It’s 2003 and I’m sitting in a Midwestern college auditorium with ratty orange seats. The air conditioner is cranked despite it being a cool March night, and that’s good, because I’m buzzed from pre-show beers and wearing a... read more

Read our issue 46 feature on Zach Galifianakis here.--...Sean Penn: "He called my cell phone and was like, 'Hey, it's Sean Penn.' And I'm like, 'Uh-huh...' He's like, 'What are you doing next week?' And I said, 'I'm going to Arby's.' Then I kinda realized it was him. I didn't audition [for Into the Wild]; I just showed up to South Dakota. It was me and him and Vince Vaughn and Emile Hirsch in a hunting lodge together for two weeks. But when I first got there, I said to Sean, 'How do you know me?' and he said he'd... read more
Found in: CultureWhere's Zach?
Youth in Revolt (filming at press time)“It’s a movie with Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Fred Willard, Jean Smart and Ray Liotta. Youth in Revolt is based on this little book that came out years ago. The script’s really, really good. It is a story about young love and what hormones do when they take over. Cera is the main actor, and I play the boyfriend of his mother. It will be a delight to see.”G-Force (in post-production)“I have this really big movie. This isn’t going to be saying that I sold out at all (laughs), but I’m the lead in... read more
Found in: Culture, FeaturesFive reasons you shouldn't care about Zach Galifianakis
1. Zach has ass AIDS and only has a couple of months left to live. It’s really not worth the emotional investment.2. He refuses to keep Kosher and will not celebrate or even recognize the legitimacy of the High Holy Days.3. He’s just a fucking standup comic!4. When asked on national television about the state of standup comedy in America, he said, and I quote: “American standup sucks right now. I’m really one of a very few comedians doing anything interesting or actually funny.”5. Patton is an unreliable source since undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery.Back to Rhymes with Crouton: The... read more

Found in: Culture, NewsBonnaroo 2008: Day 1
What’s struck me so far about Bonnaroo is how friendly everybody is. I suppose some would chalk it up to the festival being in Tennessee, but I'm not so sure-- I'm from Chattanooga, and I've experienced no shortage of surly Tennesseans in my life, most of them in large groups. Plus, almost everyone we talked to yesterday was from out of state-- way out of state. And I can see the draw. This place is just unlike anywhere I've ever been. It's like a little city, but also a county fair, but also a giant backyard party, but also a... read more
Found in: Blogs, FestivusZach Galifianakis to star in explosive film Visioneers
If people exploded from stress, there would have to be an elite group of janitors to properly man traffic-prone highways, office cubicles and any professional sports game, ever. In the new film Visioneers, starring comedian Zach Galifianakis and Judy Greer (better known as Kitty from Arrested Development), surely maintenance workers are earning serious overtime in a world where stress explosions becomes a reality. No joke. Galifianakis plays George Washington Winsterhammerman, an unusually-named dude with a usual existence: wife, kid, comfortable income. Except things seem a bit awry. The Jeffers Corporation, which Winsterhammerman works for, uses an extended middle finger as... read more
