Podcast and Celebrities

my favourite podcast is the BS Report with Bill Simmons. He is a writer for ESPN and references pop culture. If you are a male, white American between the ages of 19-38 there is a 75% chance you know of him. Also, if you fit into that demographic then I probably dont know you.

If I were to have dinner with any celebrity it would be Bill Simmons, hands down.

Anyway, yesterday he had David Duchovny on the podcast whom he is friends with. They talked Knicks, X-Files and roles he turned down. The most interesting thing Duchovny brushed upon was celebrity pick-up basketball at Gary Shandling's house. He talked about how Adam Sandler is a physical player and Sarah Silverman being the only female to step on the court.

If you are bored, please download and enjoy this fine episode.

this post is for my friend chad holmes.

Dennis Hopper

one of the world's best people is dying. dennis hopper. i was reminded of this because i read a blurb in the paper about how he has to pay something around $12,000 a month because of his divorce as he battles cancer. horrible.

its not often you can plan to hear about someone you admire die. there are too many awesome things he has done to list. please wiki him and learn somethin about him before the tragic news breaks.

must watch

one of my favourite films of the past year is coming to dvd. it's called Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. It stars Nicholas Cage and Val Kilmer. Cage is perfectly casted in this role as a deranged, drug-addled cop. I highly recommend it if you enjoyed the original with Harvey Kietel. Keep in mind this film is rated R (a rarity these days) for its explicit drug use, explicit language and explicit performance. (Cage uses a crack pipe multiple times.)

the only bad thing i gotta say about this movie is that xzibit is in it.
