It's an area of cinema I knew little about until I began reading your blog. The guys at Fab Press have always put their money and sweat behind winners and I'm sure this will be another success story.

I wish I could find a simple solution to inherited genes and that boring activity known as exercise. Kevin - Thanks Kevin and I hope you get the opportunity to read them!

John Phillip Law was incredibly enjoyable to watch - and always will be. And Time Tunnel - I love it! Thanks for sharing with us. I always learn something new here.

I fear Americans are getting dumber every year.

And not a bit thinner, so it’s all for nothing!

I'm in the process of going back to school after dropping out many years ago and my main goal is to get into an English program that will allow me to study at Oxford for a summer. p.s. Sleestaks scare me! Richard - Indeed I do love books. Too much for my own good sometimes. I wish what you said wasn't true but I fear Americans are getting dumber every year. Neil - Ha! I'm glad my recommendations were useful. There's a lot of good books getting released all the time and I have a hard time keeping up with the all but I had mention these.

I have a dog-eared copy of "Diet Naked Lunch" that remains pretty tasty. Seriously, though, I'm totally drooling over all of these. Hopefully I'll pull together the cash to get at least a couple.

Isn't it astonishing that there are millions of people in this country with high school and even college educations who would never buy a book without the word "diet" in the title?

Say was that weighty tome from the Boodlian Liberry? Irwin Allen's sci-fi was so retro, even then - it was the kind of old-timey space opera-ish stuff "Star Wars" was made of. Half the time I expected Sleestaks to wander into the frame - the production values were sometimes good, sometimes bad - but I loved Time Tunnel! Thanks for the tip on the Pinks and the late, lamented Mr. Law, too. Ah, the return of our Fearless Leaderette!

Hopefully I'll be updating a little more regularly from now on. Outlaw Masters is a great book and I'm glad you're enjoying it. Please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to offer recommendations any time. Keith - Hi Keith! Sorry you're having a rough summer. Obviously mine hasn't been a walk in the park either but things are really looking up at the moment. Take care and I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Johnathan - I actually thought of you when I was writing about the new Time Tunnel book so I'm not surprised it caught your eye. ;) Netflix does have the show on DVD for rent since I watched all the episodes last year and really enjoyed them.

I love Allen's stuff from the sixties. If I had the money to get all of his shows on DVD I would. But for now I only buy cheap twofers and stuff from TCM that goes for around 7 bucks. Maybe Netflix has them. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on reliving my childhood. Go Time Tunnel! I love Allen’s stuff from the sixties. If I had the money to get all of his shows on DVD I would.

I hadn't checked your blog in awhile. Hope your summer has been going well. Mine has been a nightmare. Long story. I've been reading a lot of men's action/adventure novels from the 60's and 70's.

I'm currently reading a not new bood, <b>Outlaw Masters of the Japanese Film</b> by Chris D. I might be writing to you about those films available to be seen on DVD that you may be more familiar with than I am, to see if you are as enthusiastic about certain films or filmmakers touted by Mr. D.
