Rise of the Zombies on SyFy Saturday
Heathcliff
I loved the Heathcliff cartoons growing up (the version I remember best was the Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats version) and the Heathcliff books that had collections of the strips. I still have most of them, packed next to the Peanuts and Family Circus books. Wait a minute, is Hollywood raiding my childhood reading shelf??? Oh, crap, now expect movies of Beetle Baily, Pavlov the dog, a Muppets comic strip, Mad magazine, Bloom County, Hagar the Horrible, and Marvin the baby! And that’s not even counting my shelves and shelves of non-comic strip books. Sorry that I have inflicted this on America, America.

September Morn is the 9-11 Truther film your tin foil hat asked for!
If you are one of those people who questions how steel could possibly melt because it’s mad of metal and see massive conspiracies in the marshmallows of Lucky Charms, then September Morn is the film for you! As the official press says:
We the people demand that the government revisit and initiates a thorough and independent investigation to the tragic events of 911. In the vein of “Twelve Angry Men” this dramatic piece is set with a stellar and award winning cast.
I’ve never seen a drama that made demands before it was even made, but here you go.
The attached stars to September Morn so far are Woody Harrelson, Martin Sheen, Judd Nelson, Esai Morales, Daniel Sunjata, Ed Asner, John Heard, Valerie Harper, Michelle Phillips, Nick Mancuso, and Dick Gregory. Which one of them is going to uncover the conspiracy, I don’t know. I’m putting my money on Valerie Harper. BJ Davis directs and Howard Cohen is writing the script. If BJ Davis sounds familiar, perhaps you remember a little movie called Laser Mission???
September Morn missed out on naming itself 9-11 Angry Men. It also missed out on getting Matt Damon and becoming September Bourne. At least they can still do a Star Trek crossover. Remember, Sisko did 9-11.

Cool short True Skin elongates to a feature film
The film’s plot is set in a future where people have enhanced robotic body parts, giving the world a neon Blade Runner look. Most people are largely robotic, the poor who can’t afford to upgrade are second class citizens. The main character steals a prototype upgrade that causes him to be tailed by shadowy people who want it as well. Can he escape? It’s a short film, watch it yourself!
The effects work from Zlotescu is great, he has a background in music videos that you can see the influences in with the style and editing. Overall, I approve of this short going forward, and we know it will succeed now that it has the coveted TarsTarkas.NET endorsement!
Say hello to my little remake! – Scarface remake gets a new writer!
So basically a remake.
Just don’t tell Universal that if they say a remake isn’t a remake, it’s still a remake. Because they’ll probably respond with several paragraphs of brain-melding garbage that if deciphered will be a road map explaining everything wrong with Hollywood ever. I do hope they don’t decide to reuse the element from the original Scarface that caused Harold Lloyd’s brother Gaylord Lloyd to be shot in the eye with live ammunition while visiting the set.
