A quick note: My review for "Carnival of Souls" is posted. I watched it again last night, very funny.

I added new trivia to "Black Scorpion". I found this really cool book titled "Willis O'Brien: Special effects genius" by Steve Archer. There are lots of interesting little bits and some sad stories.
Willis' first wife shot and killed his two sons (They looked to be in there teens or earlier 20's) and then shot herself. She survived but died a year later.
And the guy who worked with him on "Black Scorpion" suffered from MS and died from cancer of the kidney about 4 years later.
I had heard that Willis was very old and probably did little of the actual stop motion work. But Peter Peterson was ill and could not stand for long periods of time.
They still did a hell of a job on those creatures though.

Oh I see you did, nevermind, I'm gonna read it. I don't know how I passed it up. Hey, is there anyway you can make the text from your deadly mantis and duplicators review consistant with all the reviews. That text looks cool, and is easier on the eyes. Thanks, glad you like it. Yup I learned a new trick to countermand the automatic codes WEBTV puts into their pagebuilder. So now I have more controll over stuff like that. Gradually I'm changing it over to the larger, cleaner text and putting in indents to make it easier to read. But it takes about 10 minutes a page to put in the new codes and after about 4 of them I get sick of it, so it's a slow process.

I'm trying out a new feature on the site called MST... Uncut! It'll show vid-caps of scenes that didn't make the MST cut. The debut edition can be seen here... Beginning of the EndI hope to do one of these month. This gives me the chance to have something new on site on a steady basis.

Yeah Don did an outstanding write up on the missing scenes from the movie. Mines a bit different as I'm using vidcaps and adding my own riffs and commentary. I just finished up with MST Uncut for SkydiversBut phew, do these take time, lots of time. I need a break (and watching Coleman uncut... huge mistake. bad pain, very bad) On slate: I'm working on upgrading my Tape Trader guide. I've watched a few from some new sources and will get this out in a week or so. I also have my Hamlet update review ready to go. Hopefully in a few days I'll publish it. There's the "Hobgoblins" contest And in March, MJs 3rd birthday to celebrate. So I should have some fun thing posted on the site over the next two months.

Nothing big, but I nw have the means to to do vid caps, and boy am I having fun. There are times when I had to get creative with the images on my reviews, but now a whole new and wonderful world has been open. lol
I now have show related pctures for Racket Girls, Bloodlust, Fugitive Alien (Before, all I could find was a KTMA pic that I used), Space Travelers and much much more.
I've got evil Mike for "Wild Horses", a great pic of Beez and, uh, "Brian" for "TOS" and a funny one from Sword and the Dragon.
Sadly, Radar Secret Service looks so bad that I couldn't get a decent looking vidcap from it. Bummer.
I kept my carpet for "Creping Terror" and "Batman" for "Zombie Nightmare", at least for now... because they amuse me.

Hey, MJ. The two movies that really need the MST Uncut treatment is Mitchell and Sidehackers. Also, I have a copy of Angel's Brigade (a version of Angels' Revenge) if you want a VHS copy, I'll send it to you.

Also, I have a copy of Angel's Brigade (a version of Angels' Revenge) if you want a VHS copy, I'll send it to you. I haven't tracked down Mitchell yet and I don't have the 'Hackers dvd. Right now I'm just grabbing what I find at the library for free and the Rhino discs with the uncut flip sides. I have short pages for Painted Hills and Village of the Giants set to publish in April and am slowly working on Phantom Planet. After that It's Santa Claus (thanks skyroniter) But yeah, after that if you wanna lend me Angels Brigade that would be veeery cool.
