New STARLOG... |
Lead | |
|
STARLOG #350 (THE PRESTIGE on the cover), now on sale, has three stories that may be of Monster Kid interest: My visit--accompanied by Special Gorespondent Zacherley--to Cortlandt Hull's The Witch's Dungeon in Connecticut (lotsa photos), plus two pieces by my STARLOG colleague/pulp historian Will Murray: a previously unpublished 1980s interview with Walter B. Gibson, creator of THE SHADOW (plus news of the trade paperback series reprinting both THE SHADOW and DOC SAVAGE that begin this fall), and an interview with PLAYBOY's monstrous cartoonist Gahan Wilson (lotsa art).

It's been probably ten years or more since I actually bought a copy of STARLOG, so I would totally have missed all this Cool Stuff. Thanks for the heads-up, Tom.

Tom, glad to see you mention your STARLOG cohort Will Murray. I worked pretty closely with Will for four years on COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE magazine. There isn't anyone I know who has such a vast knowledge and understanding of Pulps and Comics as Will.
Tom Weaver and Will Murray in every issue of STARLOGÂ…you can't go wrong! That's why I pick the mag up, for those two scholars of the printed page. --Michael Kronenberg |

Hi Bill,
What article do you have in the issue? I haven't bought an issue of STARLOG in many, many years but checked for it at Borders today but didn't find a copy. Dennis |

Quote:An interview with Naomie Harris, one of the stars of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN II. |

Although her role isn't necessarily large in the second PIRATES movie (she's also in the third so it might be bigger), it is most definitely memorable (heck, for those teeth alone). She also had one of the lead female roles in the MIAMI VICE movie.
I still like her best in 28 DAYS LATER, though. |

The NEW New STARLOG | ||
|
Either I posted about STARLOG very late last time or I'm doing it very early THIS time, because when I was at their offices today, I saw copies of #351 -- only ten days after I posted about #350! If the STARLOG guys get just a little bit quicker, they can start working for a weekly mag. Anyway, if anybody's interested, I've got two CHFB-friendly articles in there, an interview with Robert Vaughn (prompted by the DVD release of Season One of his current series HUSTLE -- but we talk about the Good Old Days also, natch) and also an article that STARLOG editor Dave McDonnell dreamed up and asked me to write: My assignment was to pretend that STARLOG existed in 1955 and I was writing for it, and I visited the set of FORBIDDEN PLANET. He had me call some of the actors and tell 'em what we were doing, and I asked them to say to me the things they'd have told a set visitor in 1955 -- and they all played along fabulously. So it's a fictitious set visit (and VERY clearly identified as such, needless to say), spruced up with actual 2006 quotes from Anne Francis, Warren Stevens, Richard Anderson, Robert Dix and James Drury, all "talking-up" the movie as they might have on the set. Bob Burns provided some great photos and even some concept art he says may never have been published before -- like the Id monster with the face of Walter Pidgeon! Brrrrr!
Also featured are interviews with a couple '70s chicks (stretching the CHFB parameters a bit), Elizabeth Sladen of DOCTOR WHO and Sarah Douglas from the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies. |

Elisabeth Sladen? She's a goddess! I'll have to check that out. She and Teela were always my favorite Companions.
Consider the true cost of living with Clown Phobia.

And guess who else has a story in that issue, which goes unmentioned above.

I give up Bill.
Who else has a story that relates to vintage horror/sci-fi films in that issue? |

I'm guessing it's someone who likes Diet Squirt.

Re: The NEW New STARLOG | ||
Quote:All Tom said was "CHFB-friendly" articles. It seems to me that someone who is a regular on CHFB with an article in STARLOG (or anywhere else) makes that article "CHFB-friendly." Do you think otherwise? |

Re: The NEW New STARLOG | ||

And so begins yet another confrontational thread.
I don't think I fancy taking the bait tonight. Later. |

Re: The NEW New STARLOG | ||

Which article did you write, Bill? We're always interested in CHFB members' works, so we look forward to seeing it.

Well, if anyone's interested, the current Fangoria has my set report from the new PUMPKINHEAD movie and the next one has my interview with Bob Keen about his new film HEARTSTOPPER.

Got my copy of the new STARLOG in the mail today and, if anybody's interested, it's got my interview with Richard Kiel, all about THE WILD WILD WEST and Michael "Dr. Loveless" Dunn. Also of retrospective interest: A George STAR TREK Takei interview, one of Joseph OUTER LIMITS Stefano's last interviews and, if 25-year-old stuff counts as "retrospective" (I guess it does -- but to me it still seems "newish"!), a William GREATEST AMERICAN HERO Katt interview.

Re: The NEW New STARLOG | ||

Tom,
In your interview with Kiel, did his two appearances in Kolchak: The Night Stalker come up at all? |
|||
TomWeaver999 |
Re: The NEW New STARLOG | ||
|
No, it's strictly WILD WILD WEST -- this article was supposed to come out around the time of WWW Season One's DVD premiere, but then a chance for a Robert Conrad interview came along, and ... sorry, Richard!
I think Kiel writes about KOLCHAK in his autobiography, if that's any consolation. |

..... with SPIDER-MAN 3 cover features, if anybody's interested, my six-page interview with screenwriter Pat Fielder (THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD, THE VAMPIRE, RETURN OF DRACULA, THE FLAME BARRIER).
