“Hey Craig, do you think Cymberline will be any good?”
I don’t know. What’s Cymberline about?
“Kings. Queens. Soldiers. Bikers. War.”
Ok, you’ve got my interest. Tell me more.
“It’s an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play Cymberline.”
Huh? Really? Ok. It has a good cast. Let’s see the trailer.
So you’re at a yard sale and you come across a painting. Is it worth millions… or something you’d expect to find?
I scored 11 out of 15 on Buzzfeed’s Can You Distinguish Between Multi-Million Dollar Art and Art Found at a Yard Sale.
Can you do better?
Did you catch this interview with Frank Darabont by AJ Marechal that ran in Variety? Darabont talks about his departure from The Walking Dead and how it led to Mob City.
I’m a Darabont fan and hope that Mob City kills it in ratings. I have no doubt that critics will dig it.
If you’ve wondered what all the hype about Batman ’66 is, you can get a five page preview at Newsarama.
It’s been a while since we had a Three Stooges post. Thankfully, The Bristol Board recently shared a gallery of The Three Stooges photo covers, published mid-late ’60s by Dell and Gold Key.
Today is Thanksgiving and many of us will come together with family and friends to pause and give thanks for what we have and perhaps what we’ve been spared. Charles Dickens may have said it best…
Of course not everyone gives thanks. The Sexy Pilgrim doesn’t. Instead he says, “You’re welcome.”
I hope that you and yours have one of the best Thanksgiving Days ever. Count your blessings, eat too much turkey, ignore that family member who irritates you, make big plans, eat too much pie, doze in front of the tube, have a bit more turkey, and remember to watch a bit of the parade and some football!
73 years ago today, Bruce Lee was born… and the world was better for it.

If you’re a sketch or sketchcard collector, then you’re going to love this. My buddy, Mike Torrance has announced his annual Black Friday Sale where he has cut his prices in half… for a limited time.
Check out the cards Mike has created for me!
Here’s Mike’s site.
I’d write more, but I need to get my orders in before the crowd.
From the moment I saw Nick Fury in his flying car, I knew that I wanted one. The question then became would I live long enough to see flying cars used by regular folks regularly.
According to this article there is hope that I just might.

What is the furthest one human being has ever been from every other living person?
That’s an interesting question. My first thought was, it had to be an astronaut. Although that’s probably the right answer, it may not be! It’s definitely not the only reasonable answer.
Randall Monroe explains why when he answers Bryan J. McCarter’s question in Monroe’s weekly blog, What If?
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he’s brought Sly and the cast of Demolition Man with him! Mike often surprises me with his commissions. Sometimes it is an extra character, placing Sly in a role you wouldn’t expect or upgrading a sketch card to include the entire major players.
You can see more of Mike’s art at his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable. I’m ready to order a new batch… perhaps he’ll have a Black Friday sale. ; )
For their 300th issue Shortlist.com came up with an idea to challenge their favorite writers. The writers were asked to come up with an original noir story that was exactly 300 words long.
Frank Bill, George Pelecanos, James Sallis and over a dozen other writers met the challenge. My favorite of the bunch was Joe R. Lansdale’s “Hit Call.” That doesn’t come as a surprise since Lansdale’s writing always entertains.
Schwarzenegger is back!
I know. I know.
You’ve heard that before. But believe me, Arnold is back this time. Check out this trailer to Sabotage.
Sabotage looks good, doesn’t it? That’s one of the reasons I think it’s safe to say, “Arnold is back.”
Another reason is that Sabotage is not a typical Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Sabotage has an ensemble cast. Take Arnold out and the movie would still be one fans would want to see since it looks like a good action film.
David Ayer Sabotage. Ayer was the screenwriter on Training Day, Harsh Times and End of Watch.
Ayer also directs Sabotage . This isn’t Ayer’s first directing rodeo. He also helmed Street Kings, Harsh Times and End of Watch. Ayer creates a gritty sense of realism that most Hollywood action movies miss.
Yeah, we’re in for a great ride with Sabotage. Arnold will, in Sabotage, keep the promise he made in The Terminator. He’s back, baby!
