Of course, please let me/us know your guilty pleasure(s) too.
I can't explain most of these. Or I guess I can, but I won't bore you. Just know that there are things about everybody that we'll never know, no matter how close we are to them. This is the tip of the iceberg for me.
Jimmy Eat World "The Middle"
When in Rome "The Promise"
A Flock of Seagulls "I Ran"
Stepbrothers
Freddy Got Fingered
"Tosh.0"
"Impractical Jokers"

Harry Styles' interview technique

p.s. Hey. Misanthrope, a d.l. who needs no introduction if there ever was one, wants to share his guilty pleasures with you. And he has. There they are, just north of these very words. What do you think? What are yours? This day seems like it could be a lot of fun, if you guys are game. What do you think? Spill your guilt to Misanthrope and to each other, please. Thanks. Thanks, George. Okay, so, early tomorrow morning I'm heading away for about 10 days to get refreshed and whatever else ends up happening. You'll get reruns -- apart from your usual new slaves post -- and brief hi's from me until April 7th when I'll be back in your face again and catching up with the accumulated comments while I'm at it. Have fun. Hang out, comment, whatever feels right. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi, D. Yeah, sucky combo, and the cold makes my head feel like a led-filled skull. But, hey, what can you do? ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. Right back at you re: the simply amazing life. Thank you for saying that. Yeah, it's a great time for me, I must admit. For you too, no? Thank you. ** Bill, Thanks, Bill. Germany in June? I don't know, but it certainly seems possible since the theater piece will be needing to be readied around then, I think. I'll let you know. It would be ace if our German timing lines up. ** Scunnard, Hi, J! Oh, really, only a couple of weeks until your mss. might be finished? Man, that's exciting! I have bad luck with things getting lost or stolen. Lost my passport, but that was a year ago maybe? Lost my wallet about six months ago. Had my ATM card get compromised and had to replace it two weeks ago. And now I'm forcibly sans wallet and card yet again. Weirdness. Thank you or the awayness wishes. Should be nice, yeah. Sucks that it's starting with me saddled by a nasty cold, but whatev', I guess. Take care! ** Keaton, Oh, that looks good and funny and awesome, I must say. Everyone, maestro Keaton has filled the topmost portion of his blog with this sharp as a tack and funny as a (fill-in-the-blank) meme thing that will intersect your day with joy, if you let it. It's called Butane Vein. I do? How so? I wore some make-up in the Glam Rock era during my brief, pathetic attempt to look like a Glam boy. Not a good idea, that idea. The Kurt Cobain sounds kind of pretty much like Kurt himself but with a very slight German accent since all but one of the performers are German. He ("Kurt") sings 'Rape Me' in the show. One time when I was talking with Burroughs (and Jeffrey Lee Pierce) in Amsterdam by the front door of the Melkweg club some drunk guy inside the club threw a chair through the glass door, covering Burroughs with glass shard-snow. He was fine, though. ** Steevee, Hi. Yeah, I'm traveling. If I was staying in Paris, I'd do the blog since I don't need a vacation from the blog, but traveling makes the blog way too difficult to do. I'll go find that trailer, thanks! Yeah, the Ferrara US release thing has turned into a total fiasco, Jesus. ** Damien Ark, Hi, Damien! Cool, excellent, great about the interview for the blog being nearly done! I'm excited! Portland's nice in the summer. And a presumably very early happy birthday to you! Have a blast doing everything. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T. It's fun to be excited. We're already jonesing to make our second film. Thanks for being interested in the theater piece prelims, man. ** The Dreadful Flying Glove, Hey! Yeah, sucks, but it looks like it'll finally be sorted out on Thursday. I just have be a mooch until then. Thanks for liking the scrapbook stuff. I think it's going to be pretty good. It's completely unlike anything Gisele and I have ever made before. Exciting and a little scary. I'll hold good thoughts for the gig of your other half that night too. What's the gig, if you can say? No pressure, no expectations, but if you want to make a couple of posts, I would be very, very happy. Thank you in any case! ** Flit, Holy shit! About your computer dragging your work into its grave. Happened to me once too. Shit, yeah, you sound like you have all the attitude in that regards that you need. Windows, wow, scary, ha ha. Or no "ha ha". Scary. Anyway, pretty sweet to get to talk to you. I'll rest up as best I can, thanks. You take care until the next time I get the gift of you. Wow, ha ha. ** Kier, Hi, hi, hi! I think 'The Ventriloquist Convention' is going to tour a lot, so hopefully you'll see it. It's our most 'booked in advance' piece ever. I'm sorry your day wasn't so great. Mine was so-so-ish. My cold got worse, and so did Zac's. Mine is in my head, his is in his throat. But we burned the BluRays, and I dropped one submission off at one location, and he did the other one. The offices are in wildly different parties of Paris. Then we had some back and forth with our producers, which was, as usual, annoying but somehow productive. We conferred with Kiddiepunk about the film stuff, and he told me that 'Zac's Haunted House' has been downloaded over 15,000 times so far, which is pretty amazing. I did my laundry and started getting ready for the vacation. Yeah, I'm going away for a bit. Zac too. Partly to relax, partly to do film stuff that we don't have to be in Paris for, partly for adventure, partly to start developing the script for our next film. Should be nice. But, uh, yesterday ... as darkness fell, my cold got worse, and it got worse overnight, and now my nose is a runny faucet, etc. Tomorrow's vacation involves a plane flight, and going onto a plane sick is always a horrible idea, but it'll happen. So, yeah, I guess I won't get to give you my day report for a while, but I'll be looking in on the comments when I can, so if you feel like keeping me up on your days, know I will be an attentive, wide-eyed reader. Take care, my dear pal! ** Sickly, Hi! I'm sickly too. Well, actually full-on sick. 'The Ventriloquist Convention' will be performed at LACMA. I'm not sure what the dates are off the top of my head, but I'll ask Gisele. Theater's not dead over here in Europe at least. Pretty healthy right now, in fact. Thanks for thinking that all of that was interesting. The Brancusi pillow puppet is very depressed because it wants to be a pillow and it doesn't understand why it's a sculpture. ** Etc etc etc, Hi, Casey. Thanks a lot for sending your Gluth review! I'll read it as soon as I get a sec and can find an oasis in my head cold. We met our deadlines, yes, thanks. California = dreamy. Most of it. 'Please Kill Me' is a great book! Fantastic! I love the oral biography form in general, and that's a particularly great example. xx ** Paul Curran, Hi, Paul! It's great to see you! I've been wondering how you are and what you're up to. Thanks about the theater piece hints. Inner narratives are a bitch. A sublime bitch. Sometimes sublime. Sublime in theory. Yeah, I get that toughness. Whoa, new clip! Sweet! I'll ... yeah, I'll imbed it down below. Great! Everyone, down at the bottom of this p.s. is a new video clip related to Paul Curran's completely great and amazing novel 'Left Hand' (Civil Coping Mechanisms, 2014), and watch it, dudes. Watch it. I repeat, watch it. Seriously. So good! Have a great time in London! Give my best to Mark! ** Misanthrope, Thank you for today's Day, buddy. Oh, one thing, ... how is sushi a guilty pleasure? I didn't quite get the guilt in that one. I do know that dummies have an inherently scary quality, and, in fact, our new theater piece is counting on that even. Cool about the new post. I'm definitely gonna need some guest-posts 'cos this place will be a vacant place when I get back. Have a great next 10 or whatever it is days, George! ** Armando, Hi, A. Nice about the vacationing. Oh, you can send them to: dcooperweb@gmail.com. 'The Smell of Us' ... hm, is that the documentary about the great LA club/music venue The Smell? No, right? Anyway, I haven't seen it, obviously. Take care, my friend. ** Aaron Mirkin, Hi, Aaron! Yeah, we managed to get the preliminary version of the final film done, burnt onto BluRays, and onto the reception desks of the Cannes offices. A lot more to do, but ... well, I'm sure you know the whole story of which Zac and I have only gotten as far as the preface so far. Oh, wow, that fan video sounds great! I wrote this not very good essay about 'wrestling as epic storytelling' many ears ago, and that aspect was always a key to my addiction to pro-wrestling back when I had the TV, the access, and the time. Anyway, blabla, thank you! Have an awesome upcoming time, Aaron. ** Right. Enjoy the guilt up there. And I will now bid you all a fond, temporary farewell until next we meet on April 7th. Have fun with the reruns and with your own selves and with each other while I'm gone. Best of the best to you guys!
