Now, on the starboard side of this newsletter
At your local movie house
Mr. Spurlock will ask the question, "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?" Of course he could not know, because his search is limited to the earth's crust. If he'd but looked in the right place, he'd know I have a celestial cage match scheduled with Mr. Bin Laden on the eve of the Summer Equinox. Until then, enjoy young Kevin Buist's interview with Spurlock. Click .
Helen Hunt is incapable of being unsavory, so I'm not surprised that Christopher found himself in awe of Then She Found Me. Check your movie house this April the twenty-fifth. Click .
Can Robert Downey Jr. hold muster in a role I was born to play when Iron Man premiers on May 2?

Pull up a couch
Paul and Kevin pursue a life on the airwaves in their weekly pod show: The FilmCouch. Peppered with scathing dialogue and observations of keen rifle-scope aim, their auditory criticism is like listening to Pauline Kael swap shots with Jack Nicholson in a Tijuana brothel. Click .

A salute to me. And it's potent.
Could you ever have known--had I not mustered the courage to say it--that Soylent Green is PEOPLE! Did you know I was a powerful lobbyist, not only for the gun, but for a nomad filmmaker roaming the horizon of strange frontiers...Orson Welles. And did you know a little-known Israelite, played by me, toppled the High School Prom as witnessed by over two million people? Well, the people of the Spout Blog knew it all, and now it's available for posterity.

Movie trailers... unleashed!
Have you ever heard of a little-known technology called "The Flash?" Well, mavericks at spout dot com are employing it for the betterment of your home viewing pleasure. The clarity given to the iron sarcophagus housing the ragged soul of Tony Stark brought a single tear to this viewer's eye. Equal parts scotch and iron, the tear of a real man.

Scavenger Hunt, the genesis of a quest...
A real man does not scavenge, but rather winnows out the truth...the ironclad truth. Once known as a game played by children, now brought to you bedecked in a cloak of the digital age, spout dot com is presenting a Hunt of epic proportions. So, stay alert. Stay vigilant! For the ram's horn will sound. Click.

From the Spout's blog
The elegant and relentless Karina Longworth sent me a missive regarding what she shall remember as vividly as a stallion's gait across a sun-stroked dune. And I deliver her words to you:
Tom Cruise + fat suit = comic genius
Who Needs Obscure Italian Art Films When We Have The Hills?

Aaaaahh, Sarasota
If there's one thing this hombre missed last week, it was sitting poolside--wreathed in martini glasses--enjoying the feminine company of Miss Karina Longworth at the Sarasota Film Festival. Click .
