Alan Moore & Mitch Jenkins Made a Movie

What I've done is posted the prelude, "Acts of Faith" first, then the main event, Jimmy's End. I haven't watched these yet - they were published online at the end of last November and apparently I've had my head up my ass in regards to Mr. Moore since the most recent League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book (which was awesome and which, there is a new book set to hit comic and book stores next month - Nemo: Heart of Ice. Between these films, Nemo and my foray into Gary Spencer Millidge's Strangehaven prompting me to pull out his Alan Moore tribute book Alan Moore: Portrait of an Extraordinary Gentlemen, I'm having a very Moore 2013 all of a sudden!!!)

I'll shut up now. Enjoy.

John Noble Friend Teaser

"Friend" Teaser from Ari Margolis on Vimeo.

Ok, I'm behind on Fringe. My wife and I fell into it pretty hard last year, blurred through seasons 1-3, bought ssn 4 when it came out but just haven't had time to watch it yet. The show itself starts with a SUPER strong pilot, then gets a little too X-Files/Creature of the week and kinda bugged me for a bit, then by season two is just sublime science fiction. It synthesizes a lot of the stuff I wanted to do in my first, totally failed manuscript for a novel, and it does it in a graceful, elegant way. It's kind of Lost meets The Invisibles meets X-Files. And casting wise, everyone is great, but John Noble - Walter - oh my! He is wonderful.

Well, above is the teaser for something he's starring in coming out later this year. I don't know anything else about it, but just based on Mr. Noble, I'm in!

Joe Hill's NOS4A2

I received a nice advance copy of Joe Hill's NOS4A2 today. I am VERY much looking forward to reading it, as Hill's Heart-Shaped Box is one of my favorite books of recent years (and Horns is pretty damn awesome too! Can't wait for that movie starring Daniel Radcliffe). I'll be posting opinions on the book soon enough, however I also have my brand new copy of Peter V. Brett's The Daylight War - purchased in stunning hardcover the day of release (today) from my favorite local bookstore The Book Frog. Mr. Brett's stuff became DOR or 'Day of Release' level for me after the other two books in the series (which I speak about here) blew me the F--k away!!! But of course now I have an especially tricky conundrum - which to read first?

Choices, choices choices...
