The Hero's Journey is some mumblety-jumbo comparative literature nonsense by Joseph Campbell that's hung over the screenwriter's profession like an oily pall since STAR WARS came out. Everyone thinks George Lucas used Campbell's...

Yeah, you nose and tackle fall off and you die of insanity, but on the way you get these crazy, grandiose feelings that you understand everything. You feel as if you're on the brink of an Earth-cracking discovery. I'm...

So I ended up going to the premiere that night. The DayQ*il took away the body ach*s, and I just didn't speak to anyone to save my throat. Maybe it gave me an air of mystery. The afterparty was at Shag on Cahuenga. They had valet...

I can't remember ever being this sick

Which is good, 'cuz I'd hate to think I've been worse in the past, and could go lower in the future. My body hurts so much I want to cry, and I can't eat anything, even water. Wait, I guess that means I can't drink anything,...

...and already there's been UFO sightings over six states, an astronaut drove cross country wearing a diaper so she could murder someone, and Anna Nicole Smith dropped dead. 2006, weirdness-wise, is already a pu*sy. 2007 is...

I'm finally done tweaking my actual website. And I've got final details on...well, so much s*it. Comedians of Comedy @ NoisePop and Coachella. The Comedians of Comedy Troubadour Concert DVD release date and bonus goodies details....

They're remaking HALLOWEEN. But we need a competely fresh horror movie, and one based around a holiday we haven't used yet. Arbor Day. Secretary's Day. Jewish holidays? HANNU-KILL?

Astronaut love/murder

When they make a movie about the NASA astro-lady who tried to kill the other lady for the astronaut she loved, do you think they'll use Elton John's "Rocket Man" or Bowie's "Space Oddity" in the soundtrack?

How can I un-break my habit -- having to plunk down and blaze through my pile in front of coffee, eggs and bacon before I do anything else? I actually have s*it to finish. I should focus on...oh s*it, a new issue of SCALPED!
