There's never been a compelling reason to have a portable TV. Do we really need another way to rot our brains? Flo TV certainly thinks so.

Cameron's goal was to shoot as if he were filming a documentary on another planet. It was the kind of filmmaking environment that required...
...have a lot of favorite bands. Deerhoof are amazing. You can't go wrong with a name like Deerhoof. I get happy for bands when they get really successful, because I remember what it was like. Like Kings of Leon--I'm happy for those guys. When I hear live drums and real guitars and people singing on the radio, it makes me feel that there's still hope for this world...
