It’s really the source of the show’s greatness. Too often we’re all confronted with shit that’s just way too weird and way too uncomfortable. But so is life.\r\n\r\nAwkward moments always make for good comedy. Whether you’re dealing with your buddy’s quirky behavior, stupid people at work, unwanted comments about your facial hair, or random encounters with actors or homeless people, there are plenty of situations in life where things can turn strange pretty fast.\r\n\r\nOne thing that’s super-strange is the fact that HBO decided to cancel “The Life &amp; Times of Tim” this summer, and now the show’s looking for a new home. And it’s really a shame, cause the show’s pretty damn good.  I had a chance to ask <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v82w4dVaZEc\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Dildarian</a>, the creator of “The Life and Times of Tim,” some questions about the show:\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Who\'s the inspiration behind Tim? Is he a semi-autobiographical character?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: Tim vaugely resembles me in his hairstyle, build and wardrobe, but the similarities end there. I\'ve never squeezed an old lady\'s boobs at a wedding reception and I\'ve never (knock on wood) been raped by a bum.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Is it exhausting being the creator, writer, director, executive producer and lead voice of the show? How do you juggle all your different roles?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: The only exhausting part can be the recording sessions, because I\'m directing the talent and also performing as an actor in 90% of the scenes. It\'s a lot of fun though, so I usually don\'t realize how drained I am until the end of the day, when suddenly it dawns on me that I\'ve been talking non-stop since 9am.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How much improvisation goes down in the voice over sessions? Do you ever mix up the script a bit with Nick Kroll?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: Improv is a big part of the show, but it\'s more to create a general tone than anything. If you compared one of our scripts with the finished episode, all the words would be different, but the jokes would land in pretty much the same places. The structure and rhythm don\'t change, just the specifics.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What do you think it is about the quirky-awkwardness of the show that really resonates with people?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: I think what resonates is Tim\'s point of view - how sometimes in life it can feel like everyone is crazy except you. The show is much more reality-based than most animation, so I think that works in our favor too. People aren\'t expecting an animated show to feel quite so painfully real.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: The show is in syndication in a few different countries overseas. What\'s been the international reaction so far?\r\n\r\nSD: It translates very well, which I was surprised by. The show is playing everywhere from the UK to Italy, Greece, Ireland, etc. I guess the humor is relatable since it\'s just a guy who has lots of problems in life. We don\'t necessarily do \"American\" humor, or pop culture references, so that helps.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Any updates on where the show will end up next?

It’s really the source of the show’s greatness. Too often we’re all confronted with shit that’s just way too weird and way too uncomfortable. But so is life.\n\nAwkward moments always make for good comedy. Whether you’re dealing with your buddy’s quirky behavior, stupid people at work, unwanted comments about your facial hair, or random encounters with actors or homeless people, there are plenty of situations in life where things can turn strange pretty fast.\n\nOne thing that’s super-strange is the fact that HBO decided to cancel “The Life &amp; Times of Tim” this summer, and now the show’s looking for a new home. And it’s really a shame, cause the show’s pretty damn good.  I had a chance to ask Steve Dildarian, the creator of “The Life and Times of Tim,” some questions about the show:\n\nCS: Who\'s the inspiration behind Tim? Is he a semi-autobiographical character?\n\nSD: Tim vaugely resembles me in his hairstyle, build and wardrobe, but the similarities end there. I\'ve never squeezed an old lady\'s boobs at a wedding reception and I\'ve never (knock on wood) been raped by a bum.\n\nCS: Is it exhausting being the creator, writer, director, executive producer and lead voice of the show? How do you juggle all your different roles?\n\nSD: The only exhausting part can be the recording sessions, because I\'m directing the talent and also performing as an actor in 90% of the scenes. It\'s a lot of fun though, so I usually don\'t realize how drained I am until the end of the day, when suddenly it dawns on me that I\'ve been talking non-stop since 9am.\n\nCS: How much improvisation goes down in the voice over sessions? Do you ever mix up the script a bit with Nick Kroll?\n\nSD: Improv is a big part of the show, but it\'s more to create a general tone than anything. If you compared one of our scripts with the finished episode, all the words would be different, but the jokes would land in pretty much the same places. The structure and rhythm don\'t change, just the specifics.\n\nCS: What do you think it is about the quirky-awkwardness of the show that really resonates with people?\n\nSD: I think what resonates is Tim\'s point of view - how sometimes in life it can feel like everyone is crazy except you. The show is much more reality-based than most animation, so I think that works in our favor too. People aren\'t expecting an animated show to feel quite so painfully real.\n\nCS: The show is in syndication in a few different countries overseas. What\'s been the international reaction so far?\n\nSD: It translates very well, which I was surprised by. The show is playing everywhere from the UK to Italy, Greece, Ireland, etc. I guess the humor is relatable since it\'s just a guy who has lots of problems in life. We don\'t necessarily do \"American\" humor, or pop culture references, so that helps.\n\nCS: Any updates on where the show will end up next? What can fans do to help the show find a new home?\n\nSD: We\'re in the middle of talks but hopefully we\'ll have good news soon.

Mixed Martial Arts has seen explosive and exponential growth, sustaining this unprecedented run in terms of both eyeballs in the stadiums and on tv, as well as financially, given the monetary prowess of the now-institutional UFC, or Ultimate Fighting Championship.\r\n\r\nAs with all trends in sports, there are standout moments. The defining heroics and antics that stand out in short-term history, whether for water cooler gossip or long-term holy shit moments. If the sport ends up making it for the long term, and this will only happen if UFC single-handedly corrects the ills that led to boxing\'s tragic downfall, then we just might be talking about some of this stuff for the long haul. But only time will tell. These appear numbered below, but not necessarily \"ranked\" in priority or meaning.\r\n\r\n<strong>5. Ginger Fighters</strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1213\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"140\" caption=\"Ed Herman, Ginger Fighter\"]<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/20090905020702_edherman.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1213 \" title=\"20090905020702_edherman\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/20090905020702_edherman.jpg\" alt=\"ed herman\" width=\"140\" height=\"210\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nNot gonna\' lie. My sister and I have a lifelong fascination with Gingers. This did not start with the onset of South Park, either. This is a much weirder deal. Now if little red headed freckled people are singled out and considered sissies as children, then MMA would surely end up being a likely safe-haven for them once they reach early adulthood. And the UFC, being the pinnacle of organized MMA at this point (and into the foreseeable future, thankfully), did its part to salute Gingers everywhere, just about chopping the head permanently off the rumor that redheads can\'t fight. <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter_3\" target=\"_blank\">Season 3 of The Ultimate Fighter</a> featured grudge-match coaches Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock going toe to toe, but what really stood out about that season (spring/summer \'06) were the fighters, which included among others: Michael Bisping, Kendall Grove, Matt Hamill, and of course, ginger Ed Herman. This Team Quest member, Pacific Northwest native, redhead fights in the 185-lb. weight class and excepting the injury that has sidelined him recently, <a href=\"http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ed-Herman-6561\" target=\"_blank\">Ed \"Short Fuse\" Herman</a> is a complete and total badass. Although Kendall Grove ended up taking the TUF season finale, all three judges scored the fight 29-28, very close, and Dana White granted Herman, the loser in this case, a 6-figure deal as well.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Vegans in MMA?

It\'s just not the case every single time. Far be it from you and I to understand how a Vegan of all personalities and persuasions, could make the leap up to UFC caliber fighting. But again, the Ultimate Marketing juggernaut that is The Ultimate Fighter Reality Show produced just such a spectacle for its ongoing PR campaign in <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter:_Team_Hughes_vs._Team_Serra\" target=\"_blank\">TUF Season 6</a>, in the form of lightweight fighter <a href=\"http://www.macdanzig.net/down.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mac Danzig</a>. Now I am sure I\'m not the only one who has been a bit disappointed with Danzig\'s performance since joining the pro ranks of the UFC, but he is a confident, capable fighter who might just be temporarily missing that \"x\" factor that makes a champion. Still worth the watch, for sure.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. TUF as a Franchise: The Only Reality TV (Barely) Worth Watching</strong>\r\nThe Ultimate Franchise: a reality television show that extends and controls the brand, introduces brand new personalities to its audience, and shows the true struggle in terms of training and living that these fighters go through in order to be the real athletes that they are before they step in the cage -- that is <a href=\"http://www.ultimatefighter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Ultimate Fighter</a>. I don\'t think that cage fighting could have become what it is today without this television show. Sure, rules and regulations have made the sport something beyond just blood and gore to talk about the next day at work. Creating a shift in perception that is monumental? Leave that up to tv -- and Dana White nailed it with this one. Just enough of the at-times locker room toddler bullshit, and right before you get sick of some of these occasional idiots\' bravado, you get to see them fight. I don\'t care for watching people argue, or trash talk, or puff themselves up with lofty ideas of becoming champions. What I care about is picking a winner, developing an appreciation for a fighter\'s craft, and watching them grow into true professionals. And there is all that and more on TUF.\r\n\r\n<strong>2.

It\'s pretty much like a fun-style bed, think \"racing car bed form for toddlers,\" and then throw it up on steroids and have its father beat the holy hell out of it when it\'s just a little toddler bed. Which we have before now, always referred to simply as \"a crib.\" That\'s right. We\'re forced now to retrofit our language as we evolve as humans, thanks to MMA. Your infant\'s crib is a four-sided cage, and when the little hooligan grows up just a little bit, you\'re gonna\' do nothing more than double the amount of walls he will be surrounded by. Octagon, baby. Don\'t ever look back.\r\n\r\n<strong>1 Old School Vs New School Shit Talking: Gracie vs Hughes</strong>\r\nI\'m guessing I\'m not alone when I tell you that as a television personality and a fighter, I don\'t like <a href=\"http://matt-hughes.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Hughes</a>. I don\'t know what it is, but his arrogance, regardless of his wealth of talent, just rubs me the wrong way. Now were I to meet him in real life, maybe he\'s a great guy. I could see a ton of integrity and grit. I have nothing against him personally, I don\'t even know him. But in terms of the entertainer aspect that I do know of him, I don\'t like him. So when the grudge match went backwards through history, and no one other than the father of the sport was called out, <a href=\"http://www.roycegracie.tv/\" target=\"_blank\">Royce Gracie</a>, there seemed to be a lot on the line there. I only wish, as I am sure many other do too, that these two fighters had met in their prime. To watch old bouts of cage fighting, with round robin tournaments and fewer rules and no weight classes, Gracie practically put the first iteration of the sport on the map, without any help from anyone else. Playing up the historical aspect of the brand was one of the greatest things that Dana White and UFC could have done. Genius marketing, to be sure -- but marketing that works well typically has a great product behind it. And in this case, heck yes.\r\n\r\nThe bottom line here is that the UFC has made a good product a great one, through marketing. And in a very basic light, the lynchpin of their marketing strategy has been to link up MMA and its constituent parts with other areas of popular, contemporary culture: vegan eating habits and politics, reality television, raising children to succeed as athletes beyond known levels and at any cost. Continued growth will require a consistent parallel development where new viewers are given reasons to watch these pure athletes go up against each other in a cage that shows off how one combination of fighting styles might just be superior to another similar combination that is not exactly the same.\r\n\r\n(Images Via: <a href=\"http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ed-Herman-6561\">Sherdog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Mac-Danzig-3396\">Sherdog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.bloodyelbow.com/\">Bloody Elbow</a>)','MMA Highlights From Recent Years Past','An examination of recent highlights, and a few lowlights, that in total have conspired to make the Ultimate Fighting Championship exactly the monolith that it is.','publish','open','open','','mma-highlights-from-recent-years-past','','','2010-07-28 18:28:49','2010-07-29 01:28:49','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=1206',0,'post','',3),(1207,5,'2010-07-28 15:10:35','2010-07-28 22:10:35','If you\'re a dude, and I am guessing you most likely are or will easily be able to tell that you are not, then you know MMA.

I don\'t think that cage fighting could have become what it is today without this television show.

Leave that up to tv -- and Dana White nailed it with this one. Just enough of the at-times locker room toddler bullshit, and right before you get sick of some of these occasional idiots\' bravado, you get to see them fight. I don\'t care for watching people argue, or trash talk, or puff themselves up with lofty ideas of becoming champions.

But again, the Ultimate Marketing juggernaut that is The Ultimate Fighter Reality Show produced just such a spectacle for its ongoing PR campaign in <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter:_Team_Hughes_vs._Team_Serra\" target=\"_blank\">TUF Season 6</a>, in the form of lightweight fighter <a href=\"http://www.macdanzig.net/down.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mac Danzig</a>. Now I am sure I\'m not the only one who has been a bit disappointed with Danzig\'s performance since joining the pro ranks of the UFC, but he is a confident, capable fighter who might just be temporarily missing that \"x\" factor that makes a champion. Still worth the watch, for sure.\r\n\r\n<strong>3 TUF as a Franchise: The Only Reality TV (Barely) Worth Watching</strong>\r\nThe Ultimate Franchise: a reality television show that extends and controls the brand, introduces brand new personalities to its audience, and shows the true struggle in terms of training and living that these fighters go through in order to be the real athletes that they are before they step in the cage -- that is <a href=\"http://www.ultimatefighter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Ultimate Fighter</a>. I don\'t think that cage fighting could have become what it is today without this television show. Sure, rules and regulations have made the sport something beyond just blood and gore to talk about the next day at work. Creating a shift in perception that is monumental? Leave that up to tv -- and Dana White nailed it with this one. Just enough of the at-times locker room toddler bullshit, and right before you get sick of some of these occasional idiots\' bravado, you get to see them fight. I don\'t care for watching people argue, or trash talk, or puff themselves up with lofty ideas of becoming champions. What I care about is picking a winner, developing an appreciation for a fighter\'s craft, and watching them grow into true professionals. And there is all that and more on TUF.\r\n\r\n<strong>2 Throwdown Cage Bed for Kids?

It\'s pretty much like a fun-style bed, think \"racing car bed form for toddlers,\" and then throw it up on steroids and have its father beat the holy hell out of it when it\'s just a little toddler bed. Which we have before now, always referred to simply as \"a crib.\" That\'s right. We\'re forced now to retrofit our language as we evolve as humans, thanks to MMA. Your infant\'s crib is a four-sided cage, and when the little hooligan grows up just a little bit, you\'re gonna\' do nothing more than double the amount of walls he will be surrounded by. Octagon, baby. Don\'t ever look back.\r\n\r\n<strong>1 Old School Vs New School Shit Talking: Gracie vs Hughes</strong>\r\nI\'m guessing I\'m not alone when I tell you that as a television personality and a fighter, I don\'t like <a href=\"http://matt-hughes.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Hughes</a>. I don\'t know what it is, but his arrogance, regardless of his wealth of talent, just rubs me the wrong way. Now were I to meet him in real life, maybe he\'s a great guy. I could see a ton of integrity and grit. I have nothing against him personally, I don\'t even know him. But in terms of the entertainer aspect that I do know of him, I don\'t like him. So when the grudge match went backwards through history, and no one other than the father of the sport was called out, <a href=\"http://www.roycegracie.tv/\" target=\"_blank\">Royce Gracie</a>, there seemed to be a lot on the line there. I only wish, as I am sure many other do too, that these two fighters had met in their prime. To watch old bouts of cage fighting, with round robin tournaments and fewer rules and no weight classes, Gracie practically put the first iteration of the sport on the map, without any help from anyone else. Playing up the historical aspect of the brand was one of the greatest things that Dana White and UFC could have done. Genius marketing, to be sure -- but marketing that works well typically has a great product behind it. And in this case, heck yes.\r\n\r\nThe bottom line here is that the UFC has made a good product a great one, through marketing. And in a very basic light, the lynchpin of their marketing strategy has been to link up MMA and its constituent parts with other areas of popular, contemporary culture: vegan eating habits and politics, reality television, raising children to succeed as athletes beyond known levels and at any cost. Continued growth will require a consistent parallel development where new viewers are given reasons to watch these pure athletes go up against each other in a cage that shows off how one combination of fighting styles might just be superior to another similar combination that is not exactly the same.\r\n\r\n(Images Via: <a href=\"http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ed-Herman-6561\">Sherdog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Mac-Danzig-3396\">Sherdog</a>, <a href=\"http://www.bloodyelbow.com/\">Bloody Elbow</a>)','MMA Highlights From Recent Years Past','An examination of recent highlights, and a few lowlights, that in total have conspired to make the Ultimate Fighting Championship exactly the monolith that it is.','inherit','open','open','','1206-revision-12','','','2010-07-28 17:46:17','2010-07-29 00:46:17','',1206,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1206-revision-12/',0,'revision','',0),(1223,1,'2010-07-28 18:03:29','2010-07-29 01:03:29','If you\'re a dude (and I am guessing you most likely are or will easily be able to tell that you are not), then it is safe to assume that you know MMA.

Goldsmith has been acting since the ‘70s. He’s been on Dallas, MacGuyver, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, T.J. Hooker, the A-Team, Dynasty, CHiPs and Charlie’s Angels. You probably know him best as The Most Interesting Man in the World, the ultra-fascinating, smooth-talking spokesman for Dos Equis.\r\n\r\nI had the opportunity to speak with Jonathan, and as it turns out, the actor behind The Most Interesting Man in the World is a pretty interesting guy himself. He’s articulate, well-read and he lives on a boat. He’s traveled the world, supported many causes and he’s a damn good story-teller.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Is there a burden for being recognized as the most interesting man in the world?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Is it a burden? No. It’s an absolute joy for me. I’ve had a very good career for over 40 years. And the attention that I’m getting, I absolutely love. It’s wonderful. It’s kind of non-stop and I really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice. So do people stop you on the street all the time and say things like, “stay thirsty?”\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s most frequent thing I get is, “stay thirsty” and a lot of people say, “Please, please just leave this message on my voicemail” or “talk to my fiancé” or whatever, but and it’s nice that people remember more of the lines than I do and some of them are even from the first year. We just entered the fourth year of the campaign so that’s very flattering and I love that, of course. It makes people smile.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that the inspiration behind your character came from an old friend, Fernando Llamas, the father of Lorenzo Llamas.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s correct.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What is it about your old friend that you channel when you play The Most Interesting Man in the World?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I just he was one the most charming raconteurs that I’ve ever met. A real man’s man. He was an athlete. He was an incredible swordsman and charming. He could tell the dirtiest jokes and it was never vulgar. He was, I guess, the quintessential gentleman, and man’s man and he was just a delight to be around. I live on a sailboat and he was one of my sailing buddies. We had a production company together at one time and when he passed on I scattered his ashes off my boat.\r\n\r\n<strong><!--more-->CS</strong>: Oh, that’s, that’s a nice way to go out\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well listen, we all have to go Chris, you know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, I mean that’s what I did with my grandparents, too. I think it’s a bit more, I don’t know… it’s a bit better than having people come visit a headstone. That kinda thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG: </strong>Aw, Jesus, I think so too. I’m on my way tomorrow to Vermont trying to buy a farm up there. My father was a fly fisherman, which is the thing that I most enjoy, and I scattered his ashes on a little stream up there and now I’m going to hopefully purchase a second home not far from that spot. I think that’s a nice thing to remember somebody by. Better than a headstone.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s it like living on a boat?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It’s wonderful. It’s kind of like triage. You only have those things that are very special and poignant to you. Things that are part of, you know, cherished heirlooms perhaps. I actually have my grandmother’s 100 year old silver Tiffany silverware. And I have another aunt who was awarded a woman of the year award by Eleanor Roosevelt. I have a collage of dried flowers that she had and some antique decanters that belonged to an uncle. Things that are a very personal, you can’t have too much.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I have always had more things than I need. e I have a storage unit with literally thousands of books in it…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: …and of course you can’t do that on the boat so you just take those things that are really important that don’t clutter up your life space. Every place I look there’s something beautiful and something important to me.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So how often do you go sailing? How often do you take the boat out?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, you know because we live aboard there’s a lot of stuff that has to be put away, but at least every other week we get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Where do you go when you when you sail?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well usually it’s just up to Malibu or down the coast towards Long Beach. Then of course we take weekends, and I try to go in the winter when nobody’s there to Catalina.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah I like the serenity of it. I’m very big on peace and quiet which is one of the other reasons for Vermont. I’m standing talking to you in Tarzana and I think that this kind of heat and traffic and cacophony will shorten one’s life or at least mine and I want to get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you travel a lot for the Dos Equis shoots?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, not necessarily for the Dos Equis shoots, but for things that are related. I mean I’m not limited to just working with Dos Equis. I can’t do anything else involving liquor or beer, but I do other things. I’m on the speaker circuit and you know I travel some doing that and making appearances and things as myself. I can’t appear as The Most Interesting Man because number one they own it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right, right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s understandable…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s the most interesting place that that you’ve traveled to?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Most interesting… I guess it would be in the Caribbean. I had a boat one time that I kept in the Caribbean. I wintered it in Venezuela and then sailed all the way through the Grenadines and through Martinique, Antigua, Guadalupe, and all the little tiny cays in between, and ended up in Turks and Cacos and British Virgin Islands and then back to Miami. That was easily the most interesting trip and I would say that Martinique is especially beautiful.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did that a trip like that take?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: About two and half months.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow that’s nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, it was great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s  a place that you’ve never been to but have always wanted to visit?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I would say probably the Greek Islands and Turkey in the Mediterranean.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Especially for sailing right?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely. There’s something about the tranquility and the freedom that one has on a boat. You know, if you want to move, you just move. Take your home with you. It’s really a lovely experience. And someday I’d like to do that. I’d like to cruise even though we have the place in Vermont that’s, you know, a home base, but certainly in the winter time I would like to take the boat cruise. Now initially, while I’m busy -- and I’m very busy right now -- I would keep the boat on the West Coast, because I do other things. There is some print work, a lot of interviews, etcetera, as well as auditioning for some things. I’m waiting to hear about a movie right now, so I’d probably want to go down to Costa Rica. Where I’ve been, it’s beautiful. It’s gorgeous. You been there?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, I have friends who talk about the rain forest experiences there. And it’s not too far…\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, their literacy rate is the highest in the world.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: They’ve never had an army – well, I don’t know if they’ve ever had an army – but they don’t have one and haven’t for years. Never had a war. They have a higher infant mortality or lack of infant mortality rate than we do I believe. They have a better school system, their medical care is superb and their life expectancy is considerably more than ours. It’s just a very happy, happy place very hospitable people. That would be one cruise that I’d like to take. Take the boat through the canal and into the Caribbean, keep the farm and be able to grow my vegetables and flowers in the spring. So that’s my long range plan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’ve been acting since the seventies, and I know that you’ve done a lot of television work. What is the most interesting shoot or character that you’ve played or television experience that you really remember.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, geez there were so many. I guess I would associate that question or my answer with the people that I worked with. I had the pleasure of working with Henry Fonda. He played a police inspector – it was not a big show or anything – but that was joyous. He was really just a gentleman, a delightful man and very, very gracious as an actor. But I would definitely say that the best experience I ever had as an actor was starring opposite Burt Lancaster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, wow is right. It was a quite an experience. A Vietnam piece, uh 1977, and it’s kind of a cult picture. It’s called <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077617/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Go Tell the Spartans</em></a>, and it’s about the corruption, the South Vietnamese, Vietnam and our involvement with them. And that was that was spectacular. I had one the central roles, a very challenging one and got wonderful reviews. The whole experience was terrific. You can still get that at Blockbuster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s definitely something I’ll check out.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, <em>Go Tell the Spartans</em>. It’s terrific little picture, and it was made for less money than a television show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Less than a million bucks, yup. And all of it was dubbed. We shot it right out by Magic Mountain, so in some of the highly dramatic scenes you can hear the other people yelling on the roller coasters.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s funny.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, but then we all went individually into an empty soundstage. And I had an extremely dramatic scene where I kill myself and I had to do it all by myself on a soundstage.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It had its challenges…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How do you how do you manufacture that kind of emotion with no one to bounce things off of?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, that’s what comes with the territory. Good actors are able to call upon those scenes inside of themselves -- things that have existed, their dark side, or their demons, their joyous sides. That’s just what actors, good actors do – call upon life’s experience.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Now, I also read that you have you have a pretty strong background in improvising and you work with kids and in prisons teaching improvisation techniques.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, one of the things that I’ve done since I’ve been 18, really and that’s quite a long time, is work with abused and handicapped kids. About 30 years ago, I started with an organization that I’m still very involved with called <a href=\"http://www.freearts.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Arts for Abused Children</a>. What we do is we bring in arts programs to kids who are either incarcerated or under lock and key protection, sometimes from their own parents, and we provide a non-threatening environment for them to express themselves through acting, or painting, dance, improvisation certainly, and then their therapists sometimes will get good insight that they say can save years of conventional therapy and certainly accelerate the process.\r\n\r\nI’m also involved with an organization called <a href=\"http://stellalinkent.com/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stella Link Productions</a>. They were doing a picture on the child pornography sex trafficking in Cambodia and Thailand. And something I’m very involved with is one more charity called the <a href=\"http://www.sabre.org/\" target=\"_blank\">S.A.B.R.E. Foundation</a>. We’re trying to do what we can to call attention to one of the most endangered species, the Siberian tiger.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Just a couple more Dos Equis related questions.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Sure, yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: It seems like it would be a lot of fun making these commercial spots. Is that the case?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yes, yes it is. It is a lot of fun, but is also an exorbitant, enormous amount of work. We go over it so many different times and when you shoot a commercial, there are not only the ad agency people there, but there’s also the sponsor. So we’re working with a whole committee of people that see things not always the same, so it’s, you know, it had to be done over and over and over this angle, that angle, this directions, etcetera, etcetera. It’s hard work. And also these are very rigorous, physical things. I’m not 25 years old.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Don’t laugh. Don’t chuckle so loud.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, no, no. I’m just thinking back to the commercials like I you know like you’re hanging from rocks and, you know, like wading through water this kind of stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, yeah well. I go to the gym every day. Every day but one. Every single day. And in all truth, you know that they use a stunt double for some of the stuff as well, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter) Yea, of course. Do you get to improvise at all when you are on the set or is it all pretty rigid?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, they usually have it pretty rigid, but in the very beginning I improvised a great deal, and I think it had a lot to do with the creation of the eventual character that came out. I knew that before I got the role, that one would have to be good at improvisation. There were three different times I got called back, each time it was improvisational and they searched all over the country. So about three months was involved. I would like to think that I made some contributions to their terrific ideas.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right. So what do you enjoy most about playing the character? ‘Cause it’s gotta be fun playing being the alpha male masculine guy, you know, all that stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’ll tell you, what I enjoy the most is that it brings a chuckle to people’s face. It also has a little bit of a message, so I guess one might say it has something to do with leaving a legacy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s a good point. Everyone wants to feel like they’ve left some sort of mark on the world. Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah. Why not? Like to feel that you’ve maybe made an impression with people, maybe, you know, show a guy how to alpha it up a just little bit, how to feel more comfortable, cooler.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So, what would you say to a person who wants to live a more interesting life?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Become an interested person.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: There you go. That’s a good idea.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Or if not, the people that are not interested become uninteresting. I firmly believe that. Particularly people that don’t read. If you don’t read you have no desire to learn and you’re a bore.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you need that curiosity to generate curiosity about yourself. Yeah, that makes sense.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I think so. If you don’t have curiosity, your friends probably won\'t either. Do you want to be like that or be challenged? Provocative people challenge you to grow. Who do you want to be like? You know, do you want to be like the guy that’s not accomplished anything? Do you sit back in the parade of life and watch as it goes by like a spectator who lives vicariously? Or do you want to actually be a participant in the parade of life. My motto is to celebrate the possibilities. Most people just take up space, accomplish little and leave nothing behind. I don’t want to be like that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, man. This is this is inspirational stuff, I gotta say Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh it’s true. I firmly believe it. I believe it with all my heart and soul. And it’s got nothing to do with money. Some the coolest, hippest, most marvelous people that I’ve ever read about or have known have little in the way of material things. It has little to do with money. It has to do with attitude. Don’t be don’t be a bore. Be interested, and you’ll be interesting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I like it. So you mentioned how you’re an avid reader. Who are some of your favorite authors or what are some of your favorite books?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I’ll just name a few that I just finished reading. One was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Darkside</span>, about the Rendition program. The other one was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Family</span>, about these phony C Street bastards. Uh, forgive me. I, I tend to be rather passionate about politics.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Game Change</span> about the presidential election, as seen through the various separatists camps. And, let me see, I just finished one the other night. Oh one about Jerry Weintraub, the marvelous impresario, it’s called <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">When I Stop Talking, You\'ll Know I\'m Dead</span>. It was a charming book. I read a lot of political stuff. James Michener is an author that I love. I actually did one of his stories I went to the moon in <em>Space</em> years ago. Edgar Allen Poe is certainly one of my favorites. Nathaniel Hawthorne, I like the classics. And I love some of the ancients, you know, the Greeks, Plato, Aristotle. Old and new, and mostly anything by Christopher Hitchens.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice mix.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Anything that’s provocative, that makes you think.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what are you political leanings?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’m… well, this is where I can get into trouble.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Uh-oh! I don’t want to get you into trouble Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, let’s just say I believe in civility, responsibility, caring, and a government of the people, by the people, for the people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I don’t think we’re going to piss off anybody with that. But I like it. It’s  a measured, honest and straight-forward response too.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Okay my friend, well, that\'s how I feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: One last question. What was it like doing a show on the “A-Team”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Uh, I didn’t enjoy it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, not much. There were a lot of very egotistical… there were a few egotistical and boring people on the show. There were also some very charming people, but the egotists made it not the most pleasant experience.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I gotcha. Well, I think I’ve probably taken enough of your time and I just want to say thanks.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: My pleasure, Chris.','A Conversation With the Most Interesting Man in the World','','inherit','open','open','','1009-revision-14','','','2010-07-26 08:00:29','2010-07-26 15:00:29','',1009,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1009-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(1230,2,'2010-08-02 10:16:14','2010-08-02 17:16:14','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_61s62WKVio&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_61s62WKVio&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Swedish Policeman Dancing','','publish','open','open','','swedish-policeman-dancing','','','2010-08-02 10:16:14','2010-08-02 17:16:14','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=1230',0,'post','',0),(1231,2,'2010-08-02 10:15:52','2010-08-02 17:15:52','<object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_61s62WKVio&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_61s62WKVio&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"></embed></object>','Swedish Policeman Dancing','','inherit','open','open','','1230-revision','','','2010-08-02 10:15:52','2010-08-02 17:15:52','',1230,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1230-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(1232,2,'2010-08-02 14:11:28','2010-08-02 21:11:28','The Jets have a lot of big dudes on their team. They also have a pretty big guy serving as head coach. Rex Ryan, that loveable loudmouth who brought in an element of swagger that the Jets sorely needed last season, underwent gastric-band surgery back in March. The slimming procedure was just the first step toward a larger weight loss program for Ryan.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1233\" title=\"Kris Jenkins Cookie Weight Loss\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Kris-Jenkins-Cookie-Weight-Loss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"216\" />Back in May, Ryan challenged two other members of the team – defensive tackle Kris Jenkins and offensive tackle Damien Woody – to a weight loss competition. They called it “<a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/05/10/rex-ryan-challenges-players-to-weight-loss-competition/\" target=\"_blank\">The Biggest Winner</a>.”\r\n\r\n\"I would say something like \'Get your popcorn ready,\' but we don\'t need to be eating popcorn for this,\" Woody told the Jets team website back in May. \"I don\'t have any trash-talking right now. This is an idea that Coach Ryan thought about and it\'s a great idea.

A five-time AVN Award winner, Stormy\'s been steaming up the industry for over a decade. Not just a super-starlet, Stormy has written and directed a few adult films as well. She\'s enjoyed quite a bit of crossover success, and in 2010, she even considered running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Articulate and approachable, this beauty from Baton Rouge, Louisiana can do it all.\r\n\r\nStormy\'s latest project is the new film <a href=\"http://www.findingblissthemovie.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Finding Bliss</em></a>, a romantic comedy that examines the adult film industry through the eyes of an eager film school grad (played by Leelee Sobieski), who gets to Hollywood with high hopes and ends up editing porn to get by.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-9 alignright\" title=\"stormy daniels-1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/stormy-daniels-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" />\r\n\r\nCS: So you’ve done a lot of crossover work. You were in the <em>40-Year-Old Virgin</em>, <em>Knocked Up</em>, <em>Party Down</em>, the FX series <em>Dirt</em> and now this upcoming film <em>Finding Bliss</em>. Do you see yourself doing more mainstream Hollywood work in the future?\r\n\r\nSD: I would love to, but it is not something that I plan to seek out. Those opportunities were amazing and I am so thankful for them since I learned a lot and met great people, but I am not under the misconception that it is possible for an adult actress to completely crossover.\r\n\r\nCS: Do you have any plans to retire from the adult film industry or focus more on writing and directing?\r\n\r\nSD: Of course! Gravity is gonna take effect any day now and I don\'t want my naked ass on HD when it happens.\r\n\r\nCS: How did you first come in contact with Julie Davis, the writer and director of <em>Finding Bliss</em>?\r\n\r\nSD: I actually had never met Julie before my first day on <em>Finding Bliss</em>. She or one of her producers contacted Wicked Pictures and requested me.\r\n\r\nCS: How did the set atmosphere of <em>Finding Bliss</em> compare to the set of a film like <em>Space Nuts</em>?\r\n\r\nSD: They were pretty much the same. Wicked Pictures produces the highest quality adult movies and we use all the same resources and crew that a mainstream set implements.... we just do it with a little less clothing.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nCS: What first attracted you to the adult film industry?\r\n\r\nSD: I started as a fan so when I had the opportunity to visit a set, I jumped at the opportunity. I ended up being an extra in the film that day and the director introduced me to the owner of the company.  When they offered me a contract, I didn\'t hesitate for a moment.\r\n\r\nCS: What’s the hottest scene you’ve ever shot?\r\n\r\nSD: I would say my scene with Manuel Ferrara in \"Forbidden\" and my scene with Brendon Miller in \"Sex Therapy\".\r\n\r\nCS: What young starlet do you see as an up-and-coming force in the adult film industry?\r\n\r\nSD: Tori Black is taking the industry by storm right now. I recently directed her for my movie \"Whatever it Takes\" and the camera loves her! But she isn\'t just beautiful, she is professional and smart. That is what gives someone real staying power. Pretty girls come and go.\r\n\r\nCS: You announced in April that you would not be running for the United States Senate. Would you consider running again in the future? How was that whole experience?\r\n\r\nSD: It was eye-opening and a bit depressing, honestly. The system is just a mess, and people are so disheartened. The average person feels like they don\'t have a voice. It was my goal to give them one... and then I discovered how expensive it is to campaign. An elected official is supposed to represent the majority, but no average person could ever afford to run. I believe this keeps the best people for the job from even attempting it. I have no clue if I\'d ever try it again... but never say never.\r\n\r\nCS: What’s up with you running as a Republican?\r\n\r\nSD: I tend to swing both ways.... but most of my views leaned toward Republican.\r\n\r\nCS: What are you working on now?\r\n\r\nSD: I have been doing quite a bit of directing over the last couple of months so I\'m doing lots of editing right now. I am also focusing a lot of energy on my new site: StormyDaniels.com\r\n\r\nMake sure you check Stormy in the new film <em>Finding Bliss</em>, which opened in New York this weekend and in LA on June 11.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10\" title=\"Stormy Daniels - Finding Bliss\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Stormy-Daniels-Finding-Bliss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />','Interview with Stormy Daniels ','Stormy Daniels talks about the film Finding Bliss, her adult film career and what it\'s like to run for a high-profile political office in America.

The full Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 campaign will roll out on billboards in July. Meanwhile, here\'s a pic from the shoot to tide you over. Still can\'t believe she\'s marrying that 90210 guy.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-567\" title=\"MEGAN-FOX-ARMANI-UNDERWEAR\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/MEGAN-FOX-ARMANI-UNDERWEAR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"720\" />','Megan Fox in Emporio Armani Underwear Ad','','inherit','open','open','','566-revision-4','','','2010-06-17 19:00:17','2010-06-18 02:00:17','',566,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/566-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(1272,2,'2010-08-03 13:04:16','2010-08-03 20:04:16','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1273\" title=\"favre retirement\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/favre-retirement.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nOh my god, Favre retired again. And this time, it’s for reals, yo. Well, maybe it’s for reals. No one can really be sure. He says his ankle is all messed up. I can believe that. Look at how nasty his shit was after the NFC Championship game:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1275\" title=\"favre-ankle-injury\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/favre-ankle-injury.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nGross, dude. The guy got offseason surgery to try to fix that mess, and according to Favre, his ankle isn’t responding as well as he’d hoped. So now he’s going to hang ‘em up and let the Tavaris Jackson era begin anew in Minnesota.\r\n\r\nHow can we believe this guy? He could say anything – my wife left me, I hate Wrangler jeans, I’m definitely playing, I’m definitely not playing – it doesn’t matter. We don’t believe him. We don’t believe a single word that comes out of his scruffy, graybeard pie-hole.\r\n\r\nAnd why should we? He’s lost all credibility. Back in 2006, this guy was getting standing ovations in Solider Field as a sign of retirement respect from Bears fans. He ended up coming back for the 2007 season. In March 2008, Favre announced his first annual retirement and cried like a little girl for the people of Green Bay. Remember all those tears?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/favre.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1277\" title=\"favre\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/favre.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"532\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBy July, Favre was itchin’ to come back to the team, but the Packers had moved on. Green Bay was committed to new starter Aaron Rodgers, but the team wanted to keep Favre from going to Minnesota. The Packers ended up filing tampering charges against the Vikings and Favre wound up being traded the Jets. After a promising season ended with string of losses and a bum shoulder, Favre’s time with the Jets was over. He retired for the second time in Februrary 2009.\r\n\r\nIn June 2009, Favre threatened to unretire again. By July of 2009, he told the Vikings he was staying retired. He signed with the team the next month. Favre went on to have the best season of his career. Now it\'s August and he says he’s retiring again.\r\n\r\nThere’s an old saying in Tennessee…\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eKgPY1adc0A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eKgPY1adc0A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nSo we’ll believe this retirement mumbo jumbo when Favre is put down for good. If the guy still has legs and at least one arm, he’s a threat to show up and play.

wherein taste and subjectivity will vary wildly like a rabid dog, with one camp saying, are you kidding me? You included that? Or, WTF? You didn\'t include Pink Floyd\'s The Wall? Are you a freakin\' zombie? But the truth is, these are among the best in my opinion, and I don\'t think I\'ll be alone here in listing these five, and I\'ll offer as a caveat that it was probably stupid in the first place to try to narrow it down to five, so the hell with it. Here\'s five. Don\'t like \'em? Make your own damn list next time.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Martin Scorsese\'s The Last Waltz</strong>\r\nWhether or not you like the music is almost totally a non issue. So what if you\'ve never painted a house and you have no idea how to appreciate \"classic rock\" which is pretty much besides the point. You know Bob Dillon. He trumps all musical styles. He\'s a friggin\' icon for chrissakes. Anyway. When he finally put together a back up band after going electric, his band was called The Band. You should take that to mean exactly what it sounds like. So good, they should be referred to as The Band, as in, The Only Band. Anyway.

My guess is that a lot of you will know of them, maybe know only a bit about their music, but maybe never have seen this masterwork of cinematography. In this film, first-time filmmaker and award-winning photographer <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327920/\">Sam Jones documents the recording of Wilco</a> as they write, record and produce their album, \"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.\" In the process, singer Jeff Tweedy deals with vomiting and migraines, guitarist Jay Bennett pulls a diva move (open to interpretation) and quits the band, and the record company essentially backs out of the deal while handing the completed album, rights and all, back over to the band. A real story of musical beauty and creation, with, again, unreal film-making talent behind it. And literally some of the most gorgeous opening film credits ever put on to a screen. 2002. 92 minutes.\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/cJbLvQkCwRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/cJbLvQkCwRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Dig! Featuring the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre</strong>\r\nFootage shot over 7 years, comparing what essentially amounts to the two roads that any contemporary musician has to choose from when taking the rock walk into wherever it lands them. Mostly narrated by Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols, the <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388888/\">documentary called simply Dig!</a> chronicles these two bands, and their messianic lead singers, as they descend into drugs and madness on the one hand, and pop star celebrity on the other. Anton Newcombe, lead singer of the BJM, is among the most interesting and somewhat tragic figures in recent music history, if you buy into that kind of thing. Darling of record A&amp;R people but never quite tipping over beyond cult and insider status, the Brian Jonestown Massacre developed a reputation for mayhem that was beyond well-deserved. On the other hand, the Dandy Warhols seemed to figure something more practical and constructive out about being in a band and living a life -- it\'s up to you, the viewer, in the end, to decide which road leads to the more interesting music. 2004. 107 minutes. Directed by: Ondi Timoner.\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/84oiQJ1N9To&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/84oiQJ1N9To&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n5) <strong>The Clash: Westway to the World</strong>\r\nJoe Strummer should be your idol if you are making music, I don\'t care what kind. Deep without being pretentious, punk without trying, an icon in his own right with so much humility and clarity and self awareness. The story of The Clash is like a lot of stories of bands coming together and falling apart, only most of those other bands were never as good as The Clash, either as individual musicians or as a collective. For those of you who came to punk music through American versions, or merely starting and stopping with the Pistols, educate yourself and see exactly what was going on back in the late \'70s in the UK. <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0321711/\">Westway to the World</a> is way too interesting to miss, and chock full of DVD extras when you buy or rent.

Deep without being pretentious, punk without trying, an icon in his own right with so much humility and clarity and self awareness. The story of The Clash is like a lot of stories of bands coming together and falling apart, only most of those other bands were never as good as The Clash, either as individual musicians or as a collective. For those of you who came to punk music through American versions, or merely starting and stopping with the Pistols, educate yourself and see exactly what was going on back in the late \'70s in the UK. <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0321711/\">Westway to the World</a> is way too interesting to miss, and chock full of DVD extras when you buy or rent.

Here\'s five. Don\'t like \'em? Make your own damn list next time.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Martin Scorsese\'s The Last Waltz</strong>\r\nWhether or not you like the music is almost totally a non issue. So what if you\'ve never painted a house and you have no idea how to appreciate \"classic rock\" which is pretty much besides the point. You know Bob Dillon. He trumps all musical styles. He\'s a friggin\' icon for chrissakes. Anyway. When he finally put together a back up band after going electric, his band was called The Band. You should take that to mean exactly what it sounds like. So good, they should be referred to as The Band, as in, The Only Band. Anyway. They put together a final show after touring for nearly all their lives, and invited many of their friends and coincidentally also musical luminaries of the sixties and seventies to come up on stage and join them for a tune or two. <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077838/\">The Last Waltz</a> was filmed amazingly by Martin Scorsese. 1978. 117 minutes.\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/5rKlkR0B5aw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/5rKlkR0B5aw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n2) <strong>Straight, No Chaser: Thelonius Monk</strong>\r\nJazz enthusiast or not, those cats from decades past were from another planet, and film absolutely loves them. Too bad you weren\'t around to visit a Harlem night club in the fifties or sixties, or even better, to have visited Paris to see some expatriates play to a crowd that was actually smart enough to try to understand what they were doing and maybe even appreciate it. Produced by Clint Eastwood of all people, this fine documentary is also (bit of trivia here), the <a href=\"http://www.mattybyloos.com/music/monk-straight-no-chaser-1988-ill-flip-ya/\">origin of Fenster\'s line, I\'ll Flip Ya, I\'ll Flip Ya Fo Real</a>, from the movie which you probably are a fan of, The Usual Suspects. Shot in black and white, and totally compelling, based on the life and concerts of the jazz great, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098465/\">Thelonius Monk</a>. 1988, released in 1990. 90 minutes.\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OyfEddS41nM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OyfEddS41nM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n3) <strong>I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Wilco</strong>\r\nSome of you may not be fans, and some of you might not even have ever heard of Wilco. My guess is that a lot of you will know of them, maybe know only a bit about their music, but maybe never have seen this masterwork of cinematography. In this film, first-time filmmaker and award-winning photographer <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327920/\">Sam Jones documents the recording of Wilco</a> as they write, record and produce their album, \"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.\" In the process, singer Jeff Tweedy deals with vomiting and migraines, guitarist Jay Bennett pulls a diva move (open to interpretation) and quits the band, and the record company essentially backs out of the deal while handing the completed album, rights and all, back over to the band. A real story of musical beauty and creation, with, again, unreal film-making talent behind it. And literally some of the most gorgeous opening film credits ever put on to a screen. 2002. 92 minutes.\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/cJbLvQkCwRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/cJbLvQkCwRc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Dig! Featuring the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre</strong>\r\nFootage shot over 7 years, comparing what essentially amounts to the two roads that any contemporary musician has to choose from when taking the rock walk into wherever it lands them. Mostly narrated by Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols, the <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388888/\">documentary called simply Dig!</a> chronicles these two bands, and their messianic lead singers, as they descend into drugs and madness on the one hand, and pop star celebrity on the other. Anton Newcombe, lead singer of the BJM, is among the most interesting and somewhat tragic figures in recent music history, if you buy into that kind of thing. Darling of record A&amp;R people but never quite tipping over beyond cult and insider status, the Brian Jonestown Massacre developed a reputation for mayhem that was beyond well-deserved. On the other hand, the Dandy Warhols seemed to figure something more practical and constructive out about being in a band and living a life -- it\'s up to you, the viewer, in the end, to decide which road leads to the more interesting music. 2004. 107 minutes.

So what if you\'ve never painted a house and you have no idea how to appreciate \"classic rock\" which is pretty much besides the point. You know Bob Dillon. He trumps all musical styles. He\'s a friggin\' icon for chrissakes. Anyway. When he finally put together a back up band after going electric, his band was called The Band. You should take that to mean exactly what it sounds like. So good, they should be referred to as The Band, as in, The Only Band. Anyway. They put together a final show after touring for nearly all their lives, and invited many of their friends and coincidentally also musical luminaries of the sixties and seventies to come up on stage and join them for a tune or two. <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077838/\">The Last Waltz</a> was filmed amazingly by Martin Scorsese. 1978. 117 minutes.\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/5rKlkR0B5aw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/5rKlkR0B5aw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n2) <strong>Straight, No Chaser: Thelonius Monk</strong>\nJazz enthusiast or not, those cats from decades past were from another planet, and film absolutely loves them. Too bad you weren\'t around to visit a Harlem night club in the fifties or sixties, or even better, to have visited Paris to see some expatriates play to a crowd that was actually smart enough to try to understand what they were doing and maybe even appreciate it. Produced by Clint Eastwood of all people, this fine documentary is also (bit of trivia here), the <a href=\"http://www.mattybyloos.com/music/monk-straight-no-chaser-1988-ill-flip-ya/\">origin of Fenster\'s line, I\'ll Flip Ya, I\'ll Flip Ya Fo Real</a>, from the movie which you probably are a fan of, The Usual Suspects. Shot in black and white, and totally compelling, based on the life and concerts of the jazz great, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098465/\">Thelonius Monk</a>. 1988, released in 1990. 90 minutes.\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OyfEddS41nM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OyfEddS41nM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n3) <strong>I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Wilco</strong>\nSome of you may not be fans, and some of you might not even have ever heard of Wilco. My guess is that a lot of you will know of them, maybe know only a bit about their music, but maybe never have seen this masterwork of cinematography.

He was featured on <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099229/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Next Generation</em></a>, <em><a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_West_Comedy_Show:_30_Days_%26_30_Nights_%E2%80%93_Hollywood_to_the_Heartland\" target=\"_blank\">Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Tour</a> </em>and he’s a regular guest on the E! show <a href=\"http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/chelsea/index.jsp\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Chelsea Lately</em></a>.\r\n\r\nCaparulo is currently working with Edge Shave Gel to promote the <a href=\"http://www.edgeshavezone.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Edge Anti-Irritation Zone</a>, a site that offers comic relief for life’s annoying irritations. Edge Shave Gel recently conducted a survey of the 50 most irritated cities in America. The survey included 11 different irritation factors to measure irritating things like traffic congestion and heat index for different cities.\r\n\r\nThe Edge Shave Zone is also running a comedy contest in conjunction with Funny or Die. Contest participants are asked to submit videos (90 seconds or less) that showcase a comedic look on different things that are irritating. The submissions can be in the form of a stand-up routine, sketch, animated short or just a crazy story. Whoever generates the most laughs will get a trip to Vegas (for you and three of your buddies). Here are the <a href=\"http://www.edgeshavezone.com/contest_rules.html\" target=\"_blank\">official rules of the contest</a>.\r\n\r\nMANjr had a chance to send in some questions to John about his involvement with the survey, the contest as well as some questions on his comedy career.  Here’s the video:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13942683&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13942683&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://vimeo.com/13942683\">John Caparulo Interview -

But the single greatest thing to come out of Hall of Fame weekend was watching Maria Menounos dominate the make-believe football field.

Jerry Rice’s speech was entertaining because of how uninspired and ultra-prepared it was. During Dick LeBeau’s speech, you felt like you were getting a glimpse of LeBeau the coach.

I DVR’d the celeb/former-player infomercial/flag-football game and caught glimpses of it during TV breaks when the real game was on.
