Turning a amusement park ride into a movie can be a tricky endeavor. Take the above named examples, for instance. The first spawned a very popular trilogy (so far), with the latest currently in theaters. The latter didn’t do so well. Well, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the animated 3-D stereoscopic ride, Corkscrew Hill, at […]
To promote Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Fox put up a replica of the Surfer on the London Eye, according to Variety. Do any of my British readers have any photos they’d like to share? I’d love to post them for the rest of the readers to see, if you do. Send me […]
I met Mike at Haunt X in February. He’s a really nice (although somewhat shy) and very talented artist. I found his work compelling and am working on an interview with him for the October issue of The Genre Traveler. Anyway, I just found out that he’ll be at Comic-Con in San Diego next month. […]
Well, due to my back injury I finally watched all 14 movies that I got through the William Shatner DVD club (it’ll be missed). Anyway, I rarely watch most of my DVD collection more than once, so when I learned that I could rent my DVD collection through a new service called iLetYou.com, I had […]
Since I hurt my back a few weeks back, I’ve been catching up on a lot of DVDs in my collection. I’ve watched all the 14 or 16 movies I got through the William Shatner DVD club, as well as worked my way through a few of the movies on my “50 Science Fiction Classics” […]
Hi everyone. I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. I’ll start with the bad news. The June issue will very probably be a couple of weeks late. I lost one week with the computer crash. Another recovering from the computer crash. And, for the past week I’ve been relegated to the recliner due […]
My friend, Michael Hinman (well, actually, I’ve never met him in person. But we email back and forth because write for his website, Airlock Alpha) will be at Oasis 20 this weekend as one of the guests. How cool is that? Of course, he says not to go because of him, because, “I’m a nobody. […]
My computer crashed on Friday, taking half my email and a chunk of treasured photos of my dog with it. My husband worked diligently for 5 days trying to get it to run again. Finally, yesterday I was able to access my email and files. However, now my browser, Safari, will not allow me to […]
Some people ask me what I mean by this tag-line. So, I thought I’d give an example because a couple of things have happened over the past few weeks that really illustrate this point. The first happened a couple weeks ago. It weirded me out so much I almost posted something about it here to […]
I just got back from Haunt X and you’re my first contact — after saying hello to my husband and dog, that is. It was incredible. I’m exhausted. I was there Friday night through this afternoon. I was so busy checking out the sights, talking with people and taking notes at the seminars I attended […]
