Go, Watch. Now - QUATERMASS & THE PIT (Movie Version)

Remember, back in the day, when I challenged all of you to seek out the Hammer Films version of Quatermass & The Pit?

Well, I found it via YouTube. Watch before it's pulled.

QUATERMASS MONDAYS: Quatermass 2 (Episode 1)

Yes, it's the day after New Year's Day, and you're looking for a way to kick-start the new year. Why not do it with some vintage British science fiction television?

For the next six weeks, I'll be presenting Quatermass 2, the "prequel" to Quatermass and the Pit (which was shown this past Halloween). Think of it as my way of providing cheap, free entertainment to the masses. 

Enjoy!

Coming Soon to Blog THIS, Pal!

It's the return of Quatermass Mondays, when the blog will be presenting:

Because the best way to start off the New Year is with an alien invasion.

Watch for it!

Quatermass Mondays: Quatermass & The Pit Part 6/Quatermass 2

First, happy Halloween!

As a special treat, not only am I showing the conclusion to Quatermass & the Pit, but you get - as a bonus - the prequel Quatermass 2 in its entirety. Enjoy!

Your Pre-Halloween Preparatory Moments of Zen

Yes, this weekend is the lead-up to Halloween, and my plans are...well, thanks to little ol' freelancer me, I'll be spending good chunks of it working and being very mobile. I can't really complain though - it was some relatively poor planning on my part, and quite frankly, I'm going to have to start making social engagements more of a priority.

(It's one of the key disadvantages to evening and weekend work - topsy-turvey scheduling. However, thankfully my work commitments have led to a relatively stable income....not enough to buy a sportscar, but enough to take care of amenities. My only worry is a slightly sick cat, but that's part of the grand tapestry of life.

Money matters are actually handled in my latest post for Chicago Now's Job Stalker - it's a follow up to an earlier piece, and is one of the better pieces of writing that I've done in awhile.

Also, on Sunday at 1:00 pm CST, please join me and Phil for another live edition of Whoverse, the streaming Internet Doctor Who Radio Show. Simply click here, and you'll get to hear our live discussion of all things Who. (Please note - we're working on online access, so messaging me on Facebook asking why we're not giving you a shout-out may not be very effective). You can catch past episodes (both of them!) by clicking here.

Finally, there's a new, Halloween-themed episode of Zone 4 (via Comic Related) with an introductory bit that....well, let's let Brant explain it:



See you Monday with a final Quatermass & the Pit....as well as a little something extra.....

Quatermass Mondays: Quatermass & the Pit, Part 5

Hope you've been following....and after this week's episode, join us next week for the conclusion...and a very special Halloween treat.

Your Bad Fan Fiction Nightmare Fuel

Someone, somewhere is writing fan fiction about the time Professor Quatermass, the Master, and one of the Two Ronnies all went drinking to fight alien invaders:

A Special Quatermass Monday Birthday Wish for Chuck Moore

As always, I am greatly indebted to pal Chuck at Comic Related - thanks to his willingness to take me on as a columnist and podcaster, I'm finding myself slowly (but surely) engaging an industry in a field that I dearly love.

It's also an opportunity to repeat something I did for him - and you - two years ago.

Since the first time I posted episodes of Quatermass & the Pit as a Halloween-themed countdown, the provider that allowed me to embed the videos either went out of business...or deleted the videos. Since they're now up on the Internet Archive for your viewing (and downloading) pleasure, here's a repeat performance.

And if you're good, maybe on Halloween....you'll get an extra treat.
