Don is a friend.
I wrote most of this some time ago but, as with about 20 other articles, told my editors not to run it until a suitable time of my choosing.
The first date I had for this was Christmas. I was going to London at Don’s invitation, but circumstances changed that. I was a bit bummed because Neil Gaiman and I would have hooked up and seen his play together. Rich Johnson had promised to take me to this private club he said I would enjoy. I wasn’t too keen on that until I googled the club. It wasn’t a brothel or a Satan worshiping club. If I told you the name, you’d have second thoughts too.
I then decided the day to run this would be on Father’s Day. Last week I changed my mind, so it’s running today.

Horror can be all about the jump scares, or all about the scares. Some though work at a more cerebral level and hits the emotions more. Lake Mungo is a horror that may be too subtle for some, but for others who like this kind of film it creates a truly chilling experience.
Filmed in a documentary style, Lake Mungo looks at the tragic drowning of sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer and how her family deal with her death. With the help of a parapsychologist, they uncover secrets she was hiding, and find Alice was being haunted by Lake Mungo.
In the film, we look at two things, that is the story of Alice herself and her family. With the family we look at how...

Jerry O’Connell deserved better. Frankly, anyone does than this, though O’Connell in particular is a solid actor who has thrived in raunchy comedies before. However, this marks a career low-point, if not for him (he at least still tries) than his agent for passing this script on to him. Ballbuster is one of the worst movies that I’ve seen in years, deeply unfunny, indifferently made, and downright embarrassing for its cast and crew. That anyone gave money for this to be made boggles the mind. It’s being released today, though a more apt description is that it’s escaping. Avoid it at all costs. The flick is, supposedly, a comedy, though all evidence to the contrary. After an opening sequence showcasing how tough his father was on him, we meet star basketball player Rich Johnson (O’Connell) in his waning years. Trying to win his new team their first championship,...

I am Not Tyrone Cash… but I’ll get to that later.
Let me make some things clear. I bare no ill will towards Milestone 2.0. I’m doing what I need to do to deal with my bouts of depression and because my business requires I do so now.
What is it I need to do, exactly?
Telling what transpired so to destroy any and all doubts, there was something unprofessional about me that caused my former partners and friends to dismiss me with not a word before or since as to why.
Derek Dingle gave a hint (before he hung up on me) that when I left Milestone 20 plus years ago. It was my lawsuit that prompted it all. Ok, that’s revisionist history if ever there was.
There was no lawsuit. And even if there had been, so fucking what?

Writer’s note: Why after almost two years am I bringing this to a head? Because I’ve tried and tried to reach these guys and still nothing.
I’m also sick, and this was consuming me making me sicker. I reached threshold when Rich Johnson of Bleeding Cool asked me to comment on some verifiable information he now had.
And I’ve had enough.
Eighteen months ago my world, already rocked by a series of devastating events, was almost destroyed.
Milestone 2.0, the new company founded by Denys Cowan, Reggie Hudlin, Derek Dingle and myself hit the world. The initial story broke in the Washington Post a newspaper with a global reach underscoring how big deal this was.
The announcement landed on the comic book press like a bomb, with the explosion killing me. Yep. I’m dead.

Mr. Khosla,
I read your piece “The Case Against Dan Didio.”
I’m rarely impressed, but you wrote an impressive article. The attention to detail, footnotes, research and overall thoughtfulness you put into making your case was indeed extraordinary.
I’m a bit taken aback by your use of my article as the motivation to write yours. My article why are we still complaining about Dan Didio had little written about Mr. Didio. It certainly wasn’t a defense of his work nor a damning of it. He and others mentioned were only used to illustrate my outlook.
Much of what you wrote regarding my views and work can do with a bit of clarity. I fear what you’ve constructed in your narrative is somewhat unbalanced and frankly unfair.
For example, placing quotes around a word when no one is speaking gives the distinct impression you don’t believe,...

There has been a debate amongst comics wags that the rumor about Marvel cancelling their flagship title, Fantastic Four, during their 75th anniversary celebration was just that – a rumor. Marvel/Disney couldn’t possibly be that petty. Bleeding Cool.com‘s Rich Johnson, who carried the story, steadfastly stood behind his sources. Good for him.
Evidently, Marvel wasn’t happy with how 20th Century Fox was treating the property in the forthcoming movie reboot, they didn’t want to support it and so were cancelling the comic book. Ok, but would they cancel all those X-Men titles if they didn’t like the way Fox handled their latest X-movie? Of course not. Nor did Marvel cancel the Spider-Man titles despite the atrocious way Columbia handled the Spidey flicks of late – and they’ve got release dates for three or four more.

It’s not often you get to describe an event as being fifty years in the making. even less so do you get to mean it. Three Doctors in three timelines converge to give them all a chance to change a terrible moment in their collective past.
The Day of the Doctor
by Steven Moffat
Directed by Nick Hurran
The Doctor is in the present, in his most recent incarnation, picking up Clara, when he gets picked up himself, by Unit, to investigate a mystery at the National Museum. Meanwhile (well, I say meanwhile…) in his previous incarnation, he’s investigating a mystery in Elizabethan Britain, an attack by the Zygons that could lead all the way to the Queen herself. And in another part of the Universe entirely, The War Doctor is making a decision that will put the lives of countless innocents in his hands, a choice that...

According to a story run by Bleeding Cool on Thursday, Classic Doctor Who fans might have something big to be excited about outside of the 50th anniversary and An Adventure In Time And Space specials later this year. Citing confirmation by a “connected” source, reporter Rich Johnson has gone on record saying that an eccentric broadcasting engineer in Africa has unearthed a score of previously lost episodes of Doctor Who that haven’t been seen since they were originally broadcast.
More accurately, he built himself this library over the years through his own personal procurement of the BBC materials. For once, nicking office supplies has come in handy.
As we all know, the BBC destroyed much of what they broadcasted throughout the 60s as tapes were expensive. They didn’t for a minute think that anyone would be interested in re-watching the broadcasts, a lack of foresight thinking that has...

Between the screenwriting announcement for the 50 Shades Of Grey film and now this, you might suspect movieland had sex on the brain today. But then it is movieland, so that pretty much means a day that ends in a “Y”. Still, this project is something a little crazier, as Cam Gigandet and Nick Thune have signed on to star in Johnson.How crazy? Try the fact that it’s the story of lothario Rich Johnson (Gigandet) whose penis gets so sick and tired of being overworked that it abandons his body and takes on human form (Thune).So then Johnson has to find some way to win back his favourite appendage while – of course! – becoming a better man in the process.Writer Jeff Tetreault owns the twisted noggin that burped this one into life, with The Virginity Hit’s Huck Botko set to continues his sex-themed directing career. “It’s semi-autobiographical,...

Do you love all of the dick jokes in today’s raunchy, R-rated comedies, but hate it when the movies stray away from its protagonists’ penises and try to put their focus on something else, like flash mobs, food trucks, or burgeoning art careers? Then the new comedy from screenwriter Jeff Tetreault, Johnson, might be exactly what you’re looking for. The movie is about a womanizer named Rich Johnson (get it?) whose genitals feel so overworked by his sexual conquests that they take human form, leave his body, and refuse to come back until he learns how to be a better man. According to THR, Twilight star Cam Gigandet has been signed to play Johnson, while comedian Nick Thune has been tapped to play the johnson. Wondering how exactly one depicts a wang taking human form on film? You’re in luck, Tetreault has another dick joke to tell as a non-answer to this question. He...

The Twilight actor Cam Gigandet has landed a new and unusual movie, Johnson and he’ll co-star with comedian Nick Thune.The duo will share the titular role in different senses.
Penned by Jeff Tetreault and directed by Huck Botko (2010 R-rated comedy The Virginity Hit), the story follows Rich Johnson (Gigandet), a rich, young womanizer whose penis splits from his body and takes human form (Thune).
In other words, Gigandet will play Johnson, and Thune will play Johnson’s ‘johnson’, which is no doubt a concept rich for comedy.
Johnson will start erecting, uh-huh, I mean go into production October 10th in Chicago.
Gigandet recently wrapped erotic thriller Plush and will soon be seen in John Stockwell’s Seal Team Six.
Thune, who has appeared numerous times on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,’ (and on each occasion, he won) has had minor roles in Judd Apatow’s 2007 comedy Knocked Up,...

Because of the massive successes of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, The Hangover, and Bridesmaids, there's been no shortage of crude comedies trying to outdo each other with gross-out gags, strange sex antics, and wild one-liners. But Huck Botko, co-writer and co-director of the 2010 R-rated comedy The Virginity Hit, is taking raunchiness to a whole new level with his upcoming indie feature Johnson. Variety reports Cam Gigandet (Twilight) and Nick Thune (Not That Funny) will co-star, sharing the titular role in different respects. See, this comedy, penned by Jeff Tetreault, centers on one Rich Johnson, a wealthy and handsome young man who is a merciless and self-centered womanizer. But Rich is forced to re-evaluate his life and become a better person after his actions cause him to lose his manhood. And by that I mean his penis mystically takes human form and runs away. So, Gigandet will play Rich Johnson,...
