Wendy Pini and Richard Pini, ELFQUEST, MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, comic book
2008-02-16 21:55:00 (Return to Part 1) BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Doing comics online or doing animation as you?re doing it, it?s very appealing, of course, because you get that instant distribution and instant gratification.WENDY PINI: Oh, yes.ANDELMAN: But the financial model is a little iffy isn?t it?WENDY PINI: Well, because the elves have been very, very good to us, Richard and I are in a position right now where we can work because we want to, not because we have to. And it was because of that precisely that I was able to make the kind of arrangement with Go! Comi that I did. The web comic is simply out there at the moment to attract readers and to let them know that the book is coming. Masque is actually going to be three books. It?s going to be slightly larger than average manga volumes, in full color. Each volume is going to be 160 pages long, and the first one will be released in October. So having a web comic up and generating the buzz is like having free advertisement everyday for it.RICHARD P... More About: Comic , Book , Death , Wendy

2008-02-16 17:57:00 (Return to Part 2)(Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Now, on the property?s 25th anniversary, the two of you signed a major distribution deal with DC Comic s. What did you expect from that at the time, and how did it work out in reality?WENDY PINI: Richard?RICHARD PINI: Oooh. Yeah, well, the year before we signed that contract, we sat down with some of the high-ups at DC at the San Diego Comic-Con. We had a wonderful conversation around a big table. There were several of us there, Wendy and I and our agents and the DC folks. And the sky was the limit. We talked about a publishing program. We talked about merchandising programs. We talked about media programs, the possibility of movies or television or whatever. It was a great conversation. And when we signed the contract, which happened coincidentally on the exact day of the 25th anniversary, and we had a 24-hour online chatroom going so that fans all over the world could participate. We were riding high. We were feeling very,... More About: Book , Death , Masque
Leave Pete Doherty Alone! (Or Don't. Whatever)
2008-02-16 04:43:00 I don't really know anything about British singer Pete Doherty beyond the reports that he's got some serious substance abuse issues and that he was involved with making a mess of model Kate Moss's career for two years. Can't say I'd recognize any music by his band, Babyshambles, either.That said, it was sheer boredom that led me to read Nick Duerden's cover story in the February 2008 issue of Spin magazine, "Why Pete Doherty Matters."And while I still haven't felt compelled to listen to Doherty's music, I want to recommend Duerden's story to everyone with an appreciation for solid reporting and the importance of a journalist being in the right place at the right time. Great story, featuring the kind of anecdotes and scene-setting that we rarely see anymore in this era of publicists and handlers.It's not the only solid, entertaining piece of journalism in that issue either.

Bob Balaban, "Bernard and Doris" HBO film director: Mr. Media Interview, Pa
2008-02-10 16:28:00 No matter what role he’s in, Bob Balaban always makes an impression, from Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind to playing the President of NBC on “Seinfeld.” And the same is now true of his work as a director, which you’ll discover when Bernard and Doris, starring Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes, debuts on HBO on February 9th.BOB BALABAN AUDIO!Click to open separate window ALSO AVAILABLE AS A PODCAST ON iTUNES.Subscribe to Mr. Media 's RSS Feed.BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Tell us a little bit about Bernard and Doris.

2008-02-08 02:53:00 (Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: The thing that’s interesting, and I think it’s important that people know that budget when they see the movie, it does not look like a low-budget movie. And I wanted to ask you how do you make a small-budget film about a billion-dollar subject still look like a million bucks?BOB BALABAN: Well, thank you. Hopefully, it looks like $5 million, but a million bucks is a good way of saying it.ANDELMAN: It was a joke.BALABAN: I thought you were using the expression. When a million dollars seemed like a lot of money which, of course, it is, but it isn’t, you beg, you borrow, you get actors who usually make a large amount of money to be so interested to work together and to make this movie that they forego, that they defray all of their costs. You follow the John Sloss. He’s the wonderful lawyer/producer who has a company called Indigent, which makes a lot of very, very super-low-budget movies, and he came up with a formula.

Paula Garces, "Red Princess Blues" and "Harold & Kumar: Escape From Gua
2008-01-31 15:22:00 Paula Garces’ lovely features may be familiar to you if you saw such movies as Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Clockstoppers, or Man of the House with Tommy Lee Jones. She also flirted with Meadow’s boyfriend on “The Sopranos” and has guest-starred on “CSI:Miami.” She was also promoted to series regular for the upcoming fifth and final season of “The Shield.”In April, she’ll be in a Harold and Kumar sequel, Escape from Guantanamo Bay. I’m laughing just thinking about that. Today I’ve invited Paula on the show to talk about her current project in which she voices the lead character in Red Princess Blues : Animated. We’ll also be joined momentarily by the film’s producer, Alex Ferrari of Numb Robot Studios.PAULA GARCES AUDIO!Click to open separate window ALSO AVAILABLE AS A PODCAST ON iTUNES.Subscribe to Mr. Media's RSS Feed.BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Paula, what is a ...

Paula Garces, "Red Princess Blues" and "Harold & Kumar: Escape From Gua
2008-01-30 21:04:00 (Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: I was thinking about the business side of all this, and I kind of guessed where Alex is coming from. He’s got a piece of animation here that sets up the feature, and I’m sure he’s trying to get financing for it. And then, Paula , I look at your side of it, and you’ve done some very high-profile things film-wise, and you’re on the rise and yet I look at this, and I think well, it’s probably worth the risk of getting involved with this because if it happens, if the live-action happens, you’re front-and-center in that. That could be a very big break, I imagine.PAULA GARCES: Yes. When I go into a project, I don’t think about the future of what’s going to happen with the project. My immediate thought is, “Am I going to have fun doing this? Is this something that’s going to challenge me creatively?” And second, “Are the people involved with the project, am I going to be able to live with them for the next three to six mont...

Pete Von Sholly, "Capitol Hell" artist: Mr. Media Interview, Part 3
2008-01-26 19:03:00 (Return to Part 2)(Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: I know you want to talk about dinosaurs, so let?s talk about dinosaurs. You like to mix them up in your work, combining dinosaurs with real people, which I?m thinking is a little bit Jurassic Park, which is your film background, but it?s also a little bit of creationism, too. Do you want to touch on that a little bit?PETE VON SHOLLY: Well, The Lost World, by Conan Doyle, might be one of the first and one of my favorite books involving the survival of dinosaurs into our times. There?s really nothing new about that in fiction. I don?t think of it as having anything to do with creationism myself. I think anybody who looks at the fossil record and looks at science will find that that?s just absurd to think that that?s literal creationism. No, I don?t. I just look for any excuse to draw and paint dinosaurs.ANDELMAN: Why? What is it about dinosaurs?VON SHOLLY: Well, there?s a good question. Why do people like cars, or why do peo...

Pete Von Sholly, "Capitol Hell" artist: Mr. Media Interview, Part 1
2008-01-26 18:39:00 Pete Von Sholly?s day job would be enough excitement for most of us. He creates storyboards for big budget Hollywood movies, and if you?ve seen The Shawshank Redemption or Mars Attacks!, for example, the finished product was based on his early drawings.But being a respected, behind-the-scenes craftsman isn?t satisfying Von Sholly?s fertile mind. For several years, he?s been meshing a unique form of comics and cartoons that combine hand-drawn images with real life. Sometimes he displays an EC Comics style of horror. Sometimes his dinosaur fetish is on display for all to see.Lately though, Von Sholly has turned his attention to politics, and the result is hilarious - Capitol Hell, a collection of postcards published in book form, by Denis Kitchen Publishing.LISTEN to STEPHAN PASTIS NOW!ALSO AVAILABLE AS A PODCAST ON iTUNES.Subscribe to Mr. Media 's RSS Feed.BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Pete, tell me a little bit about Capitol Hell.

2008-01-26 18:39:00 (Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Pete, in all of your comic and cartoon work, but most of all that I?ve seen, there?s some common thread that I think must date back to EC Comics. Were you an EC guy?PETE VON SHOLLY: I was too young, really. I was born in 1950, and that?s a handy year to be born when it comes to remembering how old you were when things happened. But EC Comics were just ahead of me, but I had an older brother who had some so I was fortunate enough to get a glancing blow with those. But they were scary. That?s what I remember about them, especially Graham Ingels. When you?re a little kid, they?re terrifying. The first cartoonists that I knew about by name were Charles Adams and Dr. Seuss.ANDELMAN: Ah. Very different.VON SHOLLY: Yeah, but I loved both of them, and we had some Charles Adams books around the house. And I used to love Dr. Seuss, especially McElligot's Pool, which was in color which was kind of unusual. But those were real early influences. I didn?... More About: Media , Artist , Interview , Hell

Stephan Pastis, "Pearls Before Swine" cartoonist: Mr. Media Interview, Part
2008-01-17 18:07:00 Stephan Pastis is a big fan of Ricky Gervais, creator of "The Office" and "Extras," and Larry David, co-creator of "Seinfeld" and creator of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." He also loves him some Cheryl Hines. As a matter of fact, I think the only reason I landed him on the show today is because I interviewed the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star, and that gets him one degree closer to her. Pastis? ?Pearls Before Swine? comic strip has twice been named Best Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society, in 2004 and again in 2007, and it is that funny and that weird.

I think they can do better themselves. When you were talking about that Minnesota Senator, the suggestion was that that was Paul Wellstone.PASTIS: That?s right.ANDELMAN: See, we just rely on this.

I think he thinks that he can do a bit more creatively with animation, and I certainly understand that. I think that there are certain personality/creative types who are drawn to what comic strips can do whether on a newspaper page or the web, but I think other sensibilities respond to animation. I think Aaron?s talents are shown on a television show, and I doubt very much if he will return to the confines of a three or four panel a day strip.ANDELMAN: Have you ever thought what it is that might be different about the culture at Universal compared to other syndicates, that, you have had these brilliant strips, these very unique strips, whether it be ?Far Side? or ?Calvin and Hobbes,? ?Boondocks,? ...

I have so much rage, and I always blamed it on other people, but I realized that it?s not a coincidence that there?s always a problem when I?m around. The Zoloft kind of elevated me up into the heavens, and it allowed me to look down and observe myself and observe my behavior. And it wasn?t as exemplary as I had once thought. And the title of the book also -- a lot of people confuse hypochondria with the title of my book, which is Hyper-Chondriac, and basically, hyperchondriac, all of my diseases are real. A hypochondriac thinks that they?re sick. They go to the doctor, but they?re not really sick. They don?t find anything. I think I?m sick. I go to the doctor, and they find a lot of stuff, but it?s all created within. And it?s also on my website, hyper-chondriac.com, also explains a lot.ANDELMAN: You did body...
