Recently, I'm crazy about old TV drama. A few days ago, I mentioned Flash Gordon...that was too old, but I like short tv dramas. Hitchcock presents, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Hammer House of Horror, and recently I saw Tales of the Unexpexted. This is England TV anthology, short stories from Roald Dahl. Specially, most famous story is Man from the South.
I did already read this short story, but drama was thrilling too.And other episodes, Lamb to the Slaughter is weird, Neck is blackish comedy. If you have opportunity, I recommend it. This is funny and scary and weird.

Hi,
I am new to this board and new to F. Paul Wilson. I am going to start the Tomb, the first of the Repairman Jack series. I just would like to know about the rest of the series, is it recommended to read the series in order or could you bounce around between each novel? Very excited to start though and look forward to reading what others have to say on this board!

....Re-enacted by bunnies in 30 seconds.

I especially like "Tubular Bells" sung by bunnies.

According to a number of sources (http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/nov04.php), Paramount Home Entertainment is releasing "The Keep" on DVD this fall (street date = 11/30) with no extras.

I’m considering remedying that. I’ve spoken to Doug Winter (critic, biographer, novelist, columnist for Video Watchdog) and David Schow (screenwriter and novelist) – both acerbic wits with strong opinions about the film – and asked them if they’d be interested in joining me for a commentary track. They are.

The plan: We’ll sit down in a studio sometime in August when David is on the East Coast. We’ll run the film and shoot our mouths off for 96 minutes. Then we’ll put it onto CDs and sell them to anyone who’d want to play it along with the movie.

A commentary track that trashes the film…I don’t think this has ever been done before. Could get a lot of press.

Then again, it may not.

Either way it’ll be a kick.

Well, SOMEONE liked it...

Lookie, there's someone calling themselves "Glaeken" on the message board for The Keep. The truth comes out! Glaeken is, in fact, Italian.

I just received a copy of the UK hardback of 'Wheels Within Wheels'. I have to say it's one of the worst covers I've seen for any book!
There's even a credit for the 'designer' of the book on the rear flap - bloody cheek
Anyone have anything to compete for crapness?

PS fpw - do you have any say in the design of jackets on foreign editions?

wooo finally finished LEGACIES. my third and second favorite RJ novel (haunted air being my fav and then the tomb being last) boy is jack a lot more balls to the wall than he seemed in haunted air! he kills everyone! not that they dont deserve it but.....wow. his character is a def. a whole lot darker in this book than he is in haunted air... i dont know how i feel about that... if only GIA knew. LEGACIES was awesome though. ALICIA was a good character to balance jack out and i loved all the stunts jack pulled like the eye trick and the booby trapped house. i wish we saw more of VICKY and GIA but im glad it ended with them together at least. cant wait for conspiracies, then im gonna have to order the next 2. ----j

To any pack-rats who may be lurking, I'm having a really hard time finding a copy of "The Touch" - I can't find it in any of my local used stores (9), or on e-bay. Just wondering if anyone had a copy they might be willing to part with. Paperback of course! I've got the last 3 of the cycle and don't want to skip this book. Thanks

I'm reading "The Fifth Harmonic" now, and I am loving it. Currently, Will ("Cecil" ) and Maya have made it to the village near the third tine. I gotta tell you, though, that scene when Will is caught in the Jeep in the rainstorm and runs into the pyramid and all of the animals start showing up scared the hoo-hah out of me! At the same time, though, I wished I wasn't on break while I was reading it; I wanted to keep going to see what happened.

One stupid question, though, if I may: when Will first looked in his duffel to make sure his "Kevorkian kit' was intact, there was an acronym mentioned ("D5W") that I've never heard of--I'm assuming it's something medical. What is D5W?

Thank you, and I look forward to finishing the book on the train back home tonight.

I watched/listened to Conan the Barbarian last night with the Milius/Arnold commentary track. I learned a lot.

I’ve always liked the film – I think they did a great job of recreating Howard’s ancient world – but I was especially impressed by how much thought went into the imagery: the title sequence of a steel bar being hammered into a weapon is followed by a sequence in which a boy is fashioned into a human weapon.

And I like that it’s a movie-movie (i.e., you can watch it with the sound off and still know most of what’s going on).
