I have this idea for a story. In the 1940's, a hack writer having trouble selling his routine air war stories suddenly brings to his editor a real page-turner about an American flying ace fighting a future war against an Islamic empire called the Caliphate. But what could account for the former hack's seemingly improved writing ability?

After Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, I was driving home in the pouring rain and--wouldn't you know it--my windshield wipers broke. So I drove around, unable to see, trying to find an open gas station. I managed to get to a 7-11 and the people that worked there let me call AAA. I don't have a cell phone and, as I discovered, there are no...

Just saw the banner ad at the top of the page for "Faster, Pussycat! Kill!Kill!" on TCM at 2 a.m. tonight. It's a classic Russ Meyer film, filled with action, adventure and, of course, boobs. Most guys are probably attracted to Tura Satana and the other bad girls in the film. Me, I'm drawn to the good girl--and love of my life--Sue Bernard. Playmate data...

I love B grade horror films, especially Italian ones. But Russ is totally one of the Kings!

It does seem like you need to have some major age and/or diseases to win a lifetime achievement award in Oscarland 
The Mets fell short this year in their pursuit of the world championship. Wait till next year!
The Mets won game 6 of the NLCS. Just one more victory to win the penant and move on to the World Series!
Anyone heard about the CSI New York with the Suicide Girls storyline? In the Wednesday, October 18 episode, the CSI team investigate the murder of an Suicide Girl following an SG burlesque show. Here's a link to the CBS web site in case you want to check out the promo. CBS

Thanks for the heads-up. I will check it out.

(The "pulp fiction" group, I mean.)
I'm considering starting a group devoted to pulp fiction--not the Tarantino movie, but the type of stories that originally appeared in the 20's through 50's in such magazines as Argosy, Weird Tales and Black Mask. Discussions will be open to all genres appearing in those mags (horror, science fiction, detective stories, westerns, sword and sorcery, etc.) and to the works of such great pulp writers...

Rented Brides of Dracula yet?
Great idea for the group... I'm afraid I'll learn more than I can offer but that would be great too... I've never checked out anything but pulp noir. Got a logo yet?
I drove to my alma mater the other day and delivered the professor I dedicated it to a copy of the book. I don't think I've ever known anyone so appreciative of a gesture of adoration. Between your tenacity to get the book and his thankfulness I feel a success if it doesn't do anymore than it has. So, thanks. He's going to offer feedback and show it to the chair of the Humantities dept. Maybe something could come from that.

I'm on a Spaghetti Western kick. Of the pictures I've seen recently, Sergio Corbucci''s "Django" really sticks in my mind: Django (Franco Nero) traveling around dragging a coffin behind him, the ubiquitous mud, the quicksand, the infamous ear cutting scene--much more graphic than the one in "Reservoir Dogs."

Hope the book arrives soon. Sorry you had such a time receiving it.

Someone actually beats out Eli Wallach as the best non-Mexican Mexican?! I never grew beyond Eastwood's offerings.
Thank God a book finally arrived! Enjoy at your leisure and offer your feedback.

They won again, wtih Beltran hitting a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th. That puts the Mets 28 games over 500.! And to think people were surprised last year when they eked out a winning record.
For me, though, 2005 was like 1968, the year the Mets showed improvement, acquired some new talent (e.g. Tommy Agee, Tom Seaver the year before ) and...

Thank you for the sweet comment on my set

that's starting to sound fishy.
At least two people have ordered and already received. Even Amazon is saying it ships in 2-4 business DAYS.
Let me know what happens so I can address the issue if need be.

Arthur Lee died this summer. So did Mickey Spillane. My heroes are dropping like flies. At least, Sam the Sham is still alive.
I found out about Arthur Lee's death from an SG post that had a link to YouTube, which had clips of Arthur with both the original Love and with a recent touring group. I'd never been to this web site before, but...
