You can check out a bunch more of these Garfield…eh, interpretations…on the Lasagna Cat website (and in much better resolution).
Cinematic Titanic – MST3K Redux
Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, take heart. The cast-crew of the original series have reunited in what could be a fun new project titled CINEMATIC TITANIC. Joel, Trace, Frank, Josh and Mary Jo will silhouette themselves once more in a direct-to-DVD release of the Al Adamson classic Brain of Blood. The group performed for the…
New Year 2008 – First Post
Man, sorry it’s been so long. Too long. The holidays have come and gone. New Years has come and gone and here we are — seven days into 2008 (dang, the years are starting to accelerate out of control!) and here’s my first post. For those of you who caught me, thanks for your hospitality…
Fletcher Hanks — Unsung Early Comic Genius
Recently was turned on to virtually unknown comics genius Fletcher Hanks thanks to the wonderful Fantagraphics compilation, I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets: The Comics of Fletcher Hanks. Hanks, by all accounts a vicious drunk who regularly beat his wife and son before abandoning them sometime in the ’30s, was one of the unsung…
Ray Dennis Steckler — A Reevaluation
Media Blasters recently packaged together all of their Ray Dennis Steckler DVD releases into two box sets unimaginatively titled Midnight Movies 1 and 2. The sets’ price point ($13 from Deep Discount) was enough to make me double dip on a couple of previously owned titles and finally allowed me to watch, for the first…
Evel Knievel Dead at 69
Evel Knievel made the news two times in the past two days…unfortunately the last time was news regarding his death. The man the Snake River Canyon couldn’t kill was finally felled by a pernicious cocktail of diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis and hepatitis C today (11/30). He was 69. Joel Muskovich has created a suitably tasteful salute…
Apology
The new web setup has necessitated a purge of sorts, for yours truly. I had a backlog of “stuff” to shove out onto the site…and then I was basically barred from my domain due to technical issues… But anyway, I just wanted to apologize to my readers about the sloppiness in the last couple of…
New Sounds
I’ve been having a hell of a time with this website. The hosting site,1 & 1, moved their servers to Kansas City and I was unable to post for the past week…I finally figured out what was going on and patched the problems up… So I’m cleaning house here and discovered some interesting audio bits…
Golden Turkey
It’s Thanksgiving. People are traveling long distances to be together. Most are thinking about dinner. Turkey dinner seems to be pretty much the most traditional type of dinner. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. It just got me thinking about a different kind of Turkey. Recently, I was the winning bidder in an eBay auction…
Stanley Kubrick Remastered
Ouch! I can’t believe I haven’t written about the new Stanley Kubrick remastered DVDs which came out a couple of weeks ago. I opted out of buying the set, picking up the two-disc versions of The Shining and A Clockwork Orange instead — both in new ANAMORPHIC DVD transfers! And after all this time we’d…
