'Ollie Klubershturf vs. The Nazi's' Is Damon Lindelof's Long Lost 1 Act Play.... And It's Awesome!!!!

Mills, Hemsworth and Reedus

The guys over at One Cool Thing A Day always find... eh...er... well, One Cool Thing A Day (Hence the site name... meh) to feature on their site. A few days back they featured a short film entitled 'Ollie Klublershturf vs The Nazis' by director Skot Bright. The thing that makes this short film special is that Damon Lindelof, (co-creator of Lost) wrote it as a one act play. But he wrote it RIGHT before he had a scheduled meeting with Carlton Cuse (the other co-creator of Lost)... and since Cuse was so impressed with Lindelof's play he agreed to meet him. This script got Lindy in the door with Cuse, and then the two went on to make TV history!!! Bright does an excellent job bringing the story to life with a wonderful cast of actors including Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Norman Reedus (Boondock Saints), Rachel Nichols (GI Joe, Conan Reboot), Samm Levine (Inglourious Bastards), George Seagal (Just Shoot Me) and the wonderful Zach Mills (Super 8) as the child wunderkind Ollie Kluhbershturf! This will be the best 10 minutes of your day....

The Walking Dead... Gone Way To Soon!!!

So... I was going to post this on Monday, but I wanted to let a day pass for me to soak in the masterfulness (I don't think thats a word, but I don't give a fuck) that was the season 1 finale of The Walking Dead. It actually irks me to call the 6 & 1/2 episode mini series a "season", but thats what AMC is going with... so lets not argue semantics.

Rick & the crew...



I will say this. I am a huge fan of the original series (I read about the first 24 issues or so) and an even bigger fan of Robert Kirkman, the original comic book writer. The way he writes people is fanatstic. Perhaps the biggest mistake that people make is that this is a horror series. Sure, its based in horror, but it truly is a character study on human beings way more then just a shoot em up zombie adventure. But here is the catch: When they do the zombie stuff, they do it to death (literally)!!! There is no shortage of violence, gore and general zombie awesomeness on this show. Yet its all done in a wonderful context, and how the actions going on in this post apocalyptic world affect these survivors is pure harmony.



Issue #1... Where it all started



If I have one drawback on the show, its the fact that I have to wait until next October for the second "season". This can officially be called a "season" because we will have 13 episodes. I love this cast, especially Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes. Thats my boy right there. Not to mention anytime someone finds a way to fit Norman Reedus into an ensemble cast, they are doing something right. Big ups to Frank Darabont and the crew for that one. Thanks for a great mini seri... er, I mean 1st season. Looking forward to much more to come!!! See you guys next October.
