Avid Stephen King reader, check. Rush/Black Sabbath obsession, check. Not getting into Tisch, check. New baby, check. Maybe your scoring an option will somehow rub off on me by association. Dave - I had a subscription Fangoria and went to the conventions here at the Roosevelt Hotel on 45th Street. I met Thor and Johnny Ramone. Man, was I a demented teenager. I feel better for admitting that. Hmmmm, maybe you’re my Left Coast doppelgänger?

I was directed to your blog by the Screenwriting Manifesto. Looks great! I'm the father of two - 5 and 7 - and am trying to write my second script, after a first that sucked rocks the size of St. Louis. Congrats on your option - as a person on the other side of having done that, I'd love to hear the story of how your script was optioned. Thanks! kzwriter Hey, WriterDad.

You've just written my life story minus the actual ballsy move to El Lay! Oh and I have three kids with twins on the way in January so... think that second draft of my revisionist Western will be done by then? Lord let us hope so! Nice blog sir! Lovin' it thus far!

Astoundingly, I never subscribed to Bantha Tracks. I have no idea why I didn't. TERROR PHONE should be coming out on DVD right about when hell freezes over. :) Never had subscriptions to Fangoria or Starlog, actually, but my dad would always pick up the new issues of both for me when he’d buy the Sunday paper at a local newstand after church.

Wait, please tell me you had a subscription to StarLog and Fangoria magazines. And Bantha Tracks. Also, when is TERROR PHONE coming out on DVD?
