“The negotiations were pushed into public view on Monday when two publications,...”
– That’s The New York Times explaining the current contract impasse between AMC and “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner, which is delaying production of the award-winning series. You listen to me, AMC: Give that man his minutes so I can get back to loving your show. Heaven forbid the show goes over time...

Jeffrey Ross on Bill Simmons' podcast →
“Bill Simmons is joined by Roastmaster General Jeff Ross to discuss the Donald Trump roast, classic and untelevised roasts, Greg Giraldo’s death and more.” I am slowly catching up on my podcasts the way my mom says she’s catching up on her soaps. Good guest and solid 80 minute listen. Noteworthy shit -Ross talks about behind-the-scenes stuff of Roasts -Ross talks about...

NBA players' union leader takes bold stand →
The NBA’s lockout is going to last longer than the NFL will Adrian Wojnarowski: …This year, (Billy) Hunter said he told Stern this story: “I don’t know where you were raised, but I lived with rats. I used to kill rats. We had a .22 rifle and we would lay in the kitchen and shoot them on the floor. One thing my grandmother taught me was that if you got a rat trapped, you’ve got to...

funnyordie: Boston Movie Trailer Boston is in so many movies that it finally necessitated a movie of its own. Caught me off guard that they inserted Charlie Sheen during the prison scene of the Fighter and then cut right to Christian Bale.

Adrian Wojnarkowski: "Fear and Loathing of David... →
Wojnarowski is my favorite NBA writer. Consistently good. I think Bill Simmons, by himself, has been the most damning of any mainstream NBA writer of Clippers owner Donald Sterling (the worst owner and person in sports) or David Stern (the latter of which he has a bit of a rapport with on his podcast). But I hope that Woj gets his due. He has been digging up a lot of good stories & quotes more...

"Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology" →
I’m a slow reader, so it took me 2 and a half hours to read this article, but Lawrence Wright did a really explosive job with this. It was long because the story is so BIG and exposes Scientology for being a cult. It’s so shady and so fascinating. Paul Thomas Anderson has been working on getting a Scientology film made. If I lived closer or traveled in Hollywood circles, maybe...

WTF w/Marc Maron - Ep 130 - Mike DeStefano →
azizisbored: Earlier this week, comedian Mike DeStefano passed away. I didn’t get a chance to really know Mike, but I had listened to his episode of Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast and its truly amazing. Not only is it hilarious, its simply one of the most interesting, touching, inspiring interviews I’ve ever heard. If you like Marc’s podcast at all, this episode is generally hailed as one of the best,...

The 20s: Jack of All Trades, Master of None.... →
the20s: Jack of All Trades, Master of None. According to the The New York Times, actor James Franco took a redeye back to the East Coast after his stint hosting the Oscars and was back at Yale for 9:25AM class the following Monday morning. And while I applaud Franco for his endless determination to be… I am torn on James Franco. People either love or hate him. What matters is that...

William Goldman on Bill Simmons' Podcast
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/show?showId=bsreport ^link to the podcast. Goldman & Simmons talk the Oscars and the NY Knicks. When I took an Intro to Screenwriting class the summer before my Freshman year of college in 2005, William Goldman’s Which Lie Did I Tell? was required to be read as a Bible. I really took to it. If you are interested in writing (or just love movies) then this is...
