Robert Rodriguez on Directors, Movie Art and More

Recently Quint from AICN interviewed Robert Rodriguez about his Frazetta Gallery at SXSW.

So you’re probably wondering why the Drew Struzan First Blood  painting leads our post, right?  That’s because Robert Rodriguez owns the original and it is also on display at his Frazetta Gallery.  You can also see Frank Miller originals there too.

The interview covers a lot of ground and is more than worth a read!

“Angel is a Centerfold” by J. Geils Band

Midday Music Day 11. Angel is a Centerfold by J. Geils Band.

This song was never really a favorite.  Then last year we had to put down our dog, Bruiser, who was nearly 17 years old.  It was a tough time for me.  I got in the car to go to work the morning after and the first words on the radio were: “The memory of my angel could never cause me pain.”  For whatever reason that seemed like the words I needed to hear.  Anyway… on to the song.

Will “Lost in Space” Ever Get Its Props

Will Lost in Space Ever Get Its Props by Charlie Jane Anders is an interesting look back at one of my favorite shows when I was a little kid.

I think that one of the reasons that Lost In Space doesn’t get its props is that over the course of the series it just became too campy… although as Anders points out the Batman series was equally as campy and is now revered.  Perhaps the difference is that the Batman  series was always camp and Lost In Space slide down that slope after starting out as a more serious adventure series.
