Greetings & Salutations!<br />
<br />
Did ya miss me? Did ya even know I was gone? Did <i>I</i> miss me? Did <i>I</i> even know I was gone? Meh, who knows?<br />
<br />
It's been five long years to the day and I have no good excuse. Well, the computer I used to post on here from went kaput soon after that last post. The loss of so much content pretty much killed my desire to post new material. (Hell, I was consistently inconsistent anyhow.)<br />
<br />
Whatever the case, I have returned. I hope to keep up with this baby. I've truly missed it.<br />
<br />
Happy trails...<br />

I cherish the salad days of electronics stores. You know, the days when you could walk into a store and not get bombarded by some scripted asshole working for DirecTV who "wants to help," only has a "quick question" and would love to shake your hand. Anyhow, yes... it was the 1990's, the obvious answer to the 1980's. And Incredible Universe was the obvious answer to RadioShack.<br /><br />If you were lucky enough to have one near you, you might have experienced it's grand metropolis-like grandeur. Appliances galore, but most importantly for me, they had one hell of a media section. Aisles upon aisles of VHS, divided by genre and, my personal favorite, the "budget section." Not to mention the awesome clearance bins upon entering the department. (A Paragon issue ONE ARMED EXECUTIONER for $3.99?! Don't mind if I do!) And, they had LASERDISCS! A shit ton of 'em! At the time, I didn't have a laserdisc player, but I definitely perused these racks knowing exactly what I was missing. The music section was also just as insane. Where else, back then, could you pick up Alan Howarth's score to HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS and a Buzzcocks compilation? INCREDIBLE UNIVERSE! Did I mention they were INCREDIBLE?!<br />
<br />
Sadly, Incredible Universe folded in the late '90s and most all of their locations (I think they had under twenty stores throughout the United States) were converted to Fry's Electronics, keeping the basic designs the same (i.e. exterior). And if you look at their delivery trucks closely, you can still spot the layered IU logo beneath the black paint overcoat.<br /><br />So, in an effort to "remember when" and collect a few remnants, I thought I'd make a post about it.<br />"Like to hear it? Here it goes..."<br />

They also had live demonstrations and live music performances (keep in mind it was the '90s, folks... and a FREE concert)...<br />

Hello, Ladies (Stephen Merchant-style)...<br />
<br />
Well, it has been over a year since I last contributed to this blog, which sucks because I'm the sole contributor. So... tumbleweeds.<br />
<br />
I suppose that I truly have no good excuse, other than wanting to take some virtual time off. But the good news (or bad, depending on your outlook) is that I have returned...<br />
FROM THE DEAD!<br />
<br />
Later on!<br />

<br />
Being the avid Jean-Claude Van Damme fan that I am, I was searching TIMECOP movie memorabilia (yeah, da's right!) when I came across something that truly boggled my mind... a one of a kind painting/mock poster for the Van Damme-less sequel, TIMECOP 2: THE BERLIN DECISION. While I haven't seen the film, I do know that it stars Jason Scott Lee and Thomas Ian Griffith, but not Mick Jagger in a dual role as this particular artwork suggests.<br />
<br />

<br />
The artist is South African and such works were, most likely, done to promote films at a local video store which might not have had access to the typical publicity materials. Either that or he's a huge fan of re-rendering published artwork as a pastime. Such posters weren't uncommon in decades past, but TIMECOP 2 is a 2003 film and this is the first I've seen of such works within the 21st century.<br />
<br />
As I had suspected, there's a slew of mock posters listed among the seller's other items. Again, these are all a bit mind-boggling to me, but so extraordinarily bad (and dare I say kitschy?!), that I had to collect photos of some of the worst of the worst to share here. Happy viewing!<br />

Judging from the "babe" to the right, there's more than one snake threat in this film.<br />

"Hi, Valley Home Video? Yes, I was in your store earlier today and meant to pick up that Sinbad movie starring Patrick Wayne, but when I got home and opened the rental case, the tape for THE CALIF OF BAGDAD was in it's place. Apparently, it co-stars a woman who has endured several upon several brick hits to the face ...and I had my heart set on Jane Seymour. I want my 1.50 in shillings credited to my account, please."<br />

Alright, aside from the non-intimidating small henchman in the bottom right corner, this doesn't look too bad.<br />

Fact: I'm a Daniel Bernhardt fan. Another fact: TRUE VENGEANCE is my favorite of his films. Another 'nother fact: Paul Le Mat does not appear in this film. One more another fact: Unless this is a composite version which incorporates scenes from Bernhardt's BLOODSPORT II: THE NEXT KUMITE, there should be no Kumite-leaping action on this poster.<br />

Yes, it seems a bit strange, but considering these were two of Paramount's biggest money makers in 1968, this double bill does seem quite fitting.<br />
<br />

<br />
First off...<br />
Nathan Fillion appeared on the cover of last weekend's issue of Parade Magazine (June 10, 2012), holding up a copy of the Bantam movie tie-in for Peter Benchley's JAWS (complete with the "Now a spectacular motion picture from Universal" stamp on the cover). In the <a href="http://www.parade.com/celebrity/celebrity-parade/2012/06/10-nathan-fillion.html">article</a> he discusses his love for books in their true form and digitized counterparts, but the important thing is that he is touting JAWS.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, that article/cover coincides nicely with the latest contribution to my on-going Movie Tie-In Project, the seventh slideshow installment.<br />
<br />
Lotsa Paul Newman fare in this edition, along with Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, Roy Scheider, Arnold Schwarzenegger, William Goldman, Aliens, the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy, Batman, Billy Jack, Predator, WALKING TALL, Vic & Ramona and Shaft... John Shaft.<br />
<br />
And, now, on with the show!
<br />

<br />
I've also set up one of them fancy YouTube playlists featuring all seven installments in sequential order (with future editions added upon completion)...

<br />
And, this is my first post in a long time. Well, I'm back.<br />
<br />
First of all, I'm not really interested in seeing ROCK OF AGES, but being a stickler for detail and a life-long KISS fan, I can't not make mention of the tremendous faux pas which is in plain view on the theatrical poster. My guess is that Alec Baldwin's character is not a time traveler and if this is a period film which takes place in 1987, then why is he sporting a KISS tee from their Alive Worldwide/Reunion tour of 1996?!<br />
<br />
Lazy, folks.<br />
<br />
To add insult to injury, Russell Brand is in the film!<br />
<br />

Not entirely certain what the purpose of this latest offering from Wolfgang Van Halen & Co. truly is, but (strictly for grins and possible guffaws) I thought I'd give the lyrics a go (my best interpretation, at least).

Okay, it's about time I launched another batch of movie tie-ins from my collection. This installment features a few alternate editions of tie-ins which have been represented previously...<br />

I'm pretty proud of myself for tracking down the tie-in for WINDOWS, since it's a movie that MGM/UA has all but buried. 32 years since it's extremely brief release in theaters (January 18th to be precise) and it has yet to garner any official U.S. home video release.<br />

I found this on YouTube recently and shared it on Facebook.<br />
But, it dawned on me...<br />
"Why wouldn't I post this on my damn movie blog?!"<br />
So, here it is (some vicious laughs to be had here, folks)...<br />
Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert in TRUE PALS!<br />
<br />

<i>Why Siskel & Ebert never got an endorsement deal with McDonald's is beyond me.</i><br />

(Miss you, Gene!)Nathan Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01303211326198118071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190249.post-59138818673846834852012-01-09T00:10:00.005-06:002012-01-09T00:25:19.925-06:00JAWS - The StorybookIn early 1983, I was in Kindergarten and, as a school project, we made our own books. Rather than come up with something original, I thought it best to tackle something that hadn't been done before, a storybook for JAWS. Hell, if STAR WARS and THE MUPPET MOVIE could have storybooks, why not JAWS? (Not counting the children's books that were inspired by JAWS 2, which weren't true story books.)<br />
<br />
So, my 6-year-old mind came up with some crazy hodge-podge adaptation of both JAWS and JAWS 2 (JAWS 3-D hadn't yet been released). I now present you with this fine(?) publication (limited to one copy) of my attempt at a big fish story. (Brace yourself. Logic, narrative and fine illustrations clearly weren't a priority.)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Here's my clever way of introducing a scene from JAWS 2,<br />
while jumping immediately to the conclusion of said film.<br />
<i>Damn those electric sticks!</i></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Fairly certain this wasn't the end, rather the first act<br />
of the original film, but close enough.</div><br />
