Skinny-dippin' in a sea of Lee, I'd propose on bended knee...

Looks like Henry Rollins is jumping on the movie critic couch.

Quote from: NY Daily News
The days of the sweater-clad, thumb-ranking, warm-and-fuzzy TV film critic may be at an end: Rocker Henry Rollins is in the movie house.

The front man for '80s punk band Black Flag, radio talker, spoken-word artist and selfproclaimed "angry man" now hosts his own movie review program, "Henry's Film Corner," airing the first Saturday of every month at midnight on the Independent Film Channel.

...
"Reviewing can be an art, and if Hollywood listens to the right critics, maybe their films can be better. I'm approaching my show as a guy who loves movies," he said. "As a fan, I'll respect a film enough to care when if it's bad. But if a film angers me, I'll torch it."

And he knows what he doesn't like.

"I have a contempt for lazy filmmaking," he said. "A movie like 'Terminator 3' was boring and insulting to the bricklayer who pays 10 bucks times two, with parking, for him and his date. Arnold Schwarzenegger owes that guy dinner!"

I know I'll have this set on my DVR. I usually enjoy Henry's spoken word and written word work. You can't go wrong when Hank is in the house.

I stumbled on IFC a little while ago, some good movies and some great music, adding Rollins is a solid addition, I enjoy his work and his veiwpoint on the world.

And RIP to Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.

Liar! Liar!

Wow, that's so cool. I'm a huge fan of the guy. It'll be great to see him go off on the next Ishtar.

WoW! GaH!
