Beatrice and Joe Bob Briggs
Ron Hogan announced he will interview Joe Bob Briggs in New York in November. I'm hoping he's writing a transcript of this.
I've always found Joe Bob entertaining, ever since I watched his show when it was on Showtime. (It later moved to TNT and suffered from a lesser selection of movies. I'm not sure it's on at all anymore.) That's where I first saw "The Warriors" and "Basket Case III." Classic. I used to subscribe to his newsletter, which kept me up on the film career of Shannon Tweed and other such luminaries.
I also enjoyed his men's movement parody "Iron Joe Bob." Briggs has got a new book out called Profoundly Erotic: Sexy Movies That Changed History, which is what Hogan will talk to him about.
Coincidentally, I was just thinking about Joe Bob today when I was writing about King of Kong Island (on my Giant Monster Blog). Joe Bob used to always use the phrase "too much plot getting in the way of the story." And that's almost the perfect way to describe "Kong Island."

Hey, cool blog. I joined up to NaNo WriMo this year too. I added you to my links.
Hey AJR, thanks for the link and thanks for stopping by. Good luck with Nanowrimo, I'll keep a watch on Tales of Twilight.

Thanks fella. Didn't know Joe Bob had appeared in any movies besides his cameo in Casino.
Science fiction westerns, aye? I don't remember too many of those. I do remember liking Oblivion, though it's been years since I watched it.

The Valley of Gwangi I've seen and enjoyed. I haven't seen the others. I didn't know Tremors had made it to a 4th movie. Interesting. I know nothing of The Beast of Hollow Mountain. What's that about?
Brian.
