THOUGHTS ON THE NOUGHTS
The decade in a nutshell:
I vividly remember Election Night 2000 and how crazy it was: the back and forth and back again “projections” of a winner and driving home at 2AM from a viewing party at a fellow political-junkie friend’s house with the outcome still unresolved. I had started taking antidepressants the day before and was the only one who didn’t drink at the party...

What’s LA’s best kept secret?
If I told you, it wouldn’t be secret now, would it…
I don’t think you know LA’s best kept secret. That is not a question. Sorry.
You’re right. I don’t do cocaine at afterhours clubs anymore. So I most likely no longer still know LA’s best kept secret, as the address has probably changed.

I get deep responding to a question from SkeetOnMischa on formspring.me.
TWITTER'S DOWN
Clearly a conspiracy by the cyber-hacking regiment of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to keep people from live Tweeting this week’s episode of “Jersey Shore.”

FUCK YOU BOBBY FLAY!
I just burnt the fuck out of my thumb on a fucking roast pan. 550º for a roast? Are you fucking kidding me? It really fucking hurts. Do you have any idea how hard it is to use the space bar with a burnt fucking thumb?

Follow up question: What are your thoughts on John Milius? Thanks to BFE, I’ve fallen in love with the Reagan era action film again. Do you think we’ll see a return to that style of politically charged action film or it will be more of the liberal action films of Paul Greengrass and Kathryn Bigelow? And finally, do you really think James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow will be...

My BFE comrade SkeetOnMischa asked me a question on Formspring and I figured I’d repost the answer here.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE WALTER HILL FILM? by skeetonmischa
Hill’s run from 1975-1984 is damn near perfect: “Hard Times,” “The Driver” (which never gets the credit it deserves for influencing the entire aesthetic of Michael Mann), “The Warriors” (!!!), “The Long Riders,”...
LIVING IN THE POST 9/11 ERA
My Lovely GF: So I'm on the bus and there's this man in front of me and he's praying and reading all these Koran pamphlets that are spread out on the seat next to him, and I don't really think anything of it, but then he pulls out a celphone, dials a number and immediately hangs up and I immediately think "Oh My God... this is it" and I start mentally saying all my goodbyes to everyone and I picked up the phone to call you and say goodbye and... wait... never mind, he just got off the bus. Does that make me a horrible person?

How was Los Angeles different when you were growing up? by tothemaxxx
Dude… I’m not THAT old. But, since you asked, I’d say its geography wasn’t quite so economically polarized. And by that, I mean that several neighborhoods that now are exclusively enclaves of the ultra-well-to-do with high-seven figure salaries were actually, once, kind of quaint, charming and relatively...

For someone who truly hates talking about himself, this is, nevertheless, a surprisingly great way to pass the time while fighting insomnia. Thanks, peeps.
