ex-Black Flag singer, current Rollins Band leader, "poet" and "spoken word artist" Henry Rollins recently hosted the Independent Film Channel's Henry's Film Corner, showcasing his favorite underground movies, and the network's suits liked him so much they're giving him his own talk show:

The Henry Rollins Show will break from IFN's predictable film-based coverage to become a wide-ranging talk show. IFN ordered a 20-episode run of the series for its first season. Rollins will begin work on the show as soon as he wraps up his latest spoken-word tour.


Maybe he'll talk about how men love power tools, and what's with those peanuts they serve on airplanes? According to IFC Vice-President Debbie DeMontreux:

“Henry’s blunt and brutally honest opinions on everything from the world of film to more complex and serious social and political issues will carry on in season two -- and will be delivered with the same energy and attitude that only Henry Rollins can deliver and that could only air on an uncensored network.”


Can you say "edgy!"?

I saw Henry's spoken word tour back in the 90s (for the Think Tank album). He was actually pretty good. I didn't always agree with his opinions, but he speaks his mnd, and is pretty funny. A talk show might be pretty good. As long as it's on IFC, Rollins is definately not appropriate for network tv.

He's like Andy Rooney for the angry, white male highschooler crowd.

I'd debate Rollins Band being punk, but not the fact that this is a great move!

Maybe this'll finally give people the chance to get over the whole 'he's a short alpha male mysoginist' idea. If anyone saw him on the tour after Think Tank talking about the loss of his girlfriend/partner....

If his albums are any gauge, this is either gonna be really, really good, and no one will watch it- or it's gonna be Hank being Hank for 30 to 60 minutes, and no one will watch it.

Say what you will, but I fucking love Henry Rollins (eh, see my name?).... I am actually seeing him tomorrow night, and can not fucking wait.

He is actually a very, very nice guy. I have had a few run ins with him, and they have all been great.

/looking forward to this.

I'm actually a big fan of his- I was referring to the respect he never seems to get, because too many people can't see past the "angry" guy, or the "punk rock" guy.

YES!!! This is exactly what I pray for daily, nightly. My God he is amazing. I want him to put his dick forth everywhere, wow. I hope he does this show naked. It's bad enough that all the girls and queers love him, come on Henry PLEASE! Something, we're so horny for you.

Just one segment of him going through a sexy weightlifting routine really naked with Danzig spotting him. Yay!
love love love

I don't see him as an "alpha male mysoginist". I see him as a standup comic, oh, I'm sorry "spoken word artist", with a few funny bits and a whole heaping lot of fundamentally pedestrian observations. But I'm not going to lie, I laughed at his CD at points.

He was on "Ultimate Film Fanatic" second season too. I don't really like him all that much, but I guess IFC does.

his film corner show on IFC is made up of actual critique about films that matter, unlike all the plastic network movie reviews of 'War of the Worlds' type crap

I have seen him speak twice..he does not take any shit, he pisses people off, he adheres to no party line, he sticks to his guns, and he calls people on their bullshit...which is exactly why I like him.

If I was gay, I would try to fuck him...If I was a woman, I would fuck him...since I am neither, I just listen, smile, and applaud. biggrin


(I will say this though..he is a much better speaker than he ever was as a singer, his "singing voice" is atrocious.......Henry, please don't kill me.)
