I have high hopes for ‘The Lost Skeleton Returns Again’, the sequel to ‘The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra’, an exquisitely funny and intelligent homage to cheapie 60’s sci-fi movies. If ‘Returns Again’ is even half as good as its predecessor, I will enjoy it immensely. Click here to watch ten samples from the new movie, which should be out on DVD to see the light of my projector’s bulb sometime this summer.
Larry Blamire, the creator of ‘Lost Skeleton’, has Boston fan roots going back to the 70’s. I happen to have a 1979 issue of ‘Galileo, the Magazine of Science Fiction’, with a story illustration by Blamire. I wonder if he still feels a connection to this, or if it seems far from where his interests are now?
Yes, there is a God! Another side-splitting “Son of Lost Skeleton” is in the can. As I rehearse for the play that I’m in (a comedy), and watch these trailers, I’m struck anew by how INCREDIBLY hard it is to be INTENTIONALLY funny. When I think how easy it is to make everybody laugh by just being yourself, when they know who you are and “get” your sense of humor. But when you have to read somebody else’s line and “be’ somebody else who is totally different from your personality, it’s really, really hard. Remember, all of the actors in “Lost Skeleton of Cadaver” are LEGIT ACTORS who had to fake being BAD ACTORS!
