    The Movie and TV Show Idea Thread

    Here are some ideas I came up with; I even cast them. THE CORPORATIONIST (1978) Directed by Werner Herzog. In Bonn, Germany an office building worker (Bruno Ganz) begins having vivid hallucinations of a chalk-skinned man in a suit (Max Von Sydow) after orange formica and faux-wood paneling...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Jonathan Frid , the original Barnabus Collins, has died. As bad as that remake looks, I don't think it killed him. However, knowing his connection to that character, I think he'll be back.

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    With my recent acquisition of Enemy Ace DC Archives Vol. 2, my interest in Joe Kubert and Bob Kanigher has been revitalized. Joe Kubert's art is cinematic in its approach, as seen in Showcase #57 (1965)

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. I bought this for my wife this past Christmas, because she's become such a huge Dr. Who fan (Adams was script editor during season 17), despite hating it when she was a child. This book is every bit as brilliant as many say it...

    A Day with Picasso by Billy Klüver The author retraces the steps of Picasso and his fellow art cronies on August 12, 1916 using fine detective work based on 24 photographs taken by Jean Cocteau. The most interesting aspect of the book is how Klüver chronicles the art scene of the period and...

    I first heard of Klee around 1994-95 when I read the classic 1960 Downbeat profile of pianist Bill Evans: "[Evans'] clothes are just about what's in fashion, he shaves every morning, and his Manhattan apartment is an ordinary three-room affair. A bed, a few chairs, and a kitchen table is the...

    Paul Klee- (Southern) Tunisian Gardens, 1919 I love his epitaph: "I cannot be understood at all on this earth. For I live as much with the dead as with the unborn. Somewhat closer to the heart of creation than usual. But not nearly close enough."

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    Something my fellow comic readers will love... Comic Book Time Machine Select a month, year, and comics company to see all the issues published during that month. Keep in mind that the COVER date is often three months ahead of the CALENDAR date. So if you look up August 1975 by cover dates...

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    That issue holds some nostalgia for me, as it was among the first books I bought "off the wall" behind the counter at the comic shop. I wasn't an X-Men reader when the issue was first published, so I had to scrape together allowance for quite some time to pay the $6.00 or whatever I paid for it...

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    I was mostly a Cracked reader in the late '70s, primarily due to the John Severin (who died back in February) artwork, but I later came to prefer Mad in a big way. Dave Berg was criminally underrated; I love his stuff. I have a few beat-up issues of both mags lying around.

    Beloved Comic Books--The Uncanny X-Men

    After a seven-year hiatus, DC will finally continue publishing its Sgt. Rock series of its DC Archives series. Volume four's not due out until late September, so in the meantime I'm catching up with my admittedly massive DC "Battle Book" collection, as well as the existing three volumes of the...

    Dread & Superficiality: Woody Allen as Comic Strip by Stuart Hample. Reading this is part nostalgia in that I vividly recall reading it in my local newspaper circa 1979-80. Reading it now, it's oddly comforting, charming, and very much in the Woody mold, albeit with a comic strip gloss...

    Portrait of the Artist as a Young Amnesiac Dept. Okay, so the Van Gogh postcard book I had years ago arrived and the "mystery" painting is NOT in it. However, I believe I've somehow blended a few favorite works of his and come up with my composite memory: the aforementioned Peach Tree in...

    The color scheme is similar to his Peach Tree in Blossom from Van Gogh's Arles period (1888-89), but despite trawling the "Internets" and numerous art books, I've yet to turn up the one I'm looking for. I'll continue the search, you guys and gals just keep posting your favorite paintings...
