Since I was rendered mentally fuzzy (okay, more so than usual) by the cruds the last couple weeks, I plumb neglected to announce this: Tor Books is launching the all-new Wild Cards volume Inside Straight with a gala mega-signing Saturday, February 2, 2008 at Page One Bookstore, Montgomery and Juan Tabo NE in Albuquerque, [...]

According to this item, Maila Nurmi, known for her portrayal of Vampira on the big screen and small, is no more. Before she can appear again she must await the implementation of Plan 9: the Resurrection of the Dead. Good luck, with that, Vampira! You shall be missed. === Who will be the next American Hero? (spread [...] Scott Phillips has decided to release his most recent film, Gimme Skelter, on DVD through Kurly Tlapoyawa’s Burning Paradise Entertainment label. Check it out. It’s a good movie – I reviewed it here myself. As I mentioned, it’s not to everybody’s taste. But if you like indie horror – it transcends the genre. Mainly, bravo to Scott [...] By sheerest happenstance I just found out the sort of tattoo Annja sports on the cover of Secret of the Slaves is commonly called a “tramp stamp.” That can’t be what the Gold Eagle marketing people had in mind… How did we get by before the advent of Urban Dictionary? Boy howdy, they sure do hit on [...] Yep, the senses-shattering next volume of the illustrious Wild Cards saga has wrapped and is about to be delivered to Tor. It’s called Busted Flush. And unlike the soon-to-be-released Inside Straight, I most definitely am in this one. Busted Flush is by way of being another mosaic novel – all the stories are intertwined. It’s a [...] Reviews are coming in for the next Wild Cards volume, Inside Straight. Publishers Weekly, the big enchilada, gives us a good notice (scroll down. And down.) Jeremy at FantasyBookSpot rates it an 11 out of 10 (shades of Spinal Tap!), and Harriet Klausner’s Genre Go Round Reviews likes it too. Meanwhile Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist [...] Happy Dia de los Muertos, everybody! Hope you enjoyed Halloween. I did. Went and watched movies with friends. I’m sitting here wasting time online to start the day – need to cut back on that – and have the German Bomber Channel, in this case The History Channel, on as sort of electronic [...] According to his blog, my pal Scott Phillips’ latest indie classic Gimme Skelter just won Best of the Fest Feature Film at the Halloween Horror Picture Show Film Fest in Tampa, Florida. It’s high time his uniquely twisted genius started to gain widespread recognition. Financial success in his case is inevitable. It should happen sooner rather [...] Just watched Idiocracy on cable. I loved Mike Judge’s Office Space. This one, also by Beavis and Butt-Head creator Judge (Albuquerque’s own!), offered some laugh-out-loud moments … such as the sign for “St. God’s Hospital,” with the last few letters crunched down the side where they run into an angle in the building. But [...] Just got back from a premiere-weekend showing of Gimme Skelter. Enjoyed it greatly. Scott was kind enough to get me in free, hoping, he said, to hear my laugh in “all the right places.” I trust he did. It’s a very good low-budget indy film with Scooter’s distinctive (demented) perspective. Billy Garberina did a great job [...] |
