And the wheel continues to turn...
THE RESURRECTION GAME novelization is now available to order through Amazon.com. Which is nice. I've managed to persuade all of one Barnes and Noble brick-and-mortar store to carry the book as well. The others claim they can't get it, can't order it, we don't carry books anyway, books? What are those? Which is fine too. Incredibly Strange Video and Phantom of the Attic will both have books on hand for consignment purchase, and the Pittsburgh Comicon is coming up at the end of April, so I should be able to get a couple out there. Maybe even raise enough money so that SOMEONE will get to see the movie someday. (It's currently in the hands of Alpine Pictures who said the magic words: "If we like it, we'll pick up the costs of post-production." I asked them to say it again.)
Everyone should rush over to The Spook and check it out. It's a free monthly online magazine that has invited me to contribute to in the coming months. The magazine is very cool and I can't wait to get started. The best way I've been able to describe it is "The Horror Fan's New Yorker", but it's more than that. It's one of those publications that make you feel as if you're part of a special club by reading it. You're one of the happy few. Happy few hundred-thousand readers, but still...
I have been invited to do an interview with Neil Gaiman for the upcoming World Horror Convention 2002. The convention overseers want a piece to put in their convention program, which I'm only too thrilled to do. Neil's in hiding right now, to do some writing, but I'll get to talk to him sometime before the WHC deadline. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm counting the days, minutes and seconds until this happens. I don't often get to talk to one of my personal deities. Neil has his own Blogger at Neil Gaiman.com and everyone should go and read the wonderfulness that is Neil's work. I rather like his stuff, you see...
Chuck Jones died last week. Kevin Smith is still alive. The wheel continues to turn...
Another link for everyone - go check out Amy Lynn Best's Official Homepage. She's the co-star and co-producer of THE RESURRECTION GAME and has a really cool site. Sign her guestbook too. She'd like that.
The new Femme Fatales is on the stands. It's an all-comics/artists issue and features interviews with Joe Jusko, Julie Bell, Richard Moore, Jeff Pitarrelli, Trina Robbins and a long piece on the Women of Marvel Comics. It's gorgeous and happens to be flying off the shelves. It's in such demand that I didn't get a copy and I wrote two-thirds of the thing!
Finally, check out: DebbieRochon.com's official message board. It's the place to go if you like and want to talk about independent movies. Lots of cool people on there, not just me. Debbie herself moderates the proceedings, so how can you go wrong there?
