One more thing to notice about the porn star toys. Read my 1999 article, “Toys R Rated,” in the rants and reviews section. Turns out I predicted there’d be porn star figures eventually.

I didn’t think there’d be sadomasochistic ones first, though. Score one for Clive Barker.

Kicking in the Gore

Seems Al Gore has announced [...]

Well, shortly after I posted yesterday’s entry about Bush and Lott, Bush apparently issued a strong condemnation of Lott’s remarks. Also, as Tom Tomorrow has pointed out, Lott is on record as having made similar comments regarding Thurmond’s run for president on at least two other occasions.

It’s lucky Friday the 13th today. Maybe I’ll [...]

I know this has been done to death a bit on these shores, but for the benfit of international readers, thought I’d weigh in on the whole Trent Lott thing. Lott, if you don’t know, is a conservative Republican, and as of January will be Senate Majority leader. At retired Senator Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday [...]

Not having a car isn’t sooo bad — I get my cardio in every day, and it keeps my thighs from chafing. It only gets to be a pain in the butt-ox when I have an evening screening in Culver City and no friend with car wishes to join me. That this city is poorly [...]

OK, I’ve seen these porn star figures take a bashing from folks online, but I happened to be at a screening in the vicinity of Hustler Hollywood today, and decided to stop by and check ‘em out. I’ve been begging everyone I know to get me these for Xmas, so on the offchance anyone ordered [...]

Seems like only last month my transmission went out and I had it fixed for about $500+. That’s right, it was last month. The car’s dead again, and this time I’m letting it stay that way. Makes my goal of seeing every major movie by Dec. 20 a bit more of a challenge, especially since [...]

I forgot to mention, I actually came up with a new drink at the Colonial party: The LYT.

Here’s what you need:

Red soda (Safeway red twist, in this case, which tastes like Red Vines…mmmmm!)

vanilla Stoli

Blue soda (Safeway Razzberry Blast)

Lotsa ice cubes.

Fill glass with cubes. Fill about 1/3 of remaining space [...]

It's been a party hardy kinda holiday weekend. Let's see if I can remember any of it. Thursday was spent at Chez Campbells in Malibu, where many a good holiday has been held. Featuring ample food and booze, as well as the usual nude hot tubbing, though the casual skinny-dipping atmosphere was often [...]

Whatever the questionable, genocidal origins of the holiday we celebrate today, I do believe we can make it into what we want it to be by our celebration, and what I always like about it is what the name says — a time for giving thanks.

My review of the sci-fi “remake” Solaris is up at Clevescene.com: http://clevescene.com/issues/2002-11-27/film3.html/1/index.html

Due to a font that makes upper-case i and lower-case l look the same, I should clarify that the title of the piece is “Ocean’s ill heaven.”

UPDATED: miaminewtimes.com has the most readable headline of them all. Around 1/3 of the papers changed [...]
