Dear Kelley and Fern,As you both noted earlier, John Woo’s Manhunt was a thrilling, tongue-in-cheek compendium of the director's best qualities. This kind of masterful self-reflexivity may rub some the wrong way—remember, at the time, the hostility to De Palma’s Femme Fatale and Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. as if they were only Directors' Greatest Hits?—but when done smartly this is no mere masturbation, but a celebration and self-questioning, honed to deft precision, of an artist’s perennial themes.Such is the case with one of the few great feature films I've seen here in Toronto, Paul Schrader’s First Reformed. In remarkable contrast to his last film, the coked-up cartoon Dog Eat Dog, it is is a self-consciously austere drama of a wearied priest (a tremendous, hollowed-out Ethan Hawke) of a minuscule congregation housed in the oldest church in America, one dismissively dubbed the ‘souvenirs shop’ by the newer,...

Steve Niles is best known for creating 30 Days of Night, the comic that inspired the movie, but he is a man with fingers in a lot of pies. Since the early 1990s he has worked for pretty damn near every comic company, big and small. He has written Batman, The Creeper, Spawn, 28 Days Later, and X-Files, as well as his own creations Cal McDonald, Simon Dark, Mystery Society, and more. Generally eschewing super-heroes for the horror genre, he has gained a large following of dedicated fans.
With his strong Diy attitude and outspoken push for better creator rights, women’s rights, gender equality, and animal rights, Steve is a man of principle. He is also one of the nicest and most gracious people in comics. Steve always has time to interact with his fans, both online and at conventions or signings.
He has generously taken time out of his busy schedule,...

He's fascinated by the atom bomb and once played a gig for Satan. Is Australia ready for Lustmord?
When the Church of Satan wanted to celebrate their 40th anniversary – and 06/06/06 – with a ritual in Los Angeles, they called Lustmord. The pioneer of ultra-niche music genre "dark ambient" hadn't performed live since the early 80s, preferring to make his music in the studio, but thought the opportunity was too hilarious to turn down.
"Satanists from around the world were flying in for this private event," he says. "People have this image of me as dark so I thought I had to do the gig. It was Spinal Tap – too funny to say no." So he donned the black robes the church made for him (usually he plays in a T-shirt) and played his droning, alluring music while the Satanists got on with worshipping the devil.
So is he a Satanist? "I'm a hardcore atheist,...

House and Alcatraz both took a small step down in the ratings Monday, yet nonetheless led Fox to win the night.
With CBS airing repeats of its powerful comedy block, veteran House (8.6 million viewers, 2.8 adults 18-49 rating) and newcomer Alcatraz (8.3 million, 2.7) both were at the top of their respective hours. (Well, Alcatraz tied for the win.) Both were down 10 percent from last week.
ABC’s The Bachelor (8.1 million, 2.6) was down a tenth. NBC had a repeat of Fear Factor, the Who’s Still Standing finale (6.6 million, 1.7) and Rock Center With Brian Williams (3.3 million, 0.8). Over in the magical CW Land, Gossip Girl (1.4 million,...

Lamest Twist: The only thing shocking about Sunday’s “big reveal” on Dexter was that nobody on the writing staff had the foresight to realize how ridiculously predictable it was.
Sudsiest Developments: Only a few short months after becoming General Hospital’s headwriter, Garin Wolf was bumped in favor of Ron Carlivati, whose current soap, One Life To Live, finished taping two weeks ago and last airs in January. Also joining Gh? Oltl’s former executive producer, Frank Valentini, replacing longtime Gh Ep Jill Farren Phelps.
Biggest Conflict: Despite our general disdain for shameless product placements, the hilarious and heartfelt way in which Parks And Recreation continues to handle Ben and Leslie’s relationship has earned the show a pass on Thursday’s not-so-subtle advertisement for the “Li’l Sebastian Plush.” Well, that and we really really want one.
Quote Of The Week: “”Talking strategy with Brandon is like talking...

I’d never thought I’d live to see the day that Elizabeth Lemon was with child. Then again, it was only a fake pregnancy. But I’m getting ahead of myself here.
