Kevin Smith and Geoffrey Dicker
Oh, how I love Kevin Smith! “Clerks,” “Dogma” and “Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back” are movies that will not just make you laugh, but will probably make you pee your pants from laughing so hard. No matter how many times I watch his films, I laugh out loud many times, every time. I’ve met Kevin Smith many times in my “pre camera” days and he’s always super cool to his fans. In fact, when I asked him to take a photo the other night, he responded with “Of course!” LOVE that! Thanks again Kevin for all the laughs – past, present and future!

Oliver Stone
I used to really love Oliver Stone’s movies. He experienced war, had a love for counterculture and was a big fan of The Doors. He went on to make a bio-pic about Jim Morrison that was way more fiction than fact and introduced the Doors as a drug band to a new generation of fans instead of focusing on the groundbreaking music they made in a very short time. It was almost forgivable but years later, Stone made a movie about George W. Bush that attempts to ask the audience for sympathy for one of the most loathsome creatures that has walked the face of the earth since Hitler. Disgusting, according2g! Oops. I am on my soap box again. Perhaps he’ll snap out of it and make a return to making good movies…

John Waters reading from "Role Models"
On April 27, 2011, legendary film maker John Waters made an appearance at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York to read passages from his book “Role Models.” Who are some of John Waters’ role models, you ask? Singer Johnny Mathis, writer Tennessee Williams, a gay reality-porn auteur, a lesbian stripper called Lady Zorro, and ex-Charles Manson groupie and murderer Leslie Van Houten. John Waters is one of my role models – that’s for sure!
John Waters - "Role Models." Out now!

Rob Reiner
Happy birthday to actor turned director Rob Reiner. Most famously, Rob Reiner was “Meathead” on the hit show “All in the Family.” Later he went on to direct Stephen King’s “Misery,” which is my favorite Stephen King book-to-movie adapataion. Also born on this day: basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal, baseball great Willie Stargell, comedian Tom Arnold and Lou Costello.
