There's nothing worse for a genre filmmaker's career than to attain geek deification with one's first picture. While the initial adulation is wonderful, expectations set in as soon as the second movie is announced. Give 'em enough time, and they'll start… Continue reading
I hate nostalgia. It’s an awful quality in human beings, and it’s getting worse as we go further into the 21st century – we’re getting nostalgic for things that happened this week, it seems. No nostalgia drives me as nuts as that for bad things from the 80s,… Continue reading
