MarCon Schedule (Tentative)

Things have been shifting down in Columbus. Here's what it looks like I've got:

• Friday 9:00 pm -- RELEASE PARTY for The Last Hero On Earth (room number TBA)
• Saturday 1:00 pm -- Concert (probably down in one of the ballrooms)
• Saturday 8:30 pm -- Cynthia McQuillin tribute (probably down in Room E)

Several parts of this are potentially subject to change. Except for the release party, 'cause I'll finally have the darn CDs in hand WHOO HOO!

Flop of the Meatloaf

That was how my old friend Peter Christian used to refer to the 1980 Harryhausen film Clash of the Titans. I think the flick is a lot of fun myself, although with a fairly dumb script and a few scenes too derivative from Harryhausen's earlier works.

Why should anyone care? Because, for reasons which escape me completely, they're going to remake it.

Okay, which lame-to-okay SF/fantasy film would you like to write a new script for? Can't be a good one -- no reason, for instance, to update The Day The Earth Stood Still besides minting new money. I mean a movie that really could use a decent buff-and-wax job. Besides the fact that I'm actually working on Manos: The Musical of Fate, I'd happily take a crack at an update of Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster.
