Troy, Grimjack, Multiple Man (does whatever a Multiple can), and other stuff

[yendi]

Anyone else remember John M. Ford's story/poem, "Troy, the Movie"? Just wondering how faithful Peterson's adaptation of it was.

Grimjack is coming back! Between this and the return of American Flagg, this is a good year for old-school First fans. Keep your fingers crossed for a DVD of the Sable TV series.

(Um, just kidding. Good as the comic was, the series sucked ass).

And Peter David is writing a five-issue series called Madrox, also featuring PAD X-Factor alums Wolfsbane and Strong Guy! Alas, Joe Quesada (artist on PAD's original X-Factor run) won't be drawing it, but the guy they've got looks pretty talented.

Van Helsing is pretty much assured of breaking $100 Million now. Fuck you all.

In DVD news, we're getting a special edition of The Mangler, complete with unrated footage (ooh, who wants to see an evil possessed laundry machine with its clothes off?). We're also getting Season 1 of Land of the Lost, which sounds a lot more appealing.

Packing is going well. My ex-roomie's mom just moved down here, and he dropped off about fifty boxes yesterday, so we can hold off on scrounging for boxes for a while now.

Yesterday involved heading to Javamonkey with raptorgirl and angrvixen, where we hung out with lots of fun folks.

I'm very behind on email, and falling further behind each day. I owe a lot of you emails, and I'll get to them sometime this week. Work and a move make everything else really hard to find time for.

Although I did find time for last night's Deadwood. Damn, I like that show.

Oh wow. You mean you have Marshall, Will and Holly? On a routine expedition? I LOVED THAT SHOW!!! I can't wait till it's rentable!

Glad you are having fun. Good luck with the move!

I am so glad they've decided to do Land of the Lost as three separate box sets. I've been looking forward to this for so long.

Van Helsing makes a lot more sense when you see the animated prequel, IMO.

As a general rule, I don't feel much need to pay good money to have a bad film explained to me.

Strong Guy is back?

Great, I always thought they blew Guido off.

Where can John M. Ford's story/poem "Troy, the Movie" be found?

Van Helsing = Van Hellsuck.

Word! I *love* Jamie Maddrox. He and Guido always seemed like the perfect match to me. I miss that run of X-Factor...
