THE BERNICE, TOO PACKAGE

Ben's right...

He's bad...

Never listen to The Bad Monster!

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Always Hanging In Marvel Land!

I keep seeing posts online and on entertainment news sites about Marvel, Disney, and Sony not coming to an agreement on use of Spider-Man as part of the Marvel series of films.  I keep seeing folks blame Sony, blame Disney...
Really?
Blame Marvel.  They're the company that was in such a bad financial situation back in the late '80's early '90's that they were taking checks from anyone willing to write one for the screen rights to their characters.
But really, who cares why?  It's business most of us are speculating about but have nothing to do with.  The equivalent of schoolyard gossip.
A good comic book movies job is to be a gateway into the world of the characters.  A gateway into the comic book themselves.

Going to see a movie is about twenty buck these days, right?
Hit the ATM, get out a twenty dollar bill and find you local comic shop.  Inside that wonderful place Spider-Man has always been in the Marvel Universe.  So are the X-Men, and Venom, and The Fantastic Four, and Blade...  And so on...
Support the local shop, and the artists, writers, and creators who make these characters happen from the start.  They need the money more than the film folks do!  And their work is more inspired, original, and creative!  I'm not bashing the films at all, or their merits and creativity or the talent behind them.  I'm glad these movies are around, even if I haven't seen a Marvel flick since 2012, they just aren't for me these days.
But I do know that Spider-Man, Batman, The Hulk...  These guys were a gateway to me, into art, and creativity, and joy. And it was the comics that got me first.  And I'm grateful for that.

And then... We celebrated a birthday.

There was a party.

We were lucky enough to have invited each other,

We were the misfits,

The broken,

The burnt out.

And then we were inspired.

The walls...

The air...

We inspired each other, and it became contagious.

And it was a sickness you hope to never recover from...

Some of us still carry that beautiful sickness.

And it still feels good.

The ALF Statue!

This is real!  Like, really real!

The world (and Connecticut) needs an ALF statue... In these times a good laugh is really helpful, and I believe anyone who would come across this would smile, huge. Check it out -

Adventures In FacebookLand... Sometimes It Gets Creepy!

So weird, and funny...  So felt like I had to share...

Since HEAD has come out I get a few new Facebook friend requests a week from folks I've never met, or have no other relation to other than they are aware of my name because of the film, or Elmwood...  

And I really do think it's cool how the world can reach out to each other and connect because of the internet!  Some of the people I've had contact with are amazing, and I love it.  It's great to connect and converse, and learn and play...  And I love connecting with people who like our work!  

But I was getting so many requests on FB, and with all the scams, bots, I wanted to make sure I was really getting requests from real people, so I started sending a message to anyone I didn't know explaining that they would have to give a me a little more info before I accept the request.  

Most folks reply, and are totally understanding.  And I usually then accept the request...  

Once in a while I get shit like this though...

He replied with "You're welcome"
And I let him have the last word.  What's the point of going on further with a creep like that.

So, yup.  I have no brain because I didn't want to wear slippers during a puppet show.

Man, I wish I had a brain.   

As soon as I got the third message I knew I was dealing with something weird... 
So I did a little research on the guy who sent this to me...  

Yeah, he's a known perv and creep.

Not surprised.  It's a strange world.
Be careful folks!

And I don't even own slippers.

Instant Classic

The Muppet Movie - 40 years!

"The Muppet Movie" changed my life.

Sounds crazy, but its true.  At 4 years old a whole new world opened up to me.

I was already a Muppethead.  But seeing that movie, in the theater in 1979, opened my eyes...

This is somebody's job.  And I bet they love it.

So here I am, 40 years later...  A puppeteer, puppet maker, and film maker.  It's a great life.  And I love that I get to share it with so many other people.  Thank you!

The Muppet Movie is coming back to theaters this weekend and next week...  Special screenings for the 40th anniversary. If you've never seen it on the big screen it's pretty amazing.  I'll be there!  Can't wait!
