Roth is What Pitt is.

IMPAwards scored the first look at another “Inglorious Basterds” poster.  I’m really diggin’ these character posters.  Let’s hope the Tarantino film is as enjoyable.  See it in it’s full glory here.

Free Comic Book Day

Today is Free Comic Book Day.  Comic shops all over the country will be giving away free comics, having store signings with comic book writers and artists, offering big discounts on comic related items, having drawings, costume contests and all sorts of fun.  Although I love going to comic conventions, meeting artists and writers, and having all sorts of fun, I’ve never attended a FCBD event.  Today that changes.

The Queen and I have been up since 4:30am [had to drop my son & his girlfriend off at the Orlando airport] and have already driven well over 100 miles.  In an hour or so, we’re getting back on the road and heading down to Famous Faces & Funnies in West Melbourne, FloridaDerec Donovan and Karl Moline will be there sketching and signing autographs.  We’re going to check out the festivities [and maybe see about a Stallone sketch or two].

Then it’s back on the road and down to Collector’s Comics in Port St. Lucie, where my buddy, John Beatty will be sketching and defacing comics with his signature.  His lovely wife, Bella, will also be there and it will be a chance for her and the Queen to get together and compare notes.  Oh, and store owners Keith Mallow and Monica will be on hand to keep Beatty and I in line.  A good time for all is guaranteed.

Then the Queen and I will get back on the road to head for home.  If we time it right a dinner a Dixie Crossroads is in the plans.  Yeah, this looks to be a great day.

CultRetro Goes Live

That’s me lookin’ shocked.  You would be too if a giant woman was about to stomp you.  Don’t worry, you’ll understand in a second.

My buddy, Wild Bill Black, has put together a very hip website called CultRetro to showcase his movies.  In addition to the 75 or so dvd movies that he has available for immediate purchase, there are also downloadable films, video production blogs and more.  If you’re into vampires, monsters, horror hosts, rocket men, detectives, giant women, and, well you get the idea, then check out CultRetro.

If you’re still not convinced, then check out this extended trailer.  Not only will you get a better feel for what CultRetro is all about, but you also understand why I was about to get stomped.
