When I look back on my favorite movies of this year, the two at the top of the list (Batman Begins and Sin City) are both based on comic books. Does this mean I’m a real geek for that sort of thing, or do comic books actually have quality stories to offer? Here’s a look […]

Every year I like to watch the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremonies on Bravo. I either missed the awards this year, or Bravo didn’t air them, so I tripped on over to Roger Ebert’s website to read his in-depth reports. Here are some of the movies he mentions that sound intriguing this year. Match Point […]

I’ve been riding a Bruce Campbell wave all week. I bought his new book a few days ago, read a great interview with him last night, and woke up to hear Brother Wease interview him on WCMF this morning.

Rochester jam band The Niche played a gig in Plattsburgh on Friday. My buddy Ryan DeClerck did a groovy Friday the 13th themed poster for the show. Just thought some folks would get a kick out of it, so I’m posting it here: For more of Ryan’s psychedelic artwork, visit http://www.aliencountry.org/

Nothing bleeds like a head wound. E.R. cranked up the ick-factor last night, perhaps to make up for the last two episodes, which were relatively bloodless. The gratuitous moment of the night involved a man, writhing in agony, who had some sort of accident with fire or chemicals or something. (That’s the sort of detail […]

Last week former Animatus intern and RIT student Jeremy Galante asked if he could interview me for a paper he’s writing. As someone who’s worked at an animation studio for several years, he wanted my thoughts on the state of 2D animation. I said sure, and he sent off a list of questions. It turned […]
