dirty work was one of the funniest movies i've ever seen

[SeattleLionsFan]

Artie is an extremely funny, but unbelievably troubled man. I hope he can come to grips with his demons and live a long happy life.

[Pizza Boy]

Dirty Work is an awesome movie.

My guess is Artie has outstanding gambling debts leading to his severe depression. Plus drugs.

That would be the best guess IMO, almost always the problem, and
always their solution.

btw, nice avatar Deuce, I'm still watching the 2nd season dvd I picked up, are they making a 3rd season? I don't get HBO, so I have to wait for the dvds.

Elliot Smith managed to stab himself in the heart, and succeeded. Of course, conspiracy theorists believe his girlfriend killed him.

I personally think that some one with as many drug difficulties as artie or elliot smith would intentionally OD if they really wanted to get the job done........might as well go doing something you enjoy, right?

Stabbing one's self in the chest is a cry for help/attention (in smith's case....anytime you cry for help in that fashion you run the risk of doing damage)

Yeah, they are so petty and immature it is just a riot. 1st season>2nd season BTW. If you haven't seen the 1st season you should check it out.

Sadly, there will be no 3rd season til they realize that film careers usually go nowhere.

Jean Simmons died. She was in some very good older films like Elmer Gantry and Guys and Dolls.

Flavor Unit emcee Apache, born Anthony Teaks, passed away today (January 22) after a protracted illness.
As an original member of Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit, Apache first appeared on 45 King Presents The Flavor Unit and his best known single “Gangsta B**ch” peaked at #11 on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles chart.
Shakim Compere, CEO and Co-Founder of Flavor Unit Records, remembered Apache.
“Without Apache there would have been no Queen Latifah, no Naughty By Nature, no Chill Rob G., no anything” Compere told AllHipHop.com. “Apache was the string that tied all of Flavor Unit together. Without Apache none of this would be.”
Apache was one of the three original rappers in Flavor Unit, which also counted Queen Latifah and Latee as early group members.
The rap crew consisted of groups or rappers like Lakim Shabazz, Lord Alibaski, Chill Rob G., Naughty By Nature, Freddie Foxxx, Nikki D and Queen Latifah.
Apache's appearances included collaborations with Naughty by Nature, Fat Joe, Tupac, and A Tribe Called Quest.
“That’s my g, r.i.p in peace big homie, you will be missed, shout out to his family naughty by nature, I just did a show with them, god bless,” DJ Kid Capri said via Twitter.

Listened to the so called hit "gangsta bit$h"--utter filth and garbage!

[Rocky Bleier]

I remember watching Spartacus and thinking Jean Simmons was beautiful.

I remember watching Spartacus and thinking Jean Simmons was beautiful.

When you see movie stars of the past, they didn't have the option to spend millions on plastic surgery, it was all natural beauty. I agree she just had a naturally very pretty look about her. Elmer Gantry is a great old movie BTW, Burt Lancaster and Shirley Jones both won acting Oscars.

the name of the song should have really given you a clue about the content.

like walking into to a club called "A bunch of dudes fucking each other"...I'm guessing you'd leave the place saying it's just a bunch of homos in there.


but in all seriousness his real classic song is 'Kill De White People' go check that one out

[Rocky Bleier]

No thanks. My time is valuable to me.
