St. Louis’ The Fabulous Fox celebrates 75th Birthday Oh, man! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this until just today! This event is so tailor-made for me! We can only hope the Loews Jersey has a similar event for its 75th Anniversary this September. *sigh* I sure wish I could be in St. Louis [...]

Man, have I just had the experience of a lifetime! After years and years of festival programmer Mitch Davis hoping I would make it up, I finally made the trip to Montreal, mostly due to being involved with releasing Battlefield Baseball and promoting Living Hell, and boy was it worth it.

Boy, moviegoers really were treated very well for some years in the early part of the 20th century. The Loews Jersey opened September 28, 1929 as a grand movie palace. The whole idea of these enormous [...]

London – Paris — 1st report – 8:10 UK time I wish I could type more but I’m on a French keyboard and it’s a bit awkward finding the keys. John and I spent a week in London doing quite a few tourist things, saw three plays, met a few British actors, and spent way [...]

SHADE, the movie Luckily Sylvester Stallone’s character is not named Shade, but his new film is. They’re of course referring to some sort of sleighthand in card playing, though I’m sure the posters around the world will have a few people thinking of me, and it’s nice to be thought of!
