Monsterism #59

Monster: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Movie: King Kong

Before the T-Rex in Jurassic Park came along, this was my favourite movie Dinosaur. I was always bummed that Kong beat the absolute Christ out him, but was thrilled every time I saw this sequence. The above shot is my favourite kind of shot -- you see something threatening at a distance and there's that moment of uncertainty as to whether or not it's seen you. Wrong Turn (say what you want) and Alien are both great examples of films where this same sort of thing happens, and it always scares the shit out of me for some reason. It's like there's time to get away, but you're not sure what these things are capable of. I dunno, my brain is starting to leak...

Monsterism #58

Monster: Tyrannosaurus Rex
Movie: Jurassic Park

For me, this is the best movie monster of all time. Nothing will ever beat this for me. Even with the technology they had in King Kong, which has more than ten years on this movie, the T-Rex her reigns supreme. Spinosaur Shminosaur!

The World According to Dan aka #50 Release Date

My good friend and boss (not sure too many people can say that these days) Dan Berger has informed me that Tales #50 is due at Diamond on the 16th of Sept. which means it should be hitting the shelves that week, if not sooner (depending on how fast Brenner get it printed).

Been hyper-busy this week so sorry about the lack of updates.

Here's a monsterism:

Monster: T-Rex
Movie: Orgazmo

Now you have been scarred as I was.
Once you come to terms with the scarring, this is actually one of the most hilarious things you'll ever see/hear.
