Maybe I can parley this entry into a career as a futurologist

Sorry, kids, that I haven't been very active here. Neither have I been active at my "Left-hand corner of the universe" blog ( Read more... )

Buckaroo Banzai" meets "Nanook of the North."

That so needs to be done.

Tell me about it!

Hey, it's good to hear from you. I hadn't written anything in so long that I thought that nobody would see it when I finally did.

Actually, I guess it would be more like "Sleeper" meets "Buckaroo Banzai" meets "Nanook!"

["Nanook!" is the Broadway version, just like "Oliver!" is the Broadway version of "Oliver Twist."]

I still need to see Sleeper badly, especially after everything I've heard about it.

Things are going well; I'm busy in law school, but that's about it.
Also, you should post more often ^_^.

I should do a lot of things besides sleep and eat ice cream, eh? But I'm behind on both, and someone here ate all the Moose Tracks before I even finished a third of the carton. Someone who won't ever read this, by the way ( ... )

While I have been fortunate enough to see Buckaroo (for the first time maybe two years ago), I have yet to see Six-String Samurai, which was the other movie my friends heavily pushed on me.

I never got too much into Woody Allen, but I keep meaning to change that. It's hard for me to separate his personal life from his artistic life.

Leviathan is wonderful. Let me know if you find any other good bits of his.

Peter Blegvad has at least two websites:
http://amateur.org.uk/ (uses both Flash and Shockwave)
http://leviathan.co.uk/

I can't remember if I first heard of him about him through finding his book Leviathan by chance or seeing hm mentioned on The Schramms' website:

I'm going to guess you've also heard of the cartoonist Seth. This is reminding me to track down the "Clyde Fans" stories that follow Book 1.

I just got a copy of Six-String Samurai from the library, but I haven't watched it yet. It looks like it might be something of a combination of Mad Max/Road Warrior, Blade Runner, and The Buddy Holly Story.

(Maybe I got this movie mashup habit from watching that film The Player.)
