No foolin'

I hope you don't mind, but I haven't really been up to very much lately. Let's see...

You know, I was worried that Black Dynamite would never live up to the unbelievable expectations laid by the trailer:





But I'm happy to report that it does, in most ways. I'm glad the trailer didn't showcase any of the final fight scene. Against Richard Nixon. With nunchuks.

It's pretty cool.

I also watched World's Greatest Dad today, which is easily one of the darkest comedies I've ever seen. Very brilliant. Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, of all people. It's got what has to be my favorite Robin Williams role.

I started getting into tennis, a bit. Not really playing the game, per se, more like just hitting the ball back and forth. It's a good workout, and you meet some interesting people sometimes...

I bought a suit jacket and a nice pair of brown dress shoes at Goodwill for rock-bottom prices. So that's good. I'm no closer to my ultimate dream of owning a tailored suit, but at least my style points have gone up.

As long as I'm talking about movies and trailers and such, don't tell me you ignored my suggestion and haven't yet seen the teaser trailer for Edgar Wright's next film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.




I've watched it so many times I can play it in my head. And it keeps gettin' funnier, every single time I see it!

Don't forget, I've got all five of the comics, and they're sheer brilliance, and if you want them it's as easy as asking me to send them to you.

I'm part of a super-awesome project that involves making a movie! We start production at the end of the month, assuming everything goes to plan. No, it's not my project, I'm just happy to be a part of it. It's getting to be that ultra-exciting anticipatory period, which takes place before the physically- and emotionally-exhausting period of actual production. Plus it's an out-of-state production! Come on, that just screams "production value." It's like, we couldn't find what we needed in this rathole, so we went elsewhere.

I'll try to keep you all (Bob) filled in on the production status.
