B-Movies!!

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Shouting B-Movies isn’t as cool as shouting WOLVERINES!! but for today it’ll have to do.

My sister, Toni, sent me a link for the AMCTV B-Movies site and it is just chock full of delicious cheese.

Old Roger Corman flicks, Hercules sand and sandal epics, John Carpenter‘s cult fave Dark Star, biker movies and all sorts of really awfully wonderfully crappy drive-in movie fare.

It’s like I’m back in my youth and staying up to the wee hours on a school night just to watch old films on CKVR because my little hole of a town didn’t have a movie theatre.

That’s a long winded way of saying I’ve been busy trying to get the next episode of In Teh Toobs finished – almost done – while also trying to get the Ruffus site launched – not nearly as done as I like to be – while also trying to write a script for another project – I am so fucked on that one – and at the same time trying to write a couple of decent blog posts here that aren’t just lame ass pathetic embeds of somebody else’s cool videos cuz I’m too damned lazy to finish my own shit – guilty as charged – and on top of all that I had to throw together a quick collection of shows I’ve worked on for a possible show runner gig that – knowing my luck – will never see the light of day but I’m keeping my fingers crossed cuz I could use a paying gig right about now.

Okay?

Happy now?

No?

Okay – relax – sit back – get yerself some popcorn – and watch a very young Robert Vaughn in Roger Corman‘s 1958 classic Teenage Caveman.

Thanks, Toni!

I just blew off the rest of my afternoon.

Cheers.

Is – Is Epidemic – Plomomedia – Steve Thompson

As I get nearer to launching my other web endeavour and in the shadow of the debacle that obliterated my previous two years of blog postings I’ve been finding myself hard pressed to write or post anything that interests me enough to make the effort to thrust it before your eyes.

Thankfully there are plenty of other people out there in the interwebs pursuing their own personal passions and obsessions and one of these is Stephen Thompson with his web site Plomomedia, which he describes, accurately, as a collection of articulations in the photographic, moving, musical and literal.

He also does videos. Watch this one all the way through.

There’s a certain Ze Frank quality to Thompson’s thinking, presentation and interests. I’m not making a direct comparison – I’m just saying he’s doing some really neat shit with his articulations of the photographic, moving, musical and literal and it’s worth checking out.

Thanks for the content, Steve.

Cheers.
