Rob Long looks at the impact of porn on the video business and then leaps to an analysis of what's going on in Hollywood. An excerpt: What’s down are production costs, a consequence of the fragmented, tighter margin business. In other words, what’s going on in the pornography business is what’s going to be going on in the rest of the entertainment industry in two years: costs pushed down; online distribution;...

David Duchovny in sex addiction treatment | It's either an elaborate publicity stunt for Californication, or the show has helped mess with his head. Maybe if he had only done wholesome shows instead. Just like Bob Crane in the Donna Reed Show . (I like to point out the flaws in my own arguments sometimes.)

Should I see it? Yes, with strong cautions. Strongly acted and sharply directed, this movie is still quite disturbing. The subject matter, actor Bob Crane's disintegration at the hands of his own sexual perversity, is a harsh topic and director Paul Schrader ( Hardcore ) is unflinching. Greg Kinnear once again shows his skills as Crane. He's so good you forget he looks nothing like the man. Opposite...

Islamophobia in fiction! Ho-gannnn!!! The former Nixon aide and convert to Islam Bob Crane (whose lackluster commitment to truth and accuracy I discussed here and here) reviews Brad Thor's blockbuster novel The Last Patriot, and finds it (gasp) worse...

At a time when few black actors were seen in regular roles on American television, Ivan Dixon was one of the first, playing US Staff Sergeant James Kinchloe, the communications officer for the prisoners-of-war held by the Germans, in the sitcom Hogan's Heroes.

Compared to the grotesque, disgusting and sometimes even creative celebrity deaths in yesterday's world of entertainment, death by drug overdose in today's show business world (real or accidental) seems an almost gentle way to check out.

We’ve lost another of the companions of our youth. The actor Ivan Dixon, who played Kincheloe on “Hogan's Heroes,” has died. He was 76. For my money, Sgt. Baker couldn't carry Sgt. Kincheloe’s dog tags. Last one leaving Stalag 13, turn out the lights, please. “Hogan's Heroes March,” Bob Crane with John Banner, from “The TV Theme Song [...]

After all, Celebutardia is the place where fame and infamy are one and the same, so having your name mentioned in even the worst of contexts can serve not
