RIP, Al Williamson
EC Comic artist Al Williamson has died. He’s probably best known now for his work on the Star Wars strip. Comics Beat has an overview of his career and tributes from other artists. (thanks, Denis!)
RIP, Kazuo Ohno
Kazuo Ohno has died at 103. He was a great performer of Butoh, a Japanese dance drama form, and even if dance is not your thing, Japanese horror movies and possibly contemporary supernatural horror wouldn’t be the same without him.
Stranded in the Jungle
Die, Danger, Die, Die, Kill! was stranded in the jungle for the month of May. Enjoy Todd’s reviews of jungle adventure movies, including a lot of South Asian films and guys dressed up as gorillas.
NYAFF 2010
The New York Asian Film Festival is coming up and actors Sammo Hung and Simon Yam will be in attending their films Kung Fu Chefs, Bodyguards and Assassins, Echoes of the Rainbow and Eastern Condors. But even if you can’t make it, it’s worth checking out the films […]
Batman XXX Trailers
Two Batman XXX trailers. Looks like the movie will have all the style and flair of the 1960s tv show, with nice production values, dutch angling, plus porn. Strangely, [SFW].
RIP Frank Frazetta
Fantasy and comic artist Frank Frazetta has died. The world of fantasy art with ladies in metal bikinis and gentleman in fur speedos will be much the poorer. We say that with great affection. (via SFSignal)
