Rent this movie. Immediately.

It escaped notice in theaters, but it's a gem. It's about Leslie Vernon, a serial/spree killer in the same vein as Meyers, Voorhees and Krueger who has allowed a trio of college students film a documentary about him as he prepares for his next 'job'. He explains away many of the mysteries behind these kinds of killers, including how he is seemingly able to walk and keep up with running teens (you wouldn't believe how much cardio I have to do, he says or something like). Leslie is personable, friendly and has a good sense of humor, but when he turns on he is an unforgiving killing machine. That's all I'll say except that this movie really injects some new blood into an old genre. Pick it up at your local video store or throw it into your queue because if you enjoy horror, with a little dash of comedy, this is right up your alley.

My wife calls it a "Male Thing"-the getting off of repeated watching of The Three Stooges or The Bowery Boys-but I stand tall and proud as a lover of Low Brow Cinema.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a copy of The Little Beige Book of Nondescript Stories? I would like to read Demonsong and Dat Tay Vao (sp?) again...

I apoligize if this has been posted before.

Fred Saberhagen (1930-2007)

Renown sci-fi/fantasy author Fred Saberhagen died on
Friday, June 29, 2007, after a two-year battle with cancer.

He had a long and distinguished career in the fields of
science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

Constantly re-inventing himself, he wrote several popular long
running series including his Dracula Novels, The Berserker books
(implacable alien machines bent on destroying all organic life),
both his "Swords" and "Lost Swords" series, and in more recent
years his "Book of the Gods."

Fred walks in shadows with his brother-in-arms, the late
great Roger Zelazny.

His was a Goodlife...

(Until I looked it up to type this post I had been pronouncing it "LaNangue")

Has F. Paul had any talks about adding on to this? I haven't finished the Chronicles, yet, but he created one heck of a galaxy with all sorts of directions anyone could go.

I'm on Wheels within Wheels (or something like that) and this is the only story I've had to skip around on. I just can't get into the characters like I had with Pete LaNague and the Healer. I find the flashbacks with Jr. are the most entertaining.

Anyways, I just thought that this would be a cool storyline to pick up with again. Like, explain what LaNague did afterwards, or, how the universe got to where it was during the Healer books.

From the newsletter (lest any of ye not have received - or read - it):

"6/25 - spoke to the head of production at Beacon. They had a meeting with a hot German director last week that they like a lot."

I know FPW has been sworn to secrecy, etc., but can you at least tell us who the director ISN'T going to be?

Namely...please, please, please tell me it isn't Uwe Boll. And yes, I am mostly joking.

I've been a collector of film material for over 30 years and would love to hear your stories. Got a favorite book? Find a poster? Share your stories...

I just read about the next movie in the Batman series, titled The Dark Knight. I really appreciate that they've returned The Batman to his darker roots as a mean-as-hell vigilante who just hates scumbag crooks. They say the Joker won't be any stupidly-laughing-dancing-to-Prince music, either. He will be darker, too.

Good.

Just watched the premier of Burn Notice on USA.

I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Donovan from his "Touching Evil" days and i wasn't disappointed. The premise is fairly simple. An ex-spy who fell out of favor with the gov. is now stuck in Miami helping the little guy. It reminded me so much of Jack i wanted to cry a little.

The easy, laid back character, the "simple" fix to complex situations...everything a gal needs after a long day in the office. So, those who have seen it, nay or yeay?
