Don't buy. Except local.

My favorite #GeneHackman role. It's mind-boggling to see him in a NAKED CITY show from '63. Or THE INVADERS in 67. THE FRENCH CONNECTION: brilliant. PRIME CUT, POSEIDON ADVENTURE, SCARECROW, NIGHT MOVES even YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Appears he was incapable of giving less than 100%. RIP Gene Hackman.

Extensive deep dive into all things INCUBUS the wonderfully strange Leslie Stevens movie in Esperanto w/ Shatner. OUTER LIMITS comes into it + the film's peripheral tragedies are not overlooked. Fun compelling read about almost-lost movie rescued by producer Tony Taylor. Includes 2 complete scripts.

The most excellent & talented Matthew Dawkins co-developer of the upcoming TRINITY CONTINUUM: #SteamWars role-playing game from @theonyxpath.bsky.social does a wonderful job boiling down essence of what this is all about. One day left for Kickstarter. Now w/ kaiju! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yU4...

New pledge rewards have now been added. Just two days left to get in on this. And for non-gamers it looks to be a fine book of #SteamWars art, stories and history. #steampunk #rpg www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

Part 2 of this "Letters From the Front." Pleased to report the Kickstarter for TRINITY CONTINUUM: #steamwars role-playing game made both stretch goals (kaiju!) & is still in motion. Last couple days--still time to get in. Thanks to all who helped. #steampunk #rpg www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVov...

and I kind of love this wacky movie and wish the so-called majors would sit up and think outside their sad little boxes, and go see this now because it’s streaming just about everywhere. The end. #HundredsOfBeavers

as the film’s indomitable protagonist, and though the name Karel Zeman has not been checked, the movie’s charmingly manufactured mixed-media world put me in mind of the great Czech fantasist, and 14-year-old Griffin was laughing so hard I feared he would break something, but then we all were, (more)

directed & edited with keen precision by Mike Cheslik who displays a masterful hand at After Effects and references Buster Keaton in interviews (and a 1921 Ernst Lubitsch film THE WILDCAT) & also wrote the film w/ Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, who happens to star, most vigorously and fearlessly (more)

Sometimes we can say “There’s really nothing like it” and mean it. HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS is just the tonic for these ailing times, an absurdist, surreal, hilarious, certifiably insane live-action cartoon that is also a silent move, yet has brilliant sound design by Bobb Barito (more)

Here is another "Letters from the Front" read by Jennifer Blaire (Animala herself) for the upcoming TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS role-playing game from Onyx Path Publishing and me. Kickstarter with less than a week to go. #steampunk #rpg www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PFm...

Thanks to all who helped us achieve the first Kickstarter stretch goal in the TRINITY CONTINUUM: #Steamwars role-playing game from Onyx Path and me, unlocking the kaiju option. Still a week to get in on this. #steampunk #rpg

I can’t tell you how many times I hear… “Gee Larry… I really like peaceful autumnal scenes… but I also like gritty action movies. What the heck am I supposed to do?” Well, fret no more. Now there’s “Hardboiled Action Tree,” painted in acrylic on 12” X 16” canvas. My latest. #surrealism #painting

This miserable looking thing is one of my art brushes. Cannot begin to guess how long I’ve had it. I believe it's either Utrecht or Langnickel. But I still use this thing, in fact it's one of my go-to brushes, even with the dried acrylic clearly caked in the base of the bristles.

Piece of art I’m working on for the Steam Wars kaiju book if it happens. We are just a couple of hundred dollars from unlocking that very stretch goal on our TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS role-playing game Kickstarter. #steampunk #kaiju #rpg

I absolutely love this idea.

A new edition of "Letters from the Front" from the upcoming TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS role-playing game. Our Kickstarter is less than $300.00 from the kaiju stretch goal. #steampunk #rpg #steamwars www.youtube.com/watch?v=taGg...

Happy to announce that I will be adapting the screenplay for DARK AND STORMY NIGHT to stage play format. I'll likely approach Concord Theatricals, licensing agent for several of my plays including Robin Hood, or may end up publishing it myself. I’ll be working on this over the next month or so.

This.

And then...

Thanks very much to you folks who bought paintings yesterday. This is what's available as of now, though I've got some inquiries. Message me if interested in a piece.

Voiceover by the one, the only, Jennifer Blaire (Animala, Billy Tuesday) for Part Three of "Letters from the Front" from the upcoming TRINITY CONTINUUM: Steam Wars role-playing game; Kickstarter well underway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0Qm...

Part Two of "Letters from the Front" in the new #steampunk role-playing game TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS, coming soon. Our Kickstarter is now less than $300.00 from reaching the #kaiju stretch goal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX0R...

Good news. Google has now been renamed Mexigoogle.

Must make room. Most of these paintings are so cheap it’s enough to make your head swim but only if it stays in the shallow end. In fact, make an offer. Great gift for your wall. Or friend. Shoot me a message & give one a happy home. Signed and titled on the back, just like it should be. #paintings

My morning...

Work-in-progress for the rigs v. kaiju Kickstarter stretch goal that we’re closing in on, for TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS. Just over two weeks to go. #steampunk #steampunkrpg #rpg #kaiju

One of my concept sketches for the rigs v. kaiju stretch goal in the TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS role-playing game. Kickstarter now underway. #steampunk #kaiju #rpg #steamwars

First of our “Letters From the Front” from the new role-playing game TRINITY CONTINUUM: STEAM WARS, from @theonyxpath.bsky.social and me. Kickstarter is currently underway! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBwv...

IT’S RIGS VS. KAIJU! Yes our 1st stretch goal is a Steam Wars offshoot in which steam forces of the world unite to battle an onslaught of giant monsters. Will include art and origins of the variety of beasts. Thanks to all who have gotten us here! #RPG #steampunk www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

The Steam Wars role-playing game hit its goal yesterday. Thanks to all who kicked in. Will be announcing the first stretch goal soon. And to non-gamers out there, the book will feature a bunch of new Steam Wars artwork by me. It will also be packed with information on All Things Steam Wars.

Watching Mascot serial THE GALLOPING GHOST on @tcmtv.bsky.social. Villain is the great Theodore "Ted" Lorch (1873-1947) remembered today mostly as Three Stooges foil. Lorch has a wonderful theatricality. In disguise he's often so bent over he's at 90 degrees. His sinister laugh closes each chapter.

“Fury of the Half-Centaurs” (1963) 89m. Groman Stromp, Gina Labianaca, Giuseppe Rondolini. An itinerate muscleman takes on a tribe of creatures that have the head of a horse and the body of a horse.

“Our Headless Teacher” (1963) 97m. Danny Bales, Fred MacRoney, Annette Callow. Zany family film about kids flipping out when their school hires a teacher with no head.

“Stepfrog and Washtoad” (1937) 88m. Olivia Hutland, Homer Whettle, Arthur Boats. The delightful children’s classic comes to life with Uncle Stove, Aunt Mizzerie, Pepper Pinepants and Little Dindy Maplehead.

“Murder on the Flagpole” (1938) 77m. Jasper Wellsy, Marjorie Feer, Edgar Maitlynn. After a man is murdered atop a flagpole police begin to question everyone who was up there at the time.

“A Big Miss Thunder Standing” (1958) 77m. Roberta Fleen, Thomas Brole, Iris Winkling. The winner of the Miss Thunder beauty contest is surprised when a giant promotional cutout of her comes to life to avenge the things she secretly resents.

“Hadrian’s Ball” (1964) 94m. Ernie Gladstone, Phyllis Timmer, Don Torney. Raucous comedy about a decrepit milefort on Hadrian’s Wall that becomes party central for Romans and Picts.
