Good ol’ Adam Cohen. He sure does ramble on before getting to the important stuff, doesn’t he?

Heh, just this morning I started whistling the Star Blazers theme song (the long slow sad version) and several co-workers also recognized it. I swear that will be played at my funeral.

Nobody noticed that the director’s cut of DARK CITY was released on DVD yesterday?

I once had ambitions to be an author but then I scrapped what was going to be my debut novel when I discovered that if I read a few hundred more books of a certain type I could be a literary author. So that's what I'm working on now. You can't be that unless you read Thomas Hardy, Beaudelaire, and all the other highbrow stuff (or as I will soon be saying... material). Besides, if you buy Folio Society books, you get illustrations to boot, which makes the highbrow a little more comic-ey and fun.

I thought Dark City was really cool but some of the plot was illogical which is where it lost some if its nerd cred.

“I was (a) a nerd”
Todd, isn’t using the past tense a bit presumptuous? You ARE a nerd; say it proud!

And I’ve taken Todd to art exhibits before and he looked at paintings and relayed anecdotes from comic books, no foolin’.

I love Dark City

Ten years ago, at least one of those adoring fans of The Dark Knight was sitting in the center of a nearly empty Manhattan movie theater wondering why the film, which I loved, hadn’t attracted a larger opening night crowd. Today, Dark City is being released in high definition glory on BluRay (less than $20 at Amazon), with both the original theatrical release, a new Director’s Cut, a digital copy (for iPods and the like), and several film length commentaries featuring the director, set designers, and Mr Ebert, too. For those of you equipped to cherish it, bon appetit!

I hadn’t thought of Starblazers in ages, Todd. Epic sci-fi for kids in the eighties. Loved it.
