Links to Stuff heard about on Word Balloon

[joshdahl]

You know how all kinds of comics and TV shows and DVDs and books and movies and porn stars and books and food items are mentioned in wordballoon. And you are like ...aw, yeah. I will check that out!

But by the time its done, you can't remember what it was.

Ok, well, then you come to this thread and find it here.

But, in order for this to work......any time you DO remember something, you have to come here and post up the information.

Like this, I was just listening to the one about The Book of Lies, so here (http://www.thebookisreal.com/) is some stuff about it.

"The Banshee" is a teleplay Ray Bradbury wrote as a mocking sort of revenge jab at John Huston for the practical jokes and tough love Ray got while writing the script for Huston's Moby Dick film adaptation

I don't know about a Travel Channel special but maybe it has something to do with the book 'The Marvel Comics guide to New York City' by Peter Sanderson. ifanboy also did about a 30 minute show based on this book as well.

maybe, but I was specifically referring to this TV show from last year

TRAVEL CHANNEL TO AIR MARVEL GUIDE TO NYC

As reported in CBG #1567, cable television's Travel Channel has put
together an HDTV hour devoted to comic books.

Travel Channel describes its Marvel Super Heroes' Guide to New York
City, "Since the 1930s, New York City has been the home of comics and
their creators. Follow the thrilling exploits of Spider-Man and his
comic book cohorts while revealing the real-life New York landmarks
that inspired their stories."

Discovery Channel Creative Executive Karen Kraft has a lifelong love
of comic books and, thanks to the enthusiasm and inspiration of Travel
Channel General Manager Rick Rodriguez, developed with co-producer and
co-writer Molly Hermann a project for the Travel Channel that will
provide the public with a new approach to viewing of the city -- and
the art form. The project is the result of extensive High-Definition
TV taping in the city at the end of last year.

The show will air Sunday, Aug. 15, at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time,
with a repeat at 11 p.m.
Check out http://travel.discovery.com/ for more information.

Ah, that sounds cool. Too bad I never saw that.

[Supreme Convoy]

I'm sure it's well known in the Brubaker camp but they talked about Blast of Silence (http://www.amazon.com/Blast-Silence-Collection-Allen-Baron/dp/B0012Z363A/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1221006969&sr=8-1) on one of the interviews. Great crime movie!

And the Criterion version has swanky Sean Phillips art.

I think I saw that one. Is that the one that talked about the editing in Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider (among others)? I think it interviewed Walter Murch too?

[sonnylarue]

that's the one.

John, you mentioned an NPR show on your Bendis tapes (maybe part 3?), but I'm too lazy to go back and try to find it again. A show about the movie business? It sounded really interesting (especially since I'm a major NPR junkie when I'm not busy trying to catch up on podcasts...)

Little help?

wasn't it The Treatment or The Business? The Treatment with Elvis Mitchell is really good.

[maverick-99]

What was the comic they were talking about in which the woman posed topless for Bendis and Mack?

Saw Wristcutters - A Love Story (http://www.amazon.com/Wristcutters-Love-Story-Shannyn-Sossamon/dp/B0012E2GFK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1221155076&sr=8-1) last night on Brubaker's recommendation from the time he was on with Fraction... loved it. Great little movie to watch. It's not going to redefine anything but the concept is cool and it's a lot of fun to watch. Very imaginative.

Now if only they'd snuck in the Final Countdown into the movie at one point... it would have been truly mind blowing.

[sonnylarue]

flaxen, a caliber comic from the 90's

[sonnylarue]

both are about movies,

the treatment is the one on one elvis mitchell interview show,

the business is the news magazine abut the media business world in general.

[rufusTfirefly]

Yeah, thanks Siuntres. I typed in NPR on Itunes and ended up subscribing to 5 or 6 of thier podcasts. Like I have nothing better to do...

This is the free online comic Mike Grell spoke about in his interview:

Jon Sable: Freelance - Ashes of Eden

Can't find The Pilgrim anywhere, though.

[Supreme Convoy]

Ah, digging through my wishlist I remember Bendis talked about European comics he likes and recommended Nikopol Trilogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikopol_Trilogy) which was hell looking up because I couldn't figure out the spelling.

It was also made into a French movie called Immortal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortal_(2004)) which was pretty good. It feels like a super serious version of the Fifth Element (or the Fifth Element is a super comedic version of the Nikopol Trilogy)

[NeverWanderer]

On one of the past Bendis Tapes, Bendis spoke about a french comic that he enjoyed called The Killer.

Here it is!

(I flipped through this book at a book store a few months back -- looks awesome)

[sonnylarue]

the killer is very cool.

[kaldahl]

There was something in the last Bendis Tapes about an actress(?) being rude and awful on Howard Stern and it was supposed to be on YouTube, what was her name?

John, in the first part of the new Loeb Report, Loeb talks about a comic store owner who does reviews of comics that he loves. The DNR (did not read) thing. Do you get the link to that from him, because I'd be interested to read those.

[ashwin]

Here's the Teen Wolf video parody Loeb talked about :

[maverick-99]

During the Gail Simone interview there was mention that Gail wrote an epiode of a Tomb Raider animation. I did some research and found that other episodes of the same series were written by some pretty cool writers such as Peter Chung (Aeon Flux creator), Warren Ellis, and even Jim Lee.

Does anyone here know if this was this ever collected on DVD? Or are the episodes available for download somewhere?

edit:

http://www.tombraiderinc.com/content/view/446/233/
Gail's is episode 08, "Pre-Teen Raider"

[Rafiennes]

The Dave Stevens book Bendis talks about.
What's the name?
And what was that Dr. Who book mentioned in the latest podcast?
