining elements of ELO, Squeeze, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, Elton John and XTC into a power pop-prog confection that is irresistible and stands up to repeated listenings, Scary and his shockingly solid, terrifically tight band - keyboardist Mike Acreman, drummer Brian Bauer, guitarist Graham Norwood and...

Austin
By Clem Burke on 05/19/2008
Filed under: Clem BurkeI'm down here in Austin doing a benefit for a writer named Steven Moser. Steven has prostate cancer and like many other Americans, no health insurance. Aren't we suppose to be the so called greatest country in the world? Didn't I mention something awhile back about this age of paradox we're living in? How can we "the greatest" not have health coverage for everyone? Maybe this will change soon, let's hope so. For those of you who have never visited this great city I have to tell you that it's probably the only place on earth where a musical event... MORE »

Filed under: Martha DavisIt's hot as hell today. After a long drawn out period of clouds and even rain, LA is back to doing what it does best, being hot as hell. I'm just here visiting. I now reside in Oregon and I love it, but LA is where the biz is. So I'm taking meetings, makin' the scene, promoting the release of three new albums and wondering how on earth one goes about getting an iPod commercial. It's the new world; the artist is now responsible for his or her career. In the 'old' days you signed a deal and that was... MORE »
Rules For Meeting Your Favorite Pornstar (or any celebrity for that matter)
By Stormy Daniels on 05/19/2008
Filed under: Stormy DanielsMost girls in the adult entertainment business will tell you they love meeting fans. I am no exception. I sign at every convention possible, attend as many parties as I can, and still actively feature dance at least once a month. It is not only our chance to thank the people that keep us in business, but it is also grassroots marketing at its best. Ninety-nine percent of my fans are absolutely wonderful and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Unfortunately, there are always one or two that in some way are seriously out of line. I know...

Ten Songs I'm Embarrassed I Like
By Zach Galligan on 05/16/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganGreat songs are easy to enjoy - they're either the product of 'accepted', hip bands (like Radiohead) or universally praised for their excellence (like U2 ,the Beatles or Kanye West). Loving a cool song is, pretty much, simplicity in itself. Then there are the other songs, the ones that you sheepishly, grudgingly admit you like. The reasons for their utter wackness are legion - they're too cheesy, poppy, sappy, annoying, feminine (or masculine, depending on your gender), or simply overplayed beyond belief. Whatever the reason may be, you don't care, you still dig them...a lot. But, in all likelihood, you... MORE »
REMOTELESS IN WAIMANALO
By Ray Abruzzo on 05/16/2008
Filed under: Ray AbruzzoOk, I admit it, I have a problem. I'm a junkie. My addiction is not to any by-product of the poppy seed now flourishing in Afghanistan. No, I am not addicted to the poppy that is funding the Taliban and other terrorist groups that have sprung back to life after we shifted our military focus from finding Bin Laden to finding non-existent WMDs in Iraq. No, my addiction is to political news. Since waking up on 9/11/2001 to the image of the second plane cutting through the WTC, I now turn on the television EVERY MORNING while my eyes are... MORE »
Politics: Smart Folk...Ah Don't Trust 'Em!
By Zach Galligan on 05/15/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganOften times I hear my students complain about the current President, saying things like 'He's so dumb!' or 'How could we elect a C student as a President?' (Bush's average was a 77 during his stay at Yale). But a quick look at US History (my major at college) will tell you that, given a choice between an obvious intellectual and a simpler, less educated person, America almost always avoids the smarter person. Let's take a look at the last 60 years of Presidential elections: 1948: This contest was between Thomas Dewey, a graduate of University of Michigan and Columbia... MORE »

Filed under: Lizzy CaplanIt's kind of a bummer that the Los Angeles comedy scene is oftentimes overshadowed by those in New York and Chicago, because there is some really funny shit going down over here. For this first blog, I'm interviewing comedian/actor extraordinaire Derek Waters whose Drunk History youtube videos are sweeping our great nation. As they should be. He basically gets a friend very drunk and then asks him to talk about a historical event. There are dramatic reenactments featuring Jack Black, Michael Cera and other people you've heard of and most likely enjoy. He also has a midnight show, LOL, the... MORE »

Warning: Surround Sound Needed
By Zach Galligan on 05/14/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganAfter talking about movies on Monday and music yesterday, I thought I would chat briefly about the next logical step : movies with music. No, not concert films (with the exception of a few - The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense come to mind - most are pretty ordinary), but films that have excellent music inextricably woven throughout the story. Here are three lesser known films that fit the bill: Rockers Sure, The Harder They Come is a midnight staple all over the country, but the less heralded Rockers stands up better over time.

Play This, Dammit!
By Zach Galligan on 05/13/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganIt's pretty obvious why classic rock radio is so dreary and moribund when it simply doesn't need to be: its play list is about 50 to 100 songs long. Seriously. Now, I love Boston as much as the next 40 something geeky white guy, but if I hear More Than a Feeling one more freakin' time, I'm gonna turn purple, soil myself, and explode into a thousand pieces. Speaking of purple, how come all you ever hear from Prince is Kiss and When Doves Cry? The guy has 4.2 billion songs, and those two are practically the only ones they... MORE »
Sequins

Filed under: Stormy DanielsOkay...some of you may think this is a frivolous post, but I feel I have to say something. I have noticed an alarming (and nauseating) trend lately in every nightclub, restaurant, and bar I have been to... It is NOT cool for a straight man to wear sequins and/or rhinestones! Leave the sparkly to the ladies. Seriously, the hot new fad of t-shirts with faux jewels on them is NOT cool. No man should ever look like a disco ball and while yes, it does get the attention of the females...it is not the kind you want. MORE »
"Blog" is the Ugliest Word I Have Ever Heard!!!!
By Jena Malone on 05/12/2008
Filed under: Jena MaloneI love words. I love learning new words and outdated words and mixing and mashing old words til new words emerge. We have so many in the English language our possibilities are endless. That's why when I come across a word that's really horrible, that feels like someone just burped and wrote down the syllables, I feel somehow cheated. And for me Blog is just that kind of word.

THE NEW JAZZ
By Clem Burke on 05/12/2008
Filed under: Clem BurkeIt's said that the only really true American art form is jazz music. It began in the U.S.A. with the assimilation of various musical idioms that came before such as African tribal and European classical. I'm here to add another to that list of one: Rock n Roll. That's right, that horrible racket we've all been listening to for the last 60 years. It's true, just like it's originators, rock n roll is old and established, it's legit. Elvis, Little Richard, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen etc.They all are great artists. MORE »

By Zach Galligan on 05/12/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganLike most people, I enjoy renting the latest films and checking out what I missed (or, usually, didn't) at the local Cineplex. But occasionally, I like to be challenged and entertained at the same time. Sure, it's fun to turn your brain off and watch the latest Jet Li film or formula romantic comedy, but sometimes I like to think, even if it's just for a couple of hours. These three films will definitely leave you pondering this giant thing we call Life. Sadly, you may have to do a little work in order to find them, but, hey, you're... MORE »
It's All You Need
By Zach Galligan on 05/09/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganTwo weeks ago, my lovely wife Ling and I spent some time in Las Vegas. We were there for the usual reasons - sun, fun, perhaps a little gambling - but our super objective (to use a popular acting term) was to see the Cirque de Soleil/ Beatles extravaganza, Love. She and I had both heard positive things and managed to score pretty solid seats (probably because it was a Sunday night, and Vegas, mercifully, was emptying out), so I would describe the level of anticipation as pretty damn high. We were not disappointed. Although I'm sure we influence each... MORE »

Filed under: Ray AbruzzoI have trouble sleeping at night. I have no trouble falling asleep during the day. There is a constant pain between my shoulder blades. At times, the pain feels the need to travel north to my neck only to return to its home, nestled between the blades with more conviction than before. My nerves are shot. I snap viciously at loved ones with little (but believe me, some) provocation. I wander around, lost, not knowing where I should go or what I should be doing. My appetite changes from not being able to find satisfaction in anything I eat (including... MORE »

Filed under: Evan Seinfeld, Tera PatrickIndependent Media ! the final frontier. As I watched the music career of my band Biohazard stay strong amongst the fans worldwide in the 90's while our bottom line spiraled down into the murky depths of finacial oblivion, I was plagued by an unceasing sense of impending doom, as if I were the captain of a sinking ship. It made no sense to me since our shows were packed and the tours were awesome, but then I reviewed the books. The income that we made from record sales had diminished to nothing. America had taken it's focus from album rock,... MORE »

And this morning, riding on the subway, my phone buzzed, signifying an e-mail, which turned out to be, of course, spam. But here's the thing: I get no service in the subway. Ever.

Who Would Have Thought

I thought we here in the adult industry (ahem...Porn Industry) were supposed to be open minded and forward thinking when it comes to sex....I guess I was wrong.

Rather, the sounds that are clamoring for space in my head are the crunchy, dulcet sounds of hard rock. I don't know which of these events triggered it - reading Chuck Klosterman's Fargo Rock City, getting re-hooked on Aerosmith and UFO, or discovering the 4:56 version of Better (the Chinese Democracy demo) - but I am officially on 1989 time...and I couldn't be happier.

Things You Should See : Human Tetris
By Zach Galligan on 05/06/2008
Filed under: Zach GalliganThe YouTube phenomenon has been, culturally speaking, kind of a double-edged sword. For every worthwhile clip (a herd of wildebeest dramatically fighting off a pack of lions, for example), humanity has been deluged with silly snippets of kitties swimming blithely in bathtubs, border collies destroying pumpkins for a Snausage, and mentally unstable fans declaring their undying love for Britney Spears. That's why I was cautiously jubilant when one of my students (I teach at Stonestreet Studios, a secondary studio affiliated with Tisch School of the Arts at NYU), Chelsey Donn, told me about a YouTube clip called Human Tetris.

Ten Songs For Your Listening Pleasure

The Age of Paradox and The New Bowery
By Clem Burke on 05/05/2008
Filed under: Clem BurkeBy Clem Burke Having just retuned from a few weeks in my hometown, NYC,it really hit me what a paradoxical decade we live in. I suppose living in Manhattan was always about the rich, middle and poor meeting head on but it seemed more evident then ever on the New Bowery. The new Bowery Hotel is directly next to a homeless shelter. How's that for paradox? Granted, back in the 70's this area did see an invasion of white middleclass rock and roll kids from the suburbs brushing up against the local residents but everyone was living in squalor. CBGB's...
