Darick Robertson was previously best known for co-creating Transmetropolitan with Warren Ellis. He is also one of the comic industrys most realistic artists, sometimes disturbingly so. Not that his artwork is photorealistic like Alex Ross or overly detailed like Neal Adams but his characters just look real. Apparently Robertson was taken to task for that when he based the lead character in The Boys, Wee...

I've read so many of your interviews and had no idea you had passed away, I am so sad to see this. I was coming by to say hello. It's comforting to see all of these messages from people that love and care about you.

Little did I know that the Scottish guy that took over Howard Hessemans role on Head of the Class, Billy Connolly, would go on to become one of the funnier comedians working today. But over the past ten years Connolly has gotten more acclaim as an actor in films like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Last Samurai and SuicideGirls favorite Boondock Saints....

To be fair, he was one of the funnier comedians long before head of the class.

Great interview. I loved Fido. Very funny.
With Spent, autobiographical cartoonist Joe Matt has finally laid to rest his pornography and masturbation addiction. Jerking off 20 times a day will do that to you. In the grand tradition of Robert Crumb, Matt has been exploring his suburban-like depravity for years in his autobiographical comic book Peepshow, which has been collected in a number of trade paperbacks. His latest, Spent, focuses on the...

Ive had a crush on Sandra Bernhard ever since her spread in Playboy years ago. But even before that I loved her comedy and her work in films like Hudson Hawk (Ball! Ball!) and her great role on Roseanne. But Bernhard is best known for her acerbic comedy showcased in the many CDs she has released. Her latest is Everything Bad and Beautiful and it...

Looks-wise, she is a sewer donkey. Comedy-wise, very much the opposite of funny.
She also ruined King of Comedy, the only decent thing she ever took part in.
A poor actress and undeserving of any attention.

I think she's awesome.
Masters of Horror: The Screwfly Solution is Joe Dantes best film yet. Thats high praise for the man who has directed such classics as Gremlins 2, The Howling and last seasons gem Homecoming. But it is not hyperbole. Learning from his days working on B-movies to the heights of the studio system, Dante was able to take the tiny budget that he was given and...

As always Joe is articulate & insightful. his knowledge of film history both classical & popular is unmatched. He really sees the themes & trends that got us to where we are today. His cynicism keeps it interesting.
"Homecoming" was genius.

Way to ask the Gremlins 3 question! But in several interviews with Dante, he has always basically refused to be involved with another sequel... 
Great Interview!

Johnny To is one of Hong Kongs most respected filmmakers. He has done films in nearly every genre from romantic comedies to horror films. His latest to be released in the US is Triad Election. Every two years in Hong Kong a new godfather must be elected but this time the old leader isnt ready to go. Prepare for a bloodbath.

You'd bang Johnny To!?!?!? what turns you on about him?
Howard Chaykin is a comic book legend. Being the self deprecating cat that he is, Chaykin might disagree with that but it is undoubtedly true. He first appeared on the comic book scene during the 70s boom. He did a lot of work for the big two including drawing the influential Star Wars comic series. But Chaykin truly did not come into his own until...

No comments? Sad. Chaykin truly is a legend. And he's such a cranky bastard you just gotta love him.
After co-creating characters like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kevin Eastman could have just sat back on his laurels and collected very large checks for the rest of his life. But first and foremost Kevin Eastman is a comic book fan and creator and when you give those guys funds, great things can happen. Eastman bought Heavy Metal magazine in 1991, wrote the movie Heavy...

it would be cool if Roddy McDowall were still alive

I agree. He was a lovable chimp.
By coincidence, I was just watching an old, Chuck Jones animated version of Rudyard Kipling's "The White Seal" with my son. It was narrated by McDowall. Too cool.

With the release of 24 Hour Party People in 2002 Tony Wilson became a household name in the minds of the people in the know. The film became a biography of Wilson who is best known for managing such seminal bands as Happy Mondays and Joy Division but due to contracts not being up to legal snuff, Wilson was never able to profit much. But...
