“Maybe I’m spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.” -Max Fischer

Get ready for the Cartoon Cavalcade! Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will debut his multimillion-dollar cartoon web-series September 10th.  It’s a unique deal not only because online exclusivity allows for less censorship but the 50, two-minute shorts will be distributed through Google AdSense websites.

Vicky Christina Barcelona is Woody Allen’s best film since Annie Hall.  Ok, that’s a stretch but I was surprisingly very impressed.

HBO has never fully recovered since closing the book on The Sopranos. It was unarguably one of televisions greatest shows, period. This November, Home Box Office will release the complete series in one big-ass, ten-pound box set. Better call a sit down because Paulie Walnuts, Carmela, Junior Soprano, AJ and Big Pussy offer up plenty of bonus material to justify the $399.99 this ultimate gifter is gonna set you back.

Bill Maher is ready to answer your prayers. His new movie, Religulous hits theaters and controversy October 3rd. “The Dalai Lama visited the White House and told the President that he could teach him to find a higher state of consciousness. Then after talking to Bush for a few minutes, he said, You know what? Let’s just grab lunch.”  Bill Maher is one funny dude.

Doug Benson is not only High Times Stoner of the Year but star of “Super High Me“, the not smoking for 30 days then smoking all day, every day for 30 days - pot experiment.  The film, directed by Michael Blieden (Comedians of Comedy, Kanye West) is a must see whether you light up or not. Originally titled “Business As Usual” the soon-to-be cult classic is now available on DVD and look for Holiday Matinee’s soon to be announced San Diego screening and art show.

Pitchfork, the indie tastemaker also known to rip your band’s demo to shreds, has announced an exclusive web-to-tv deal with the Independent Film Channel.  The program will consist of interviews, live performances and several shorts packaged under the name “Pitchfork Airwaves on IFC”.  Here’s hoping their “Daytripping” series makes it to the big-screen in your living room.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is Michael Cera’s Juno follow-up and there’s no doubt you and the rest of America will eat it up. In fact, I think it’s safe to say we can now label friends who do “The Michael Cera”.  Ya know, sensitive, indie type with sharp wit but not so good with the ladies yet still gets the ladies skills. Silence your iPhones come October 3rd.

W, the new film by Oliver Stone debuts this October.
Fun fact:  When W took office gas was only $1.47  
Yup, we can’t wait for this one.

In 2nd grade, my birthday present was Wrestlemania II at Madison Square Garden. This was the rematch between Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. I lost my voice screaming for JYD, Hillbilly Jim, The Glow Girls, George “The Animal” Steel and the always-entertaining, bad-guy for life, Russian flag waiving Nikolai Volkov.  Yup, fake wrestling was where it’s at and I was definitely a Hulkamaniac.  Fast-forward thirty years and a new documentary, from the producers of Fahrenheit 9/11 puts the smackdown on this steroid subculture.  ”Bigger Stronger Faster” exposes America’s pastimes for what they really are and believe me, you’ll never look at body-slams the same.
