Alan Moore documentary: Monsters, Maniacs and Moore (1987)
“I believe in some sort of strange fashion that the presence of the atom bomb might almost be forcing a level of human development that wouldn’t have occurred without the presence of the atom bomb. Maybe this degree of terror will force changes in human attitudes that could not have occurred without the presence of [...]

Thursday, October 21, 2010
[Originally posted at Hey Dullblog] I owe commenter Tony (aka Pismotality) a pint, a kidney or something even more important for bringing this into my life. From the British sketch show “Harry and Paul”: I particularly enjoyed the banter on the bus–somewhere Alun Owen is smiling. And the bit with Lennon and the Germans…”Harry and [...]

Thursday, October 14, 2010
Today is a red-letter day for me, one that I’ve been thinking about and wishing for since 2007. It’s always incredibly meaningful for a writer to get thoughtful critique about his/her work. And when that critique is positive, it’s the kind of public, yet deeply personal compliment that’s difficult to explain–unless you’ve hung your own [...]

Anyone who’s read Life After Death for Beginners knows how complicated I think the relationship is between psychedelic compounds, homo sapiens’ taste for consciousness-expanding, and the US Government. Neither the conventional view of drugs as unmitigated evil, nor the countercultural belief that use of them is a human right, addresses the fact that since 1950 [...]

Friends/family/fans/fellow countrymen of the internet, Life After Death for Beginners… …my novel about a John Lennon-like rock star who survives an assassination attempt and has to go incognito to find out who shot him and why… …variously known, over the last three years, as “Beatle Noir,” “the little monster,” and “really, as good a reason [...]

Friday, September 17, 2010
This documentary from BBC’s “Timewatch” uncovers that the British Secret Service had a hand in the death of the death of Gregori Rasputin. In the words of TopDocumentaries.com: The programme-makers re-opened the investigation into his death and found conclusive evidence to suggest that Rasputin was murdered in St Petersburg in 1916 in a plot hatched [...]

…and here’s a nice appreciation by blogger Edward Copeland. Copeland says he’s always shocked at how loose the film feels—how the dramatic elements (Danny and Maggie) seem to be at odds with the comedy; and of course they are. The movie is, to use my wife’s phrase, “a hot mess,” but it’s fantastically watchable. It’s [...]

Some thoughts on a recent dipping-into Philip Norman’s John Lennon: The Life, posted over on my Beatles team blog, Hey Dullblog.

Sunday, June 27, 2010
This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
