John Oak Dalton

"Not 'Hollywood Independent' - writer John Oak Dalton is the real Real Thing." --Cinema Minima."Very weird and unpopular b-movies and comics."--Blogalicious. "After watching the film I am left to wonder if he had some childhood trauma he is not telling us about."--IMDB user review. "Screenwriter John Oak Dalton wanted to be in Hollywood. Instead, he's in the rustic kitchen above the Germania General Store, stirring a pot of boiling hot dogs." --The Harrisburg Patriot-News.

A Lot of Bottle

I'm tired from a gangbusters Phantascope Film Festival as well as a great Easter dinner at my in-laws. My mother-in-law's retirement has done wonders for my appetite. She cooked an old-school country Easter dinner after which I was so full I could not draw breath to sneeze as my body cavity was packed tight.

Bill Gibron articulated some things I couldn't about the life and death of John Polonia and probably wrote my favorite piece I have read on this prolific b-movie filmmaker to date. Check it out here.

Locus Magazine put out a "Best Of" List of Sci-Fi and Fantasy for the year and somehow I have only read one of them (though thumbed a few more at the library). I have to get on this.

I am thoroughly enjoying this.
