Stomp Tokyo Update

2010-05-15T15:56:58Z

Hey. It's been a while. But we're not dead, just semi-retired. If you're still a b-movie fan, we're here to tell you what's been going on lately at Stomp Tokyo.

==============================================================================

Let's start things off with a shameless plug, shall we? Our friend Nathan Shumate, proprietor of Cold Fusion Video Reviews (http://www.coldfusionvideo.com/), has published a compendium of his most schlockalicious work, entitled:

THE GOLDEN AGE OF CRAP.

It's $16 CHEAP and we encourage you to check it out on Amazon here: http://fest1.com/goldencrap/

==============================================================================

In other news, the mad Dr. Freex (he's MAD, I tell you!) has published some new DVD reviews over at ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT DVD.

http://50footdvd.com/movies/

There you can read about FEAR OF THE DARK, BLACK DYNAMITE, and one of my favorite flicks of last year, MOON.

==============================================================================

Scott has immersed himself in Ultraman and Kamen Rider lore as of late -- if alien superheroes battling rubbersuit monsters is your thing, get an eyeful here:

==============================================================================

And recently, due to the demise of Blogger's FTP publishing service, two of our blogs have had to take up new residence.

That's all for now. Enjoy.

Stomp Tokyo Update - yes, really.

Hello all,

Yes, it's been a while.

Even if you're no longer interested in the goings-on at Stomp Tokyo anymore, please tune into the notice at the bottom of this message regarding this e-mail list.

==============================================================================

It's not like we haven't been doing stuff. In case you hadn't noticed, Scott has been churning out blogs like pancakes:

Big Screen Cut Scenes
http://www.stomptokyo.com/scott/bigscreen/

Music Videos that Cost Tens of Dollars
http://stomptokyo.com/scott/musicvideos/

And of course, his regular blog:

My God, It's Full of Nerds!
http://www.stomptokyo.com/scott/nerds/

Chris has been updating occasionally at Blue Glow:

And more frequently at his newer obsession, Film Festival Secrets:

==============================================================================

You may well ask, however, whatever became of Stomp Tokyo. Our self-imposed sabbatical has been extended by a bit as we figure out our priorities. Living in separate states makes it a bit harder to hang out and make fun of movies together, but we'll figure out something. In the meantime we're posting some of our vintage (dare we say classic) reviews in the new format, complete with comic-booky-type captions and speechifyin' balloons.

See one here:

http://www.stomptokyo.com/reviews/443/8-man-1994/

We'll try to keep these coming once a week or so until we're out or until we get ourselves back to writing new reviews again. It's been a decade or more since some of these classic reviews were first posted, so they should be new to a whole new generation of web surfers. Does anyone even use the phrase "web surfers" anymore?

Where's my rheumatism cream?

==============================================================================

Scott and Chris are both on Twitter.

Hello Stomp Tokyo fans,

Please take a break from obsessively ignoring the world financial crisis by taking in these three fine updates!

========================================================
Announcement #1, the long-neglected blog "Film Buff Stuff " is now being updated again, thanks to the tender minstrelings of Chris J Emery, the proprietor of "Bottom of the Barrel" ( http://www.bottomofthebarrel.net ) and communications director of the mighty fine Toronto After Dark Film Festival ( http://www.torontoafterdark.com/ ).

Please make Chris feel welcome in his new electronic lair -- sidle on over to www.filmbuffstuff.com and check out his new entry on the eBay sale of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters!

http://www.filmbuffstuff.com

========================================================

Announcement #2, the main Stomp Tokyo site has been quiet for a long time due to our self-imposed sabbatical and fervent dedication to other projects. One of those projects is now complete and unleashed upon the world: Chris Holland's new book, "Film Festival Secrets: A Handbook for Independent Filmmakers."

If you're a filmmaker taking those first steps onto the festival circuit or even if you've been around the festival block a few times, "Film Festival Secrets" is chock-a-block full of great tips, strategies, and checklists for living a better life in the land of indie film. Pick up a copy for yourself or the filmmaker in your life today.

Too chicken to buy the book on our say-so? You can check out the full text of the book online at the web site below!

========================================================

Announcement #3, Scott Hamilton has renewed his dedication to abusing his own eyeballs by embarking on another "100 days, 100 movies" journey. Join him as he scrapes the insides of his skull with hits like Sasquatch Mountain and Cave of the Living Dead!

========================================================

There have been more updates around the Stomp Tokyo castle, but we'll get to those in a future update. Our sabbatical is almost over and then, my friends . . . it is ON.

Oh yeah, you heard me. I'm talkin' to you.

Stomp Tokyo Update for August 11 2008

Hey kids -

» Maybe you didn't notice but we're still recording podcasts and blowing hot air about the latest genre movies and whatnot over on the Cult Movies Podcast. Sometimes we get bogged down in the blah-blah-blah about Blu-Ray this or AppleTV that, but it's all in the name of geekdom. If you've never listened to Scott and Chris hold forth about the dark heart of video, swing your web browser or iPod in the direction of cultmoviespodcast.com.

» We're still on sabbatical from the main reviews site but expecting to turn our attention back to the business of b-movies at the end of the year. In the meantime we're posting ~~old~~ classic reviews into the new format so be sure to tune in for some golden oldie goodness. First up: Dennis Quaid as a high-school rapist in Are You In The House Alone?

» Missing those reviews from Dr. Freex at the Bad Movie Report? Look no further than Attack of the 50 Foot DVD, where the good Doctor has been holding forth on recent DVD releases in his inimitable style. Read about Batman: Gotham Knight, Dragon Wars, and Cloverfield.

» And hey, what's this? The Unknown Movies is back? Check out reviews of Salvation and The Hunting Party from Greywizard!

» Last but certainly not least we have a heaping helping of blog entries from our various contributors, including Today in G-History, Inevitable Disasters, Blue Glow, and My God, It's Full of Nerds!

» Don't forget you can always email us at theguys at stomptokyo dot com.
