It's an updated version of the live concert version, with giant inflatable puppets and all. He's doing a ton of dates, and going old school by staying for two or three nights in larger cities. It's well worth traveling to the big city to see, especially as given his age this is not only your only chance to see this but it'll probably be his last tour. I'm sure he's hitting Florida at some point.

Ah, OK. Maybe Teague got an advanced peak, which would explain why he didn't just link to the article on their site.

Speaking of which, there's a showing this weekend of the original 3D version of Creature from the Black Lagoon as part of the Buffalo International Film Festival (yes, it surprised me as well ^_^). I'm probably going to go, making it and the uncut print of Metropolis my two festival experiences. Unless I also do the 35mm print of Evil Dead next Saturday...

No, they have the word right, it's just that they don't understand it's 50 hours of footage that's being cut down to that over long 3 hour movie. Actually a movie editor is probably closer to the editor of an anthology (as opposed to a normal book editor), deciding what individual pieces to put together to make a whole instead of what to cut out. But, that's not how the term is usually used... hell, I tend to have an immediate negative reaction on hearing anything is "edited"

Seems to be working. Some search results were interesting- would have thought 'bts' included Men in Black, and 'goth' got no results despite The Crow. Also no results for 'sex', 'robots', 'models' or 'stop motion'

And encourage them to start a podcast of their own. I was disappointed that they didn't already have one.

Can't wait to listen to it. Just because I know you're not that familiar with podcasts, I'll mention that it's not unusual to put outside interviews and the like into a a show's regular podcast feed between regular episodes. So, if you wanted more exposure for this and had their permission that might be a way to go.

I've never sought out the animated version of Sanctuary, as like I said the live action version is good. In both cases production probably started before the comic ended, but the movie stops at a satisfying place. Rereading the manga I'm three volumes in, and it really is fun seeing an insider's take on another country's politics. The whole "we have to destroy the economy and bring in cheap foreign labor so the Japanese youth will get off their lazy butts and be strong again" angle is fun. The proud Japanese are now office slaves ruled by old men, and these two guys want to make it a society they'll be proud to live in. The fact that in real life it took over another decade for one party rule to be seriously challenged and young leaders to rise up also makes and interesting counterpoint to the story.
