I was recently guest on THE FLOPHOUSE podcast, where I talked about my most hated movie: WALKING WITH DINOUSAURS.

You can listen to it HERE.

And for new-comers, I’m reposting my manifesto about WHY I HATE WALKING WITH DINOSAURS :

My passion for shark movies outweighed my distrust of basic-cable talking-head clip shows and I agreed to appear on SyFy channel’s SHARKMANIA: THE TOP 15 BIGGEST, BADDEST, BLOODIEST BITES.

Here are some jokes that did not appear during the broadcast, but are good enough to blog.

(In the TV business, we call these “web exclusives!”)

Say what you will about 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK, it passes the Bechdel test.

Previously I’d compared the two types of Shark movie posters (see the gallery HERE.)

But here’s another poster trope: HANDS GRASPING FOR DEAR LIFE.

The hands are always caucasian. And they frequently belong to men. (Otherwise the poster will show the woman in her bikini.)

KINDERTRAUMA observed that GREAT WHITE’s hand is the MORTUARY hand. (It appeared again on a book cover.)

tagline: “Wave goodbye…” Geddit?

Here’s a more recent example of the trend. We even see some of the poor guy’s face.

Her left hand is up, well, probably so we can get a better view of her chest.

Happy Blobfest Weekend!

Some of you are excited about Free Slurpee Day or the new Planet of the Apes movie.

But I’m excited to go to Phoenixville, PA — the town where THE BLOB (1958) was filmed.

Here’s a video I made for AMC back in 2008, my first Blobfest:

This year’s theme is Kaiju, and the organizers had a “Kaiju Haiku” contest. There was a different prize each week.

I was bummed that I didn’t win the King Kong pillowcases, but delighted to learn that my haiku won the grand prize: passes to Blobfest!

And my poem was turned into this 3-panel comic by Jason Deeble (of Monster Haiku)

Here’s the full schedule for this weekend’s Blobfest. (including appearances by Joel Hodgson and Ghoul a Go Go)

It’s worth the trip.
