Meanwhile, back in Romania…

Once again I have journeyed to the low-budget film capital of the world: Romania, where Full Moon Entertainment works in conjunction with Castel Films to produce inexpensive genre films (science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.) for the straight-to-video audience.

Last time I was here, it was to observe the filming of Trancers IV and Trancers V, the adventures of the time-traveling hero Jack Deth.

This time, it’s Oblivion.

Well, thank God that’s over.

Some random thoughts and recollections regarding “The Great Debate” that might bring some greater understanding of it all to those who were outside looking in:

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due, Part 1

“If it’s something that I’m a stickler for, it’s credit. Give it when it’s due.” –Rob Liefeld

“Be careful of what you wish for. You may get it.” –Old Chinese Proverb

“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. –Bill Bixby as Dr. Banner

So Rob Liefeld wants credit.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen… lend me your ears. To paraphrase Shakespeare, I come not to bury Rob… but to praise him.
