$100 HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION WORKPRODUCTORIUM

I’m Alex Pappademas. I live in Los Angeles. I started this Tumblr in– God, was it really 2007? Is that possible?– and no longer remember posting half of what’s on here. These days I write for Grantland and co-host a podcast called Do You Like Prince Movies?. You can see all my Grantland stuff here. But here are direct links to specific Grantland things you might enjoy. A surprisingly emotional Q&A with Dolph Lundgren. Awkward interactions with David Duchovny and Cameron Diaz. A pretty fascinating conversation with Errol Morris. Profiles of Action Bronson and Dan Harmon and Shane Black. 21 notes about post-Kubrick sci-fi movies and 20 thoughts about David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. A feature story about the life of a professional strongman. Career retrospectives on Frank Miller, Hype Williams and Stan Lee. A diary of a few days lost in Kim Kardashian’s mobile-phone game. A deep dive into late-period Nicolas Cage films. An essay about Kim and Kanye that not enough people seemed to like and a review of a Drake show written in a Third Person Indulgent tense that everyone seemed to really hate. An essay about the Universal Soldier movies. Grantland obituaries for Dick Clark, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Blockbuster Video, and Richard Dawson. A story about the mourners at Paul Walker’s crash site and an essay about how we react as a culture when a Nick Stahl-type celebrity goes missing– Nick Stahl, in this case. A representative sample of my ill-advised weekly column about watching football on TV. This thing about that brief moment when it seemed like Axl Rose and Lana Del Rey might be a thing. Reviews of stuff: a Fast & Furious movie, Rick James’ autobiography, the then-new Arsenio Hall show. I also wrote a Playboy story about West Coast rap legend The D.O.C. that won a Los Angeles Press Club National Entertainment Journalism Award for Profile Writing in 2013. I wrote a New York Times Magazine story about Lex Luger that everyone seemed to really like. I also wrote Times Mag stories on Jonny Greenwood and MTV’s reboot of the Teen Wolf franchise. Before that I worked for GQ, where I wrote stories about Quentin Tarantino, Jeff Bridges, Winona Ryder, Jon Gosselin, life at the National Enquirer, and what it’s like to become the new lead singer of Journey after being discovered on YouTube singing in a cover band in Manila, Philippines. That’s probably more than enough, right? My email is alexpappademas at [popular free email service starting with “G”].com. I am almost never not on Twitter.
