The Black List: Bill Maher’s Infernal Racket This month, Bill Maher delivers more fire and brimstone -- and laughs -- with the release of Religulous, his pontification on the absurdity of organized religion. Here, the cheeky devil exorcises his demons with his list of top ten things that bug him.

1. The “too cool to dance in the aisles” people who stay seated during Mamma Mia!

2. When the Jacuzzi jets fill your trunks with air and make your ass float to the surface.

The Black List: Cho Time! 1 Static electricity. I hate it. I just fucking hate it -- especially when I’m taking my computer out of the X-ray machine at airport security. I wish I had oven mitts because it always gives me a big shock. Sparks come off and shit. I can’t even express in words how much I hate it.

Malcolm McLaren Fires Off!

He godfathered the Sex Pistols, partnered with Vivienne Westwood, and got snubbed by Anna Wintour at the Costume Institute Ball on a night he should’ve been knighted. Let's just say, he's earned his right to gripe about a few things in life.

image1. I hate airports: They smell like old socks, rotting bodies, and filthy food. The cattle ranch aspects, the airless, timeless, boring sense of death about them. Their pretense at being beacons of knowledge about the cities they are built around. They’re presumptuous and odious products that are supposed to inform us and celebrate the city they fly out of and the cities they fly into. 

2. I hate warm, red wine from California.  I hate the words “Californian zinfandel,” Californian “champagne” (Champagne is a place, a part of France where only champagne can be made.)

Nick Stahl, Starving Artist

He ate people in Sin City, saw dead people in 'Carnivale,' and was eaten (by alligators) in Bully. So how come we find the 28-year-old indie darling so charming? Here, the young thespian tells us what he finds less than adorable.

By

Steve Garbarino

imageNick Stahl’s career began opposite Mel Gibson in The Man Without a Face. Since then, his own brooding visage has become known, most notably in darkly psychological movies, from Larry Clark’s Florida-set, true-crime saga, Bully (in which his sadistic sandwich-maker is murdered by his friends) to the award-winning In the Bedroom, to his fleet-footed cannibal-monster, who collects trophy heads of his female victims in Sin City.

Sci-fi lovers, of course, know him best as the unlikely hero of T3, the third in the Terminator series. The sweetness and sourness came together like perfect salad dressing in HBO’s “Carnivale,” in which his life-giving (and taking) character could be perceived as either Satan or Christ. Sundance isn’t new to him—he’s had films premiere there seven times now—but he returned this year with Sleepwalking (co-starring Charlize Theron) and Quid Pro Quo (with Vera Farmiga). And there’s so much more on his plate, which we hope doesn’t include someone’s hand (see Sin City). Like Lazarus, you can’t keep a good man—or actor—down. —Steve Garbarino

David Spade’s Rules of Disengagement

Here’s what the true Mister Hollywood hates about that insufferable place in the merciless sun that fries out your hair, causing nasty split ends. (Blow-dryers are not on this list.)

BlackBook

image1. Leaf blowers.
2. Girls who flake when they are supposed to meet you because they forgot about their “friend’s birthday party.”
3. When traffic is so bad you don’t go at a green light.
4. Girls who flake when they “think they are getting sick,” and then you see them later that night at a bar and they say it’s walking pneumonia.
5. The over-kissing of ass of certain movies at awards time.
6. High-waisted pants on girls. Bring back the low-riders; they’ve done nothing wrong.
7. Paparazzi that say “it’s my job.” A crack dealer is a job, too; it doesn’t mean it’s a good one.
