Things You Shouldn't Miss
Posted by Jill | 9:28 PM
John Edwards, the Democratic candidate the mainstream media want to pretend doesn't exist, will be on Press the Meat on Sunday. Check your local listings.

What do Marc Maron and Peter Jackson have in common? Both seem to be softening their stances towards employers who done them wrong.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Bob Shaye at New Line Pictures is realizing that a Jackson-helmed The Hobbit has the potential for too many Benjamins to be ignored while Jackson realizes that he is as tied to the Tolkien oeuvre as anyone in Tolkien's own family, and the thought of Sam Raimi directing Bilbo Baggins' story is too awful to even contemplate.

And Marc Maron, who severed his ties with Air America after the Green brothers refused to pay the money owed him by the previous owners, is subbing for Rachel Maddow on Monday and Tuesday next week. The funny is back -- if even for just two days. You can stream the show at Air America's site from 6-8 PM Eastern time. And if you're in New York, plan to pop on down to Comix next weekend and watch Marc Maron rage against the Bush Administration, the Christofascist Zombie Brigade, and the horror that is life in America in the Bush years. And he might even talk about his cats.

...next Friday and Saturday night, October 12 and 13, at 8:30 and 10:45 PM. Buy tickets here.
