They spooled COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER on TCM last night. I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, and it's still pretty good. CMD is a rags-to-riches movie or fan-to-fame-to-fall-from-grace and back again, and I love that kind of movie. CMD is a biographical flick about The First Lady of Country Music, Loretta Lynn. So as a bonus we get some damn good music from Loretta and Ernest Tub and Patsy Cline. And I've realized that this is the punkest movie I've ever seen, short of REPO MAN.

Why? Lemme explain. As much as this is a movie about Loretta Lynn, it's as much about her husband Doolittle Lynn. The first reel of the movie is about Doolittle and Loretta meeting and getting married and is all set up for the second reel. The second reel is the heart of the movie, at least for me.

The second act is pure DIY punk ethos on Doolittle's part. Instead of buying Loretta a wedding ring Doolittle gives her a guitar. Loretty learns to play the guitar. So Doolittle takes her to a Honky Tonk where he convinces the house band to let Loretta play. Soon Loretta writes her first song. So Doolittle takes her to a small recording studio and has Loretta recorded. And like something straight outta BOOK YER OWN FCKIN LIFE Doolittle makes his own 8 by 10 glossy of Loretta and is staying up all night typing up press releases and mailing 45's to country radio stations everywhere. And then Doolittle takes Loretta from radio station to radio station getting her on the air and getting the 45 played.

All this do-it-yourself promotion gets Loretta to number 14 on charts. And when Doolittle finds out that Loretta's got a hit the first thing he does is drive her to The Grand Ole Opry. And it's a Cinderella moment when Ernest Tubs introduces Loretta on the Opry. And it's punk as fck.

It's all up and down and uphill from there. We go from Loretta meeting Patsy Cline (in a wonderful scene where Loretta is taken to Patsy's hospital room and has a great fangirl moment while Patsy Cline sits in a hospital bed with two black eyes, her head wrapped in gauze and sipping beer through a straw.) to Loretta's big hair and satin lace dresses period to her mental breakdown on stage and back again. Roll the credits. If only Loretta had flared out in a fury of self destruction it'd be the perfect ending. As it is, it's still a pretty damn good movie.

And punk as fck.

It'll take time to chisel and heat up the car to get home now. Crap. Should've stayed in bed.

Faking the format 12:17 PM

Made some headway making subtitled DVDs. Turns out WinAVI actually makes hardsubbed DVD files. So I was making more work for myself by making hardsubs and then authoring DVD files. Of course this could've all been bypassed if I could figure out why I can't get DVDFlick to work. I thought I'd be able to author on Renderfarm, but it choked. I have no idea why. Maybe if I could find an earlier version of DVDFlick It would work, again. I still do not understand why it worked once, and then never again. Phase of the moon...

Time seems to be moving very slowly today. Perception of time. Weird.

UPDATE: Found the SourceForge page for DVDFLick and previous release files. Will attempt to make DVDs with selectable subs tonight!

DanimeHELL 11:59 AM

RSVP'd for Saturday's party. It should be fun. I'll be doing a mini OtakuHELL at Josh and Micheal's. I'll get to goof around and show stuff I normally don't show. Which makes me think I should do a little prep work, get a few disks ready for the deal. Maybe even a new eye-catch. Can't hurt. Something like, "Danno's 40th Birthday Extravaganza!" or "Spectacular!" It'll be a good excuse to rebuild the 200 and Halcali discs, too.

Perfectly Good Guitar

Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs
Beautiful women were standing everywhere
They all got wet when he smashed that thing
But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

Chorus:
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don't know who they think they are
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

It started back in 1963
His momma wouldn't buy him
That new red harmony
He settled for a sunburst with a crack
But hes still trying to break his mommas back

Chorus

He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
But ever good thing comes to an end
Now he just sits in his room all day
Whistling every note he used to play

There out to be a law with no bail
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance for early parole
You don't get out till you get some soul

Chorus

Late at night the end of the road
He wished he still had the old guitar to hold
Hed rock it like a baby in his arms
Never let it come to any harm

Chorus

Almost there 12:08 PM

Chad just sent me an Amazon gift certificate for my birthday. So it won't be long now. I'll be old.

Watched Eurythmics Greatest Hits DVD before turning in last night. Video is a dodgy medium. Some good, some bad. But the music was good. The two videos for the 1984 movie were interesting. Couldn't get those songs outta my head...

Death by Magic 9:28 AM

Watched this documentary miniseries on stage magic, and it's ok. The most informative episode was the last, DEATH BY MAGIC. Lots of tales of escapes gone wrong and the deadliest of all magic gags the bullet catch. Turns out even Houdini did a take on the ol' bullet catch gag, until the head of the magic society straightens him out. Worth renting, but not buying...

Needs more monkeys 10:29 AM

I'd wanted to get a copy of CHINESE GODS for a few years. And I found this DVD while scanning the children's video section of Half Price. Which is probably not the group that'd enjoy this animated feature film for what it is. That's if you don't count showing this at a party while taking massive bong hits. Made in mainland China I'm certain that I'm not the intended audience for this movie. This is a mess of a movie with wild imagery and references to Bruce Lee. It's stupid goofy, making you think it's for kids, until people start getting stuck with spears and things get bloody. I'll have to watch it again and see if anything could be used for HELL. In the meantime I'm gonna enjoy some Alakazam the Great. Now there's a movie.

Kill or be Art 9:08 AM

I had only heard of BUDO - THE ART OF KILLING as a rare mondo movie. So when I saw a used copy on the shelf at Half Price I was interested, but cautious. Mondo movies can be a mixed lot. Sometimes you get Mondo Cane, sometimes you get Faces of Death. And I was really hoping that BUDO wasn't going to be the latter. In fact it's a shining example of the right way to do Mondo.

Filmed at the height of the martial arts wave started by Bruce Lee, BUDO is a pretty straight forward catalog of Japanese martial arts. Judo, kendo, karate, and more. And above all BUDO shows all the work that goes into mastering these martial arts. Hell, I got tired just watching these poor bastards beat the crap outta each other. This movie may not be for all people, but I think most folks would find it interesting and informative. But you could say the same about any well made documentary.

The Indian Rope Trick 11:42 AM

I picked this DVD up at Half Price Books on Saturday. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a good buy. Penn & Teller's Magic and Mystery Tour is a CBC Documentary Miniseries made up of three episodes each devoted to the street magic of three different countries. I followed the DVD menu and watched each program in order, first reading the liner notes which added a nice background to the adventure. And it's a mad adventure.

We start in China, where everything seems to be in contradictory. Magicians are a suspicious lot in Communist China. Yet there is a state run Magic theme park that stands empty. I thought there would be problems with the Chinese government but it pales next to the buracracy in the next episode in Egypt. Armed soldiers are everywhere and many things can't be filmed. Scary stuff. But the icing on the cake is the final episode in India. Blood is every where. The back streets of India are a place of dreams and horror and humanity. I had to turn away a few times, it was that brutal. Oddly enough, the Wild Men gag involving two geeks ripping chickens to shreds with their teeth didn't bother me at all, it made me think of Memiors of a Sword Swallower. I need to read that book again.

The search for the Indian Rope Trick is one of those great mysteries that can't be solved and Penn and Teller's quest is the highlight of the DVD. Their interaction with the street magicians shows the knowledge of magic and the respect between these magicians as they trade props and tools with each other beyond the limits of language. Slight of hand and misdirection is a universal tongue. Who could guess?

This is a great DVD and I'd recommend it to everybody. Rent it if you can!

Thunder Suite 12:39 PM

It was a grey sky weekend. Finally the clouds opened up sundown Sunday. I still haven't gotten used to the thunderstorms in Texas. The lightening strikes here are like cannon shots. Every time I drifted off to sleep to the sound of the rain I'd be jolted awake by a barrage of thunder. This went on all night long. I didn't really get much sleep. So, I'm kind of dragging today.

Did some work on the NaNoMango comic over the weekend. Made a visit to Half Price both Saturday and Sunday and found some good stuff that I'll review over the week. Watched the second episode of Torchwood (which wasn't as good as the first,) and then remembered Nodame Cantobile. I made a DVD of the first episode for Bruce and Mundee and watched it Sunday night. A very nice adaptation of the manga, and I'm looking forward to the next episode. I think this show would do really well here in the states. But I could be wrong.

National Graphic Novel Writing Month? 12:25 PM

It's November and I'm already behind on the whole Na-No-Wri-Mo thing. I should be cranking out the second page of a comic, any comic, for the project. But I'm still deciding on what I want to do. 30 days, 30 pages. Should be simple, right? Gah. What will it be? Something funny, cartoony? Maybe a parody? I was thinking about doing that Tsutomu Miyazaki bio-comic. Or maybe something else...

Play Quicktime version

vPIP works very well with Quicktime. I haven't tried it with SWF, yet. The reason that this Quicktime file has no sound is that for some reason my copy of Quicktime Pro won't let me export to Quicktime with sound. WTF? I don't want to drop another $30 for the latest version of Quicktime Pro! Crap.

UPDATE: No need for spending cash on Quicktime Pro. SUPER! does the job. Well, it works on the Averatec. For some reason I get an error on Accounting One.

"I got a rock..." 10:11 AM

I lit the torches on the walk and had The Great Ed Pumpkin on fire and set up the night cam to capture the Trick or Treaters and I got a sum total of 3. One Skeleton and two witches.

I finally gave up around 8pm.

The problem as I see it is that the Edstead is at the end of a Dead End street. And as I looked around last night, Casa de Ed was the only house passing out candy. All the houses up the street were tightly shuttered and blacked out. So anybody casually looking down West Tucker BLVD would assume there was no point to hike all the way down to where I was waiting with buckets of candy.

So, to those three kids who did ring the doorbell, you roxxor. Thanks. Next year I'll just hang out at Bruce and Mundees where the real action was last night.

-danno!

Halloween is here 9:43 AM

How will I spend Halloween? Sitting in the front room watching scary movies and waiting for the Trick or Treaters. I'm thinking about setting up the night cam and recording who comes to the door. It'd be good practice for actually recording a HELLshow some day. I'll need to figure out some way to set up the camera and the recorder and a monitor, but it should work.

Halloween Eve 9:35 AM

Tomorrow is Halloween, and I'm enjoying the season. Saturday night was the annual party at Scott's and we all went and drank and mingled. It was fun. Sunday night was carving pumpkins at Bruce and Mundee's, but I was falling asleep. Ah well, it happens.

I need to buy some candy for tomorrow. Maybe a trip to Target tonight?

Made a DVD of TORCHWOOD episodes one and two and will be dropping off the disc at Joshua's house tonight. No other plans beyond that, at least right now.

Saw the last reel of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 Friday night? This induced a dream of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES but instead of Uncle Jed and Granny and Jethro it was Leather Face and the Hitchhiker and the Cook. Mr. Drisdale and Ms. Hathaway spent the whole show hiding bodies. There's a minicomic in there someplace.

Oh, and I was horrified to find out that CHAINSAW 2 was a Golan-Globus production...

Dracula: Terror in the Snow! 9:09 AM

powered by ODEO

Monsterfest had HELLBLAZER on last night, so I skipped it. A neat idea, but it's a bit slow and very VERY 80s.

In fact I don't remember what I watched last night, other then FASTER PUSSYCAT, KILL KILL. I got home late and by the time I thought about eating supper it was even later. Crap. So much for that. There's goodness on TCM tonight, so I'll have loads to watch over the weekend. I think tonight's theme is ZOMBIES! Bring on the Scamblers!

Halloween toss off 11:40 AM

I couldn't watch the whole movie.

AMC showed HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION last night as part of their Monsterfest programming. I understand this is the follow up movie to H20, which I hear is a good movie. Unlike this one.

I got interested when I saw Jamie Lee Curtis in the opening credits. And we find Jamie as Laurie Strode in an asylum, not taking her meds and waiting for Micheal. Who shows up and starts killing everybody who isn't his sister. And we get a moment with Laurie fighting back and capturing Micheal on the rooftop. AND THEN she decides to unmask him before she kills him. And whouldn't you know it, Micheal kills her. And with a kiss and an "I'll see you in HELL," Laurie falls from Micheal's arms into the darkness. This is about 15 minutes into the movie. That's when the movie goes wrong.

And then it's like they wanted to cash in on the whole BLAIR WITCH thing. It makes no sense, and it's an insult to the audiance. Why not have the whole movie be Laurie vs. Micheal and have some real fun? What a waste.

I'm almost afraid to turn on the TV tonight.

From one to five 8:52 AM

In the past few days I have now reviewed and watched HALLOWEEN 1 through 5, thanks to AMC's Monsterfest. And what an uneven batch of films. I've never seen any of these films in a theater. I did rent the VHS tapes way back when I worked at the video store in my teens. I watched Halloween 1, 2 and 3 back then. And I believe I've only seen the first movie more then once since then.

Last night was the first time I ever saw Halloween 4 and 5. After watching the ending of Halloween 3:Season of the Witch a movie that's more along the lines of say, Invasion of the Body Snatchers then Halloween, I found Halloween 4 to be very interesting, especially the ending which suggested so much in possibilities. I was so sucked in by Halloween 4 that I watched Halloween 5, Micheal's Revenge thinking I'd get more of the same. I was completely disappointed. All the promise of number 4 is completely wasted. And yet I'm compelled to analyze the mess and the message for bits of gold. And I gotta say I liked the opening titles from Halloween 5, a kinetic bit of pumpkin carving with Micheal's favorite knife.

It was Chas who pointed out to me that Halloween was John Carpenter's take on John Ford's THE THING. Micheal Meyers is James Arnes' space carrot complete with coveralls and upstoppable attitude. It's unfortunate that the rest of the movies in the series abandon THE THING FROM ANOTHER PLANET for FRIDAY THE 13th, and other slasher flicks that came after HALLOWEEN. Ah well. Borrow from the best.

Comparisons have been made between HALLOWEEN and PSYCHO. And I'm not certain why. I often think about how monster movies went from metaphorical monsters like Dracula and Fankenstein's Monter to human monsters like Norman Bates and back. You can't really call Micheal Meyers a human monster. If there's a similarity between PSYCHO and HALLOWEEN it could be in the family dynamic. Norman and his Mother and Micheal and his Sister. But that's all I can really think of. In fact I'm not too certain why Micheal kills, and who. It's a bit of a muddle. But then Death isn't too picky about why and who dies, either.

Still it is annoying when for no apparent reason Micheal Meyers decides to start killing teens at a party when he should be across town trying to kill the daughter of Lori Strode. I guess it makes as much sense as the decission to kill the daughter of Lori Strode who turns out to be Lori Meyers the sister of Micheal Meyers in the second Halloween. What? Because Micheal killed his sister when he was 7 or so in the prelude of the first Halloween movie. Micheal MUST kill his sister. Or at least his sister's daughter? Wha?

At least Donald Pleasence is pretty much a constant in these movies. Dr. Loomis is the Ahab to Micheal's Moby and if anything gets madder and sadder as the series goes on. So why is it that Micheal never targets Loomis???

EVIL DEAD
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTIEN

Good stuff on TCM tonight! Three vampire movies followed by FASTER PUSSYCAT, KILL KILL and MUDHONEY. No sleep for me. Still kicking myself for missing BODY SNATCHERS FROM HELL eariler this month...

Another Supes Sketch 7:30 AM

  

Thinking about comix I decided to check out the Shiot Crock thread over at TJC. I still haven't got mine, but somebody commented on The Sketch Pile. Good and bad, he liked my work but was disappointed that there was no actual comix. Which is what I'm talking about. I gotta get out of this rut...

Today's Sketch 7:30 AM

  

Retooled the AWA issue of PG for Oni-Con. I'll send a few with Bruce to pass out at the green room and toss on the table. Zines are fun but I really need to get back to comix. I've just been too lazy. That and I'm stumped for what to do. Looking at my last attempt at creating comix I think I'm making progress, but I'm still not getting any results. Time to rethink my methods, what I'm doing and what I'm not doing and rework it. I think I need to start small. Start with a single page. Maybe just a single panel. Simple, small, workable. This isn't rocket science fer cripesake.

The Gods Must Be Born Free 12:48 PM

Woke up Saturday to find it raining. Turned on TMC and watched the last reel of BORN FREE, a movie I distinctly remember seeing at a matinee as a child. Later I watched THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY on IFC creating a mash up/juxtoposition in my head. Returning Elsie the lion to the wild and Xi returning the Coke bottle to the Gods at the end of the world became the same quest in the same setting. It also made me want to watch CRAZY SAFARI aka THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY: V. That's right, they made four sequels. And that last one had a hopping vampire at the center of it.

Also watched HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES again and it still pissed me off. I didn't get scared, I didn't find the effects to be very effective, I just kept thinking, "They're missing the point," over and over again. Rob Zombie should've sat down and watched TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and figured out why it works so well. And CHAINSAW is what he's trying to ape with HO1KC. Stupid movie...


Must get this.

Sketch of the Day 7:30 AM

  

St. James Infirmary 9:35 PM

It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square,
The usual crowd was assembled
And big Joe McKinney was there.

He was standing at my shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the very words he said:

"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair."

chorus
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me."
Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
God'll know I died standin' pat.

I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Chorus girl to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Raise Hell as I roll along.

Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roll out your old time hat.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
And eleven coming back.

Now that I've told my story,
I'll take another shot of booze.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
I've got those gamblers' blues.

S.W.A.T.down 1:10 PM

Watched Dallas S.W.A.T. last night. Learned a few things. Dallas S.W.A.T. doesn't knock. They just show up and tear the windows and doors off your house. Also, people are idiots. They will park their cars on the side of the Hwy, and get out and watch somebody hijacking an 18 wheeler at gunpoint. They will also get out of their cars on overpasses just to watch. Complete friggin' morons. Can it be a police state with rubberneckers?

Bloody Nose 1:02 PM

It's been a weekend of cat-drama. After work on Friday I find Nub has a bloodied nose. I figure he's been in a fight with Bruce and Mundee's cats. Then I take a closer look at the damage and it's pretty bad. By Saturday it's worse looking. But Nub's still eating. Sunday, Nub's sitting in my lap when he starts rubbing at his nose, AND PULLS THE SCAB OFF. Now I got a blooded mawed cat and his nose looks much worse. I call Mundee in a panic and she suggests that I get one of those plastic collars that keeps animals from scratching stitches and such. $10 later I put the collar on Nub. By nightfall Sunday Nub wanders into the Dan-cave and the collar has made his nose even worse. So, I take the collar off and decide to go to the vet in the morning.

This morning I call the Animal Hospital and tell 'em the whole ordeal and they get me in to see the Doc in 30 minutes. Nub has Pneumonia. He'll stay at the Animal Hospital for the next two days.

Damn Cat.

Video Kiosk and a cover 12:59 PM

Move-Me.com 

A year or so ago I had this idea of setting up a camera at an anime con with a sign saying something to the effect of, "Show us your talent!" And more or less just keep the cameras rolling and record everything that gets in front of the camera. Then take the most entertaining parts and show 'em at HELL.

Yeah, I really hadn't put a lot of thought into it. But now I'm thinking I could build a sort of Photo Booth Kiosk to contain the camera and lighting and microphones and recording bits. It would create a more controled environment and protect the equipment, making it possible to run a full 24 hour day. I could even add a terminal so people could enter in their personal information and and sign off on a EULA for the filmed content.

I need to draw it all out and maybe do some fabrication. I need to build it before I can use it.

And I've really got to get that server up this weekend, too. 50 days 'til my 40th Birthday...

Building a Tingler 8:34 AM

The other day Randy Stewart mentioned that The Tingler would be playing at a local theater. And then this Drawbot shows up the next day on the Makezine Blog. So I'm thinking I need to work out a cheap version of The Tingler for the HELLshow.

The easy part: tape a 9 volt battery to an electric motor with an offset weight attached. The hard part: How do I turn the 'tingler' on from across the room? How do I attach the 'tingler' to the seats? I'll need some sort of container to hold the 'tingler' and attach to chairs. I wonder if there's some sort of cheap rf switch I could use, I really don't want to run wires around the room. Too much of a hassle. Then again rigging multiple seats with tinglers will be something of a hassle. I guess it depends on how badly I wanna play William Castle.

I should start small and just rig up a few chairs in the house. Test it all out...
