BUILD YOURSELF A BETTER BATHOUSE
PP Guru here. Every once in a while when he doesn't feel like giving you his entire lifestory- he'll just resort to plastering some links dealing with certain current events that he's heard on either the radio or read in a newspaper or e-mail. The PP Guru has to use some of his weeknights to catch up on some projects than just sit around here and procrastinate.
But first a little lite Deposit Man news:
The PP Guru practically had a system failure last night while he was scripting the final page of a yet another proposal to Heavy Metal magazine to sell on his concept of his favorite angel winged secret agent of the afterlife, Betty Fusco- but only this time she's teaming up with Larry Nadolsky's Race Yukon - who has been featured in Heavy Metal magazine before in a little skimpy three page story. The PP Guru hates it when yucky machines break down on him, especially when he's teetering on the tip of a literary break-through.
A long time favorite artist of the PP Guru is in talks with him to contribute the final issue's cover of DEPOSIT MAN: PLAYGOD mini-series. Now this artist has been out of commission for a while due to some nerve damage in his right arm - but has somehow been making a comeback when he was hired to contribute the front cover art to last year's San Diego Comic Con International's souvenir book.
The PP Guru has known this professional artist for a long time and has been hoping for his speedy recovery just for this special occasion. This artist has warned the PP Guru at the conversation held at the Landescape Table over at last Sunday's Shrine Auditorium show- that this might take a long. long while to finish- but the PP Guru says take as long as you fucking want- because he probably won't get around to actually publishing the issue until two or three years down the road by the rate his finances have been going. This artist has served as a inker apprentice to Jack Kirby, so he knows what he's getting himself into- and he won't be able to slip out of the PP Guru's oily patchouli's grips, because he's got this artist's phone number on speed dial.
Now on to some fact filled links. Just in time to promote the new Batman film in your neighborhood- you can now impress your friends and family with your dark caring humane love for all things rodent and otherwise by building yourself a bathouse. Guaranteed rabie shot vaccine fun for the whole family. According to this webpage, bats are supposedly getting a bad shake these days, seeing as how there reputations stems from all those nasty vampire and monster movies that infest our daily lives, but if you look at them through a different light, by helping them out with a food and shelter- they can repay you by controlling the pest manifestation. So, get out your freakin' tools out and start building.
Speaking of the new Batman film- the PP Guru is throwing all kinds of mass manipulation spells in coaxing more people to see the film this weekend and make the film break all kinds of boffo records after he was reading that sales were very lackluster from last night's advance screening - well, officially the film opened up at exactly 12:01 AM, but c'mon fellow acolytes - this flim has better acting, better storytelling,....and BETTER INTEGRITY than say that lastest space hump - a- romp that Lucas spewed on us a few weeks ago. You asked for a serious Batman film - we gave you a serious Batman, now stop your fucking crying in Burt Ward's starched shorts and go see the goddamn thing already.
And last, but sadly, the PP Guru was slightly twinged and misty-eyed upon hearing of Lane Smith's passing. Smith's wide range of character acting was unparalleled to few of his ilk, some roles he would do (such as in Cousin Vinny or the Legend of Bagger Vance) would slip right past you and you may have blinked and said to yourself - Hey that guy was pretty good- where have I seen that guy before? Well, the PP Guru considers him to have done the best portrayal of Perry White than even Jackie Cooper did in the Donner Superman movies themselves or that white haired old goat that was on the fifties television series.
The Memphis, Tennesse bred homeboy Smith injecting a little piece of Elvis Presley in the role was nothing short of brilliant and the PP Guru will be celebrating that brilliance by watching all those old Lois & Clark (goddamn, can you believe it's been over a decade since those shows first premiered on ABC ?) episodes that he newly bought last week. Smith passed away in his home at Northridge, CA of Lou Gehrig's disease at the age of 69.
