Taking a Break w/ Heroes
Man, have things been hectic around the Zablo homestead the last couple of weeks. With the end of the school year, some major home remodeling and other stuff, there just haven’t been enough hours in the days… or weeks.
But we’re all about to take a bit of a break, so I’ll be off the boards and internet for awhile. We’re going to get away for some time with family and friends that we haven’t seen in a while. That’s going to be great!
I’ll post the next SZ and ZONE updates when I get back on the 14th or 15th at the latest. But never fear, Jazzman and Big Beatty are on standby and if any Stallone news breaks they’ll post it on the message board.
Talk to you again when I return!
Femforce Animation
My longtime buddy, Bill Black, [publisher, editor, artist, writer, and chief bottle washer of AC comics] sent word that Paul Monsky has been spearheading a brief FEMFORCE animation piece by Shawn Van Briesen.
I thought that
you all might get a kick out of seeing it.I did.
A Lot About Salem’s Lot
It’s probably second only to King’s The Stand. Stephen King has written some of the scariest and without a doubt most popular horror fiction ever. The sad thing is, as good as his books have been, most of the movies made from them have been mediocre at best.
That’s why I was pretty excited when TNT announced that there would be a new Salem’s Lot mini-series. This would be the second time that Salem’s Lot would be turned into a tv production. The first time was in the late 70’s and starred David Soul and James Mason. And it was actually pretty good.
When the cast [Rob Lowe, Rutgar Hauer, Donald Sutherland and James Cromwell] for the re-make was announced things continues to look rosy. Then publicity stills began to be released and they looked pretty cool.
Things were all seeming to come together positively well… until I read Quint’s review today.
But you know me… I’ll still tune in and check it out for myself. Hopefully I’ll like it better than Quint, but if not I can still go back and re-read the novel.

Collatoral a Hit?
The trailer for Michael Mann and Tom Cruise’s Collatoral is now on-line. Mann and Cruise have individually done some very good films. Movies like Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Top Gun and Mission Impossible II. But they’ve also had some misses Ali and Eyes Wide Shut.I’m hoping that Collatoral will be a hit, but I’m not sold on it yet… even after seeing the trailer.
