Meet a Superfan

Craig Cummins drove from Pennsylvania to NYC with a special passenger, a hood from a vehicle on The Fall Guy, knowing Lee Majors would be in attendance. Carrying the hood several blocks, he got it signed by Majors and has an impressive souvenir (once he manages to get it home.)

Back For Another Bite of the Big Apple

There definitely been improvement, even if only because it moved from the piers to the Penn Plaza Pavillion. But there's a better layout and a better class of guest, including Burt Ward and Adam West. But still, most of the guests are pay-for-play, and the show is small overall.

The $6 Million DVD Set (give or take well over 5.9 million)

The $6 Million Man is coming to DVD in November, in an exclusive complete series release from Time Warner, for $239.95 (available for pre-order now at 6MDM.com) The set has all the episodes, the six movies, plus 17 hours of extras (including featurettes, interviews with the stars and commentaries) all in a box topped with a lenticular animation cel and a voice chip with Oscar Goldman's introduction. (Insert bionic sound here.)

NSFA (Not Safe For Anyone

Long Pigs is named after the culinary term for human flesh, which is probably all you need to know about this Toronto mockumentary by two film students who follow a cannibal. The special effects make-up, including a gruesome dismemberment, is by the same team that brought us 300. The rather packed DVD is available now on Amazon.

Boots on the Ground

If bootlegs are your thing, this is your heaven. You can't walk more than a few feet without seeing a table overflowing with illicit goods. If the Bionic 6 box set wasn't $55, I might have bit.

Long Island Horror

Peripheral Vision is a psychological thriller shot in two old asylums on Long Island. There's a bit of a Session 9 feel, which can't be a bad thing. The DVD is avaiable on Amazon, and features a healthy amount of extras, including a director's commentary and a tour of the hospitals.

The Show Is About to Start

The doors aren't open yet, but the fans are lining ups, and some of the exhibitors are in place. If you're in the area, you can pick up The Human Centipede on DVD and Blu-Ray early, for $25/$30, respectively. The three stars of the centipede are here to sign, and will be doing a panel tonight.
