Tony Young Hi Mark, I'm working on a film set in a nudist resort and I wanted to make a sly reference to your song, "Kill all the Zealots." Can I get your okay? Don't know if you remember me, but I used to work with Young Man Kang. ------------------------------------- MP: You actually don't need my permission, but be my guest. I'm honored. 24 July 2010 - Burbank Lovechop I too was wondering about DRGS, the only DVD version I have seen is a double feature with "The Kidnapping of the President" on the same disc, is that the only DVD release of Deathrow? And if so, how is the quality? ------------------------------------- MP: I haven't seen the new release of it, but even if they improved the quality, they aren't selling the remastered version, which can only be acquired through the Pirromount website. 23 July 2010 - Seattle Kev Hi Mark I ordered and recieved and love Nudist Colony and Rectuma however I hadnt seen the thing about the Remastered DRGS I know its been like maybe 2 years since I ordered them but is it too late to request a copy? my e-mail address is GothicKev at aol dot com could you e-mail me your response? Cheers mate ------------------------------------ MP: You'll be hearing from us. 22 July 2010 - Hell On Earth aka UK!!! Lovechop lol, you sound like a salesman. Is cool though cause I already have Rectuma and think its the SHIT. I do need a new copy of Deathrow Gameshow though, only one I have is laserdisc and haven't had a working LD player for the better part of a decade. --------------------------------------- MP: The laserdisk was another example of a bad transfer: picture was dark, blurred, and was made at the wrong speed. Everyone's voice sounded like they were on helium. Another thing fixed in the remastering. 22 July 2010 - Seattle Lovechop Oh my, the way you say that! You misinterpret my meaning, Sir. Much the same way a child likes to be put to sleep with a favorite book, I am comforted going to sleep with my favorite movies. A child will hear their favorite stories all day and still want to hear it at bed time. kinda how I feel about Queerwolf 17 years after first seeing it :) --------------------------------------- MP: I knew what you meant. I was just being a smartass. Anyway, Queerwolf is such an old movie. You need to update your Pirromount material. I recommend Rectuma. Same edgy humor, less bad cinematography. 21 July 2010 - Seattle Lovechop meh, she just doesn't understand why I continue to put your films on repeat when I go to sleep. she say's "don't you get tired of watching the same movies time and time again"? Nope, I love em! thnx mang ------------------------------------- MP: Refreshing to hear that my films can help put a man to sleep. 20 July 2010 - Seattle Lovechop Asylum? Not for some time 8) Really though, whats with the "disastrous 2002 version with the mosquito on the cover"? I started watching your movies when I happened upon Queerwolf (best movie ever and Kent Butler is still my hero) back in the early 90's and also found Polish Vampire shortly thereafter and now I be wondering how this unauthorized release came to be.btw, the wife is still buggin me about you being perched up on top of her dresser most nights, she don't listen ---------------------------------------- MP: The 2002 mosquito cover DVD of Polish Vampire was very poorly produced, with an inferior transfer created. Color balances and exposures were off. All those were fixed in the 25th anniversary version. Glad you like Kent Butler (who can also be found in our films,'Deathrow Gameshow' and 'Buford's Beach Bunnies'). Finally, if your wife has issues with me, maybe it's time to just cut her loose. 19 July 2010 - Seattle david when ordering films is there an extra charge for shipping to england --------------------------------------- MP: I'm not sure. If there is, I'm sure it's minimal. I mean, how much could a DVD weigh? 19 July 2010 - england Kristen Thanks so much for this board and forgive me if this question has been asked, but I'm considering FiCore but am also an AEA member - will going FiCore in SAG affect my AEA status? Thanks so much. Best Kristen --------------------------------------- MP: One shouldn't affect the other. 18 July 2010 - New York, NY Harvey I am about to change my SAG status to fi-core. Should I list this on my resume and websites, like Actors Access? I'm afraid it may hurt my chances of getting SAG work if I list fi-core status. Thanks. --------------------------------------- MP: Most filmmakers' main concern is getting their film made with the best possible talent, union or not. I've never heard of a case where a filmmaker shooting a SAG film said, "I'm not going to use that bastard, he's fi-core." However, if you're really worried about it, just have two versions of your resume: one saying Fi Core and one not. That way, you can send the resume catering to the project that you're submitting to. On your website, just list yourself as SAG. If a filmmaker's looking at your site, he's already considering you. 15 July 2010 - USA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 33 >>>
