While waiting for the new James Bond movie to turn up at RedBox, I've kept myself busy with another batch of 1960s "Eurospy" knockoffs...

New one...
For the past two years running, my pages that have gotten the most views have been about the latest "Sharknado" sequels... so I figured what the hell, time for another one about the upcoming fourth installment.

Back in the early 80s it seemed like "Treasure of the Four Crowns" played on cable almost as much as "The Beastmaster"
I hadn't seen this cheapo Spanish "Raiders of the Lost Ark" wanna-bee since I was in junior high, aaaaand... yep, it was just as awful as I remembered!

New one:

I couldn't get out to a store on Record Store Day so I celebrated by ordering a pile of goodies from our bud Stormspell via CDBaby. .Then I wrote a blog about my haul cuz that's what middle aged metal nerds do.

No, I'm not on Stormy's payroll, I've just been buyin' a bunch of his stuff lately.

New one! Remember Crystal Pepsi? It's comin' back!! Whether or not this is a good thing, of course, depends on who you talk to.

New one: a quickie entry on the demise of the Hastings music/movie store chain. Is it weird that I'm mourning their loss even though I've never actually set foot in one of their stores, only bought from them online?

I just got a congratulatory e-mail from HubPages telling me that my articles there cracked the 200,000 page view mark over this past weekend. Dang!

 

...granted, some web sites/blogs get that many hits in a week or a month, and it took me five and a half years, but still... dang! That's a lot of eyeballs!

 

So hey, I just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone for continuing to put up with my lame-ass attempts at self promotion 'round here and for even occasionally checking out my stuff, even if you're only doing it out of pity (haha). You all rule!

 

Onward and upward to 300K!

STONE COLD is an underrated action classic. "Imagine the future, Chains, 'cause you're not in it."

STONE COLD is an underrated action classic. "Imagine the future, Chains, 'cause you're not in it."

My fave line is when Lance Henriksen sez to Boz, "it's times like these that I remember the wise words of my father...'Don't, son! That gun is LOADED'!"

Look Ma, I'm a guest blogger!

I recently re-visited Iron Maiden's "Dance of Death" (2003) for Ginger Nuts of Horror's summer-long, album-by-album breakdown of the Maiden catalog. Check it out!

(Yes, I'm aware that the first two paragraphs are repeated twice for some reason. I've alerted the site's Powers That Be about it, but they haven't fixed it yet.)

My first installment of "Forgotten Horror Movies on YouTube" was very well received so I whipped up a Part II...

Dang, I haven't posted anything new in more than a month! I'm such a slacker.

 

Anywhoo, our pal Stormspell recently hooked me up with a sneaky peek of the new Blazon Stone album so here's my ramble about it:

A friend at another forum recently published his first novella, and he was kind enough to give me a sneaky peek to review it...

I'm on a roll ...two new posts today! I've actually been working on both of these in bits and pieces for a while now, but I got sick of 'em hanging around unpublished so I finished'em off and pushed'em both out in one afternoon...

First, a look back at Rob Halford's first post-Judas Priest venture, Fight's War Of Words album...

http://hubpages.com/entertainment/Forgotten-Hard-Rock-Albums-Fight-WAR-OF-WORDS-1993

...and then a re-evaluation of KISS' Psycho Circus.
(Spoiler alert: I still don't like it much.)

The current silliness in the Quiet Riot camp was too good not to write a Hub about.
