Okay, am I the only geek that is super excited to see this newest movie from the writing pair Frost and Pegg, which also stars them? I have mostly loved their other stuff and the few previews of this I have seen have me cracking up.

"It's probing time".

It's a good one. Check it out:
[INDENT]Between The Lines feature interview F Paul Wilson

This month, it’s my honor to feature one of the supernatural thriller genre’s most interesting personalities, F. Paul Wilson. I’m not only a huge fan, I consider Paul a friend. At various conferences around the country, we’ve been on panels together and closed bars after hours. One of Paul’s most admirable traits is his protectiveness of his family and personal life. During this interview I made a valiant attempt to break in, but he held firm and the firewall stayed up! Paul might claim all that private stuff is boring anyway, but trust me, there’s nothing boring or dull about this amazingly talented writer. And you won’t find a kinder pro in the business. And if anyone’s curious, the F stands for Francis.

The only fault I can possibly find in Paul’s character is his willingness to hang with Joe Konrath! Just kidding Joe, you know I love you like a brother.

Where to begin? Paul’s invested 35 plus years in this crazy business of writing fiction. Nearly every F. Paul Wilson story involves some degree of supernatural suspense. He’s probably best known in the horror and science fiction genres although many of the Repairman Jack novels cross into the thriller camp.

So who is this intriguing character called Repairman Jack and what does he repair? It’s a safe bet he won’t be called upon to fix a leaky toilet, seal old windows, or silence a squeaking floor board. It’s also a safe bet that RJ doesn’t advertize his services in the yellow pages. So who is he and what does he do? Perhaps the best answer is from a Repairman Jack Wikipedia article:

“Repairman Jack is a self-titled “fix-it” man, but not in the common workshop sense. He is something of an underground mercenary, hired by everyday people to fix situations that cannot be dealt with through legal means (e.g. blackmail).”

That’s a nearly perfect description. RJ’s adventures have ranged from investigating the World Trade Center tragedy (GROUND ZERO, 2009) to exposing and bringing down a couple of phony spiritual mediums in Queens, NYC (THE HAUNTED AIR, 2004) When I Googled “Repairman Jack,” I found over 52,700 references — that’s just plain crazy! To say RJ has gained cult status wouldn’t do him justice. RJ’s become his own subculture, complete with t-shirts, hats, and dare I say… Groupies?

My brother and I spent several hours creeping into the early morning thinking about which actors would best represent the movie. Here is a list that we would like to share and wondered what yours' and Mr. Wilson's thought may be.

There has been speculation that Ryan Reynolds might be Jack. We have also seen on forums that Mark Wahlberg might be a choice fans might like to see. He is average height, the right hair, a built body for the job and the perfect age. Mark would be a first choice for us.

That being said, here is the cast we have come up with. Check it out and let us know your thoughts or alternates you can think of. Thanks!

Jack: Mark Wahlberg

Gia: Ashley Scott with her "Into the Blue" movie hairdo

Abe: John Goodman

Julio: Benicio Del Toro

Kolibati: Aishwarya Rai or Priyakan Chopra

Kusum: Bikram Saluja or Abichek Bashan (Aishwarya's real husband) or Ajay Devgan

We aren't sure who would play Vicks just yet. She would need to be as distinguished of a little actress to match the part as we feel these people would. Let us know what you think!

I just completed the first, and only, season of Defying Gravity. It is not great TV but I was entertained throughout. It is essentially a soap opera set aboard a space ship that is undertaking a six year exploration of the solar system. The cast is solid, the writing smart and their is enough drama to make it worth a watch.

Now this one, I can't wait to see.

Have you ever wished you could watch a movie about an old tire that comes to life, develops telekinetic power and goes on a killing spree?

I just finished reading Sibs last night and I cannot fifure out how it relates to the secret history. I'm trying to read everything that relates to adversary cylce or repairman jack. Sibs seemed a little bit like Hosts, but that is the only connection I found. Someone that knows please elaborate.

I hate to lay this on you (not really). Don't watch this if you are easily offended. This is one of the funny-er things going around. It's got that catchy tune that get's stuck in your head. Oh, and it's not age appropriate, so wait til the kiddies are out of the room.

With Liam, I've discovered my inner Trekkie. I've always been mad about Capt. James Kirk, but watching the entire original series from start to finish has fueled the fire all the more.

I also love Monty Python. Combine Star Trek and Python and you get this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QSaM5gQ9vo
