Exciting news! I’ve (finally) arranged things so that you can order your favorites of the “B-Movies That Never Were” (I need to come up with a catchy catch-all brand name for them) directly from this website, with print-on-demand order fulfillment from ThePrintful.com. That means that even if you can’t come see me at local events…
Movies Seen Recently: Phantasm III, Finding Dory, 1776
Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994) – My love affair with Phantasm II has been well documented, so I won’t rehash that here. This installment, released six years after the last one, brings back original actor A. Michael Baldwin as Mike (after having been replaced by James Le Gros in Phantasm II), then promptly…
Movies Seen Recently: The Jungle Book, Bubba Ho-Tep, Phantasm
The Jungle Book (2016) – As is the Disney M.O. these days, this version of The Jungle Book is a live-action remake of their own 1967 animated feature, which was only only very loosely based on a 25-words-or-less summary of the Rudyard Kipling book. In other words, as far as this 2016 version is concerned,…
New B-Movie Poster: Rage of the Were-Piranha
Ta-dah! I’m behind on uploading these to the print-on-demand services that can give you a physical copy, but at least you know it exists!
The recent unpleasantness.
As has been my habit for the last several presidential elections, I made two graphics in reaction to the two possible outcomes of the election, only one of which ever sees the light of day. (Actually, in 2008, I only set about to make the graphics on Election Night itself, and victory was announced for…
Movies Seen Recently: Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United, Event Horizon, I Am Not a Serial Killer
Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United (2014) – I haven’t seen many of Marvel’s recent direct-to-video animated features, so I can’t say how this compares. I will say that the comic-influenced CGI in which it was produced is probably the best medium for a non-live-action, non-$200-million-blockbuster superhero movie — all of the exaggerations of…
New B-Movie Poster: Circus of the Living Dead
Fresh and new! I’ll have prints of this one, plus all the previous ones, at both Deadman’s Ball and Saturday Art Live.
Halloween Movie Marathon!
Owing to busy schedules (these things happen with a house full of teenagers), our traditional Halloween movie marathon had to be bumped from its normal slot on the Friday before Halloween to the week before that. Fortunately, my kids are all as eager for our marathon as I am, so we find ways to make…
Movies Seen Recently: Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, Sharknado, The Bourne Identity
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (2012) – For a cheapo Asylum mockbuster made to cash in on the release of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, this is actually a surprisingly sincere movie. Yes, the locations are all obviously historical landmarks with manicured grounds, but at least the production went to Savannah, Georgia, instead of sticking with the…
Upcoming Events
The rest of October has really filled up for me — and you can get your fill of Nathan at the same time! Friday, October 14th: I’ve been invited to perform again with the Freestyle Gargoyles, a cadre of musicians who provide improvised free jazz along with writers reading their short stories. (The last time…
