You know why I like Heidi Fleiss? Because she doesn’t give a fuck. She pimped whores, turned out Tom Sizemore, and got hooked on crystal. So what’s her next career move? Let some guys make a documentary about her, of course. It’s not like a movie could make her look any worse than she already does. Part of HBO’s documentary film series, “Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal” chronicles her living a new life in Nevada, where she runs a laundromat, tries to open a male brothel that caters to women, and acts like a fucking loon. Apparently, the subject sobered up, metaphorically-speaking, halfway through the making of the movie and ended her participation with the filmmakers. Eventually, though, she granted a final interview in which she equated herself with Alexander the Great: “‘I, too, conquered the world in my twenties – the sex world.’” Congratulations on that, Heidi. Also, the timing is perfect, with word that she’s facing felony drug charges for her love of meth.
Apparently, the Biography Channel, which I guess now calls itself the Bio Channel, has a new series debuting on August 19th, “Shatner’s Raw Nerve.” Hosted by William Shatner, the program is an “edgy and offbeat celebrity interview series,” featuring a star-studded guest lineup that includes Leonard Nimoy, Jimmy Kimmel–and Jenna Jameson. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on what Captain Kirk and the zombie stripper will be discussing. Maybe he’ll ask her why she looks high as a fucking kite in this video, shot after the most recent time her boyfriend Tito Ortiz has gotten the shit beaten out of him since he started dating the star of “Cum One, Cum All.”

Next week is the premiere of HBO’s new war miniseries, “Generation Kill.” Based on the book of the same name by Evan Wright, a Rolling Stone reporter who was embedded with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion‎ during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the series was created by David Simon and Ed Burns, who created “The Wire.” Instead of attempting to portray the war in its totality, “Generation Kill” focuses on the Marines and their war culture. In a recent interview, Burns, a Vietnam War veteran, was asked if working the show changed his perspective on war: “I still hate it. It just makes it more of a tragedy to know that we sent these guys into combat in the wrong war, on a make-up war. We wasted such talent on a lie.” The show debuts July 13.
The UK’s Channel 4′s More4 is hosting a “Stanley Kubrick Series” later this month that features films from the great auteur who brought us “The Shining,” “Lolita,” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” To promote it, the channel created a painstakingly produced promo: a one-minute tracking shot that lets you see behind the camera from the director’s point of view as he tours the set of “The Shining”‘s Overlook Hotel. The twins, the axe, the furry are all there. It’s pretty beautiful. |Cinematical|
