  • Mad Dog Movies Emporium

    Still looking for that perfect gift for your weird friend or relative? Today I’m launching the Mad Dog Movies Emporium, a video store powered by Amazon.com. Anyone can recommend something popular like Harry Potter or Star Wars, so I’m instead singling out movies made by people I know.  I’ll also be highlighting niche interests like […]

  • A Colossal Wrap-up

    It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I updated this blog. Why is that? Am I spreading myself too thin? Perhaps I need to pull some of my many projects into one place. (Perhaps I’ve already been doing that on Facebook?) Perhaps I need to rethink my blogs, podcast, and website and make them all […]

  • Wolfing Out: Halloween 2008

    My first experiment with spirit gum this year. People identified me as Teenwolf, Teenwolf 2, and Werewolf Groucho Marx. Personally, I was going for Paul Naschy, but I’ll take what I can get. Growl: Rawr! Mugshot:

  • A Plethora of Podcasts

    It’s time for an update on what I’ve been listening to. I started using Mypodder when I got bored with Itunes, but then I overloaded Mypodder. Now I’ve divided my feeds between the two aggregators, with Mypodder for my favorites and Itunes for video downloads and audio ones that update infrequently. Aside from using Mypodder […]

The first episodes of The Mad Dog Movie Podcast are online at http://www.maddogmovies.com/podcast The goal is to offer a behind-the-scenes look at independent filmmaking. We’ll talk about issues […]

  • Mad Dog Movies… the podcast?

    Now that I have a new MP3 player, I’ve been using www.podcastready.com for acquiring podcasts. (I’ve never liked the navigation in iTunes.) You can set up flash widgets there to display your subscribed podcasts and even record ones yourself, if you have a mic hooked to your computer. That, plus the Product of Circadia interview […]

  • Help name my VOD site

    I’m adding a vod section to my website, where I control the content (it won’t be interactive like YouTube). My model is sites like scifi.com/pulse, fear.net, and fangoria.tv. So instead of just calling it Mad Dog Movies VOD, I’d like to give it a clever moniker. Something like scifi’s “pulse.” I like “feed” but I […]

  • Big Fat Music Week

    My favorite way to listen to music is in a low-lit room, staring into space and contemplating my place in the universe. However, I sometimes get off my behind, leave the house, and actually go to a place where I can take in a live show. I stopped in to the East Ave. Record Archive […]

  • Too many Halloween photos

    How narcissistic can you get? Anyway, I love photoshop. Here I am in full silent movie mode. (Click the pics for a bigger view.)

  • Dave’s Underground

    Where do I go to find out about the “new” cult movies? Dave Davis over at CHUD does the research I don’t have the time for. Since I find CHUD’s method of archiving Dave’s Underground difficult to use, here’s a running index of the columns for easy access. May 2004 http://chud.com/davesunderground/1170 Dave digs deep in […]
