I haven’t spent any time posting here about my time at Troma, but I plan to, all in due course. Until then, I want to share with you, my loyal readers (all two of you), a paragraph of a great review over on DVDTalk:
If you don’t already appreciate Troma’s style, this one isn’t likely to change your mind but those who ‘get it’ will find a lot to love about this mammoth three-disc collection. Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead is a terrific return to form for Kuafman and Troma and the film is as hilariously entertaining as it is an equal opportunity offender. Crass, juvenile, and genuinely disgusting, it’s never the less a clever and creative film and Troma has pulled out all the stops with this jam-packed release. Highly recommended.
Poultrygeist! is a special film to me, which seems odd to say, given its subject matter. Special for two reasons: 1) it’s the one film that I saw from its genesis all the way to completion while I was still with the company, and 2) from a purely egocentric standpoint, it’s the one Troma film that actually has my name in the credits.
So, for the uninitiated, watch the trailer above and then go and pick up Poultrygeist! Night Of The Chicken Dead exactly one week from today: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 — just in time for Halloween! Available in local big box retailers everywhere, as well as Amazon.com, and the Troma Studio Store!
So I replied to someone’s version of this, so I guess that means I’m on the hook to post mine as well.

I’m really interested to see who responds to this, all three of you that read this site.
And yes, I will post about dragon*con soon, I promise.

This was I trip I took back to my roots of Sterling, Colorado in February 2002. The first time I’d been back home since my great-grandfather died several years earlier, and perhaps even more importantly, the first time I’d seen the place through the eyes of an adult.
Gotta love internet memes. They’re the online version of being the kid on the playground who looks at what everyone else is doing, and says to himself, or out loud, “Me too!”
This one comes from Jeff via Amy. Seriously, blame them. The idea here is that you get a random article from Wikipedia, that’s your band’s name. Random quotation, that’s the album. Random photo from Flickr, that’s the artwork. Ready to play? Discussion is here.
