The Dream Crew
A buddy of mine is writing a screenplay called The Wolfpack, about a business that breaks “the rules” to lie, cheat, and manipulate girls that you go on dates with to make them think that you’re responsible, monogamous, and sober.
Personally, I love the idea. I was a deadly assassin when it came to drunk, moose-hipped, exiled sorority whores, but when it came to any girl bordering on the top half of the hotness scale, i.e. 5.1 or greater, I was shooting blanks … in my pants. I guess I needed the Wolfpack. I’m sure that they’re already planning on casting Dane Cook in the lead.

He’s gargantuan. [Read Column]
I’m So Over You, Brad
It’s an often joked about concept, but one that every red-blooded male secretly holds in his heart. The Man Crush. Its a combination of ravenous jealousy mixed in with diligent worship and desperate emulation. For the last nine years, my Man Crush was clearly and solely focused on William Bradley Pitt. My growing fixation started with Se7en (1995), but was firmly cemented with Fight Club (1999) and Snatch (2000). But its 2008 and I’ve just turned 32 years old.
It’s time that I said it: Brad, I’m dumping you. [Read Column]
