Coming soon on DVD is the documentary "Comic Book: The Movie," and there's a clip of me being interviewed by the documentary's director, Mr. Swan (who, by the way, is tired of being told he looks like Mark Hamill and doesn't see the resemblance.) It's at the following website:

Thats a very good point you make about how violence gets 'sanitized' in TV and comics making it seems less horrific than it really is.
If violence were to be portrayed with more accuracy then people might be less willing to engage in it.
BTW, I finally finished 'Tong Lashing', and enjoyed it very much.
What are the odds on seeing the Apropos series continue?
Man...does that guy look like Mark Hamill or is it just me?

Boy that Don Swan sure is chatty. I'm suprised PAD could get a word in edge-wise.
if I recall, that's a pretty graphic intensive sight. So... you know, uh, the film does have some mocumentary elements. K?
I've seen this film promoted heavily at comic conventions. So heavily that I assumed it would get a theatrical release. Aren't they even putting it in a few of those little theaters? You know, those (I hesitate to say it but you know it's true) gay theatres near college campuses, to meet the minimal qualification for an Academy Award?
