The Omega Man was a movie I loved as a kid.
When I watched The Omega Man years later I found it quite a bit dated. Still there’s no denying that The Omega Man laid the groundwork for apocalyptic movies. That alone makes The Omega Man worth a viewing.
Scott Collura’s Why We Love the Omega Man at IGN.com got me thinking about The Omega Man.
That amazing drawing of Sly as Jack Carter was created by artist extrodinaire, Hoyt Silva. I met Hoyt at Heroes Con and set up the take home commission.
Hoyt, in addition to being an amazing artist, has great communication and packages the art securely. I highly recommend Hoyt to all sketch collectors! – Craig
That’s the splash page to Darwyn Cooke’s first published comics work which appeared in DC’s Talent Showcase #19 in 1985.

How about a new poster and trailer for John Wick?
October is a great month for horror movie fans. So many horror/monster movies are shown it is almost impossible to keep up with them all.
Wouldn’t it be great if someone would compile a listing to simplify our lives?
Joe Reid did and The Atlantic published it – Behold, Every Horror On TV This October!
I thought that since today was Friday we needed a post that would take us into the weekend with a smile.
What better than a shot of Lee Marvin from Point Blank drawn by Darwyn Cooke?
Perhaps an even bigger version?

I like this poster for Jupiter Ascending. I think the movie is going to be a bit too far out there for me though.
If you’d like to see a Jupiter-size version of the poster, IMPAwards has it.
I’m not in love with this poster, but for some reason I like it better than I feel I should.
Maybe because that’s the feeling I have about the movie, John Wick. I’m going to like it better than I should.
Is that a bad thing?

With Halloween rapidly approaching it was a good time for Buzzfeed to post 10 Frightening Pre-Code Horror Movies You Need to Watch by Stacey Grant91.
I’ve seen seven of the ten, but that still leaves Dr. X, The Mask of Fu Manchu and Murders in the Zoo that I need to give a go.
I’ll bet Chris Mills and a few other regular readers have seen them all.
I was seven years old when The Monkees tv series premiered on September 12, 1966. I became an instant and life-long Monkees fan. I wasn’t alone.
The Monkees tv series won two Emmys (one for Outstanding Comedy Series – beating The Andy Griffith Show, Bewitched, Get Smart, and Hogan’s Heroes). In 1967, The Monkees had four albums hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (the only group to ever do that) and they outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined.
Obviously there were (and still are) quite a few Monkees‘ fans out there. If you’re one, you’ll want to check out Eddie Deezen‘s post Hey, Hey, We’re the Monkees at Neatorama.
