Here’s some pictures taken from Drama After Dark: A Night of the Macabre with Poe and Gorey. Most of these are from the rehearsal earlier in the day before the performance Saturday night, October 18th. Accompanied by excerpts from The Listing Attic and The Fatal Lozenge by Edward Gorey.

Today’s Los Angeles Times calls this Saturday’s “Drama After Dark: A Night of the Macabre with Poe and Gorey” as a Weekend Pick:
Actors from the Guild of St. George troupe should scare the pants off you with a dramatic presentation of the stories of Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Gorey on the moonlit grounds of [...]
Here’s a little preview of what sort of oddities you’ll experience at Drama After Dark: A Night of the Macabre with Poe & Gorey:
This is from Edward Gorey’s The Listing Attic, which is full of characters that range from murderous to lecherous to just plain peculiar. It is one of five Gorey stories we’ll be [...]
So, apparently there’s some political stuff going on?
Here in California, there’s going to be a proposition on the ballot to stop cruel treatment of farm animals. The Yes! on Prop 2 people have put together this animated music video to the tune of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. It’s kind of bizarre but probably the most fun [...]

This scene is the directorial debut of my friend Enci, a great actress who I got to work with on Voices From [...]
I hadn’t watched this movie maybe in 10 years. It was great to see it again.
The whole sub-plot of Michael Palin’s stuttering character trying to bump off an old woman has a wonderfully reminiscent of classic Looney Tunes.
And of course, this scene between Palin and John Cleese:
Love it.
Another movie I haven’t watched since I was a wee lad. Perhaps the best scene:
Some really fun writing in there.
Wallace Shawn is so great as the “genius” Vizzini. I love his bemused “hm” after being told about iocane powder, and his giddy excitement just before taking the final drink when he [...]
The Australian band Tripod has tapped into a universal experience so eloquently that it must be shared.
(Thanks to Richard Starkings for sending this to me.)
Seeing this movie again for the first time in years tonight.
Post-viewing UPDATE: Even better than I remembered! I never realized when I was a kid how many cameos there are in The Muppet Movie.
One part made me re-think everything I know about all things Muppet.
The above image is from the scene [...]
