Now this is the Al Goldstein we’ve grown to know and love. Fantastic commentary, Al.
If I had only one criticism to make, it would be a reflection of what other posters have already stated: it appears Al’s discovery of the vlog has inspired a lazy streak, which in turn only neglects his readers of his world-class wordsmithing skills. Hopefully we’ll see another written editorial soon.
I really like Obama, but I am worried that regular white folks in places like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas, just won’t vote for the black guy. The Dem nominee has to win states that Kerry and Gore lost in order to capture enough electoral votes. When people say he can’t close the deal, I think this code for racism. Those blue collar folks just won’t vote for the black guy, and neither will hispanics, who are soon to become the biggest constituency in the US.
Al, that was not long but rather your deepest Vlog yet. I’m going to have to have to watch that again and as mush as possible. I love seeing you in action. The outdoor location was a cool change.
Imagine is right. I think you are the one we all know and love. Please don’t stop these Vlogs - Please? And, please write something soon. I miss your pictures and written word like water. I feel like you spoiled us and now I miss your goodness on paper so bad. Thanks for your first class work.
Your youtube video on gay marriage should be seen by everybody and the editing is perfect “You can suffer too” sums up how unfair life can really be at times. That entire clip is an epic. Wow, that was unforgettable! It covers relationships faster than I can blink my eyes and it’s true. Readers - don’t miss it. It’s mandatory and Al Goldstein at his best.
As a life long chaser of windmills who has almost always voted for dead anarchists, I think the mirage that Obama offers more than what I know to be the fucked up real world views of fraulein Clunton and commandant McPain. Maybe just once, we will find water in the desert. There has truly been a drought of competent and honest leaders in my adult lifetime.
Al, No picture on Wikipedia among other things. This 10 million page encyclopedia could do wonders for you but needs to be maintained. I think your work has been neglected and that’s a loss for you and the rest of the world as well. Ask Booble if they will help you get current.
Al - you need more hyperlinks. This is simply mandatory and the more the better. I can’t emphasize that enough. Plain and simple.
Why promote Midnight Blue if Al is not getting any money out of it? I think we should promote his personality so he benefits accordingly. I would focus on the Al Goldstein page exclusively. I think Wikipedia needs an authorized picture as well (used by permission - Wiki has rules). We all have 24 hours and a life. Consider yourself lucky that we share a little space with you and try some kindness in the future.
I wanted to let you know that I heeded the advice offered in one of your earlier vlogs. I cleaned all of the food out of my cabinets and trucked it over to the nearest homeless shelter. I then went to Sam’s Club and purchased a gross of Sno Balls, and have been eating 5 packs a day every day for the past three weeks now.
My only question is, what would you recommend for a beverage? I usually wash down the Sno Balls with a can of soda or a 12 ounce glass of chocolate milk, but I’d definitely appreciate hearing your input.
Thanks again for your life-changing dietary counsel.
Al Goldstein would be a much happier guy if a) he were still publishing SCREW and b)he were still producing MIDNIGHT BLUE. I’d be a much happier person if SCREW were still being published but I suspect that its circulation were in the 200,000+ range instead of the 20,000 range. Al’s Screwmag.com website might have become a success had it been the internet’s equivalent of MIDNIGHT BLUE.
I don’t consider Al to be a failure as the result of SCREW’s demise. Thanks to the internet, a lousy economy and rising paper and energy prices some of my favorite magazines ceased publication during the past ten years. I’m talking about such late, great magazines as PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO, CULT MOVIES, OUTRE and CINEFANTASTIQUE.
I intended to say in my previous message that SCREW would be in existence today if its circulation were in the 200,000+ range instead of a rather paltry 20,000 range. One can thank the VILLAGE VOICE for sapping SCREW of much of its readership.
It seems to me that much of Obama’s charm is due to the fact he’s a more interesting person than someone like Rudy Giuliani or Hillary Clinton. Rudy would have never been a candidate in the Republican presidential primary race had there been no terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. He would have spent the last days of being NYC’s mayor by eating hotdogs at Yankee Stadium.
Did you really just call Obama a “negro” and Hillary a “bitch”? What rock have you been living under? People who worry about race and gender are living in the last century.
“People who worry about race and gender are living in the last century.”
i don’t worry about it, i was merely stating the facts. obama IS a negro and hillary IS a bitch.
your racial/sexist oversensitivity blinded you from seeing the point of my comment, which is that this country is not ready for a negro or a bitch as president.
that’s a fact. watch what happens in november. if mccain loses, i’ll eat my own shit for you on youtube.
lecture the tens of millions who won’t cast their vote for a negro or a bitch, not me. i’m just stating the facts, calling a spade a spade because too many people like you are so far removed from reality you don’t have a clue.
McCain is not your averge white man. He was a POW who learned nothing from his suffering and became a hawk. Now he’s ready for the rest home. He needs to go to bed and take his meds.
Lecture the millions of American’s who talk too much and don’t put out. What does it take to get people motivated to vote?
We won’t know anything until the votes are counted and then many people will scream but first count to a thousand unless you voted.
This country in so many ways is way ahead in the game and still America has a tremendous amount of growing up to do and that time line may stretch farther than any imagination can see.
The ultimate insult to people who are passive and remain a big part of the problem is that they have to live with the fact that Al Goldstein did something with his life and they didn’t. These people are the ones who are really burning the country and inflicting the greatest long term damage. These people are sick and their problems remain terminal.
Al, you live in Hope and die in Despair. Face ‘reality’…as Bill Maher does. He refuses to ‘get married’ because he refuses to have a relationship built on ‘lies’ and ‘deceit’…It’s not that he doesn’t ‘get laid’ or ‘get women’ or have company when he wants it; he just refuses to ‘play the game’ required by women in order to stay married. When you ‘were in love’, no one could tell you it was an illusion…you needed to go through the whole nine yards; lose your money/property and pay the lawyers money to get rid of a woman who owned you because of a piece of paper you signed. Shame on you…
Al, the fantasy is often hard to see at the time. I’m really amazed to hear the deep honesty and convictions you produce in these Vlogs (and your writings) and it moves me in a very strange way. I have to question my own life and ask myself how much if it is real and that goes beyond intimacy. I never thought I would write something like this on your Blog.
The regular devotees of this blog/vlog should be thankful that it exists. SCREW ceased publication for the second time around late May 2007 and it seems that it might not experience a second resurrection. If those people who currently own the right to publish SCREW were genuinely interested in reviving that magazine they would probably be spending their time by bidding on old SCREW issues on Ebay. Or, they’d be pleading with Bill Lustig to release additional MIDNIGHT BLUE DVD volumes.
“Al Goldstein would be a much happier guy if a) he were still publishing SCREW and b)he were still producing MIDNIGHT BLUE. I’d be a much happier person if SCREW were still being published but I suspect that its circulation were in the 200,000+ range instead of the 20,000 range. Al’s Screwmag.com website might have become a success had it been the internet’s equivalent of MIDNIGHT BLUE.”
Al Goldstein is the flagship for Screw Magazine. You can’t have Screw magazine and no Al Goldstein, Bill Lustig found that out!
Still single & smart, does kicking an old man when he’s down make you feel better? Does it massage your your ego to be selfish and self centered? When you get old and sick, what prepaid piece of ass will camp out at your death bed?
A man unwilling to ever take a chance and trust a woman has no heart. His only loyalties lie in himself, his possessions and money. He is defined by what he has in his pocket. Thus he has no soul.
The fact that Al took a chance on many women means that despite the porn excess his ability to love and be loved remained intact. It’s just that women he chose refused to accept him for who he really was and have an open relationship.
Al is still an icon. The vlogs just don’t do his voice justice. He needs to reply formally to critics who would chastize him without having walked in his shoes.

Excellent vlog Al. You summed Obama perfectly.
My sister said the other night about Obama while he gave a speech on TV, “I wish I could believe him”.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:11 pm

Readers, the gay marriage video is really not about gay marriage so please don’t be discouraged about the title. Everyone can relate to this one.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
forget about obama being black, he won’t be elected because he’s friends with too many militant leftists.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Al, I think you’ve actually fucking lost it this time.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Judging from the biased support of a corrupt, election fixing media, Obama is either one of two things.
1. A sell out Uncle Tom puppet whose strings will be pulled by NeoCon Globalists in exchange for a powerless White House figurehead watch.
2. A minority pawn set up to be easily beat by old man McCain, who was handpicked to serve Dubya’s 3rd term.
Nothing in politics can be believed after the 9/11 inside job a fascist complicit media helped to cover up.
Barack Obama is nothing but a toy plaything for DC boys who cry wolf.
In a write in ballot, vote for Al Goldstein or the family dog instead.

the majority of this country is not ready to elect either a black or a white woman.
this guarantees a republican win.
i hate to say it but it’s true.
even if obama’s middle name wasn’t hussein, he wouldn’t get elected.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:06 am
Al - some issues,
Please tell Booble that your hyperlinks going back a year are not working.
2. Your comment tracker has not moved past 6 and this is 11 or 12.
3. Your last 3 Vlogs appear on you tube without any identification that viewers are watching Al Goldstein courtesy of Booble or otherwise.
4. Publish your comment at the very bottom of the comments is not working.
5. Your name should always be a tag on youtube.
6. Your myspace is not current. What Happened?
I love the Vlogs and hope they revitalize you.

anyone can update wikipedia.
why don’t you web dorks with no life get on that?
there isn’t even a midnight blue wikipedia page for christ’s sake.

Hi Al,
I wanted to let you know that I heeded the advice offered in one of your earlier vlogs. I cleaned all of the food out of my cabinets and trucked it over to the nearest homeless shelter. I then went to Sam’s Club and purchased a gross of Sno Balls, and have been eating 5 packs a day every day for the past three weeks now.
My only question is, what would you recommend for a beverage? I usually wash down the Sno Balls with a can of soda or a 12 ounce glass of chocolate milk, but I’d definitely appreciate hearing your input.
Thanks again for your life-changing dietary counsel.
April 27th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Al, where did you tape your vlog? I like the sculpture thing behind you. A bottle of mexican coca cola is great with a snoball.
April 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Seems like the number of responses are hidden and Al posts as Anon for fear that this topic is too political.
Al, Vlog rants & raves should not be whispered. Scream and yell like the opinionated power control debate freak of your Screw glory days.
You true voice comes out when you write. In your Vlogs you sound like a defeated old man rather than a loud, obnoxious New Yorker.
Where’s the in-your-face porn Jew we have all come to know and love? What happened to him? We want him back!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Al, I miss your writing tremendously and I want you to continue with the Vlogs, pictures and so on.
Please let us know when your Hustler article is due out.
Thanks.

is there a fucking dork strike up in here or what?

if the fucking democrats weren’t so damn clueless, they’d have a normal white man up for the nomination.
running a negro or a bitch against a white man will be a loser every time.
are the rich, old, white men who run the democrat party really this clueless?
April 30th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Al, why do you hate yourself so much?
