Wow...Death really comes at ya huh...

First We Lost Stan Winston, A Legend in Special Effects

And now...we lose George Carlin, A Legend Of Comedy I mean if it wasn't for Carlin, the world of Entertainment would be a very different place...

I got to see him in concert at Atlantic City a few years ago, wow maybe 10 yrs now. He was great....An older couple got up and walked out. Pure Comedy Genius....I dont really follow comedians that much but I think Carlin is up there in my top 5...Actually yeah he is...

1) Richard Pryor
2) George Carlin
3) Eddie Murphy
4) Chris Rock

Another Legend gone.... *shakes head sadly*

Onto somewhat more upbeat stuff...

Well I went to the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors this past Weekend... I must admit, Fango and Creation Entertainment(they do the Trek Cons) are way more organized then Monstermania or even Chiller...

I went for the 40th Anniversary of Night of the Living Dead. Its sooo refreshing meeting people who are not ashamed of being in a horror film...of course I got to meet George himself...Wowwowowowowow. I dont care what you people who love fast zombies say...SLOW AND STEADY THE COURSE....Way more scarier.... Like people who liked New Coke over Classic... *shrug* just don't get that...

Angus Scrimm was there(Tall Man from Phantasm) and Ray Wise(Twin Peaks, Reaper) was there as well. I saw Misty Mundae. I am disappointed in the dealers room....was highly lacking....but apparently they are moving into the Jacob Javitz Center in NYC next year... Alot of indie Horror companies there as well...their models passing out stickers and posters and postcards for their films...Alot of scantily clad stuff...

There were also auctioning off their banners with the Celebs and their character and autographed....I bid on the Robert Englund Fred Krueger one(great image). And Ray Wise as the Devil From Reaper....I didnt want to go over 60 bucks(i've spent so much money this weekend its unbelievable).

I've been to alot of Fandom Events(Comics, Sci Fi, Star Wars, Horror)Horror has the most eclectic group of fans and some of the hottest ones. Now true I havent been to Anime or even San Diego Comic Con so this is just my opinion just far...I so wanna make a film about Fandom...

I watched two of the 8 Films to Die For: The Abandoned(wasn't too bad), Penny Dreadful(eh didnt like it). I also watched Eastern Promises(loved Viggo in it). That's definitely a keeper....in my Horror Viewing Class we watched Frankenstein Created Woman with Peter Cushing....I really like Cushing...I think I like him more as Frankenstein then Grand Moff Tarkin...

My 30gig Ipod died(R.I.P. SOUNDBLASTER)....SUCKED!!! It wasn't bad...I was more pissed because there was a playlist i havent printed out in months and to reconstruct it took too long(a full day friday and Most of Saturday). So Now I got an 80gig IPOD(Soundwave ver. 2.0..i mean I'll never name it Blaster...come on)...Then my laptop started going all wonky(R2's memory is giving me problems...yes I name my laptops R2...he's never failed me b4 and won't fail me now...)

I know that was geeky and I apologize(cause you know some people dont like geek talk) but that's who I am...

Going to the Bryant Park Film Fest tonight if it doesn't rain....

That is all
