A four-disk set including all 32 season 3 episodes of "Bewitched" will be out March 21. These shows originally appeared in color, which means fans won't need to make the black-and-white or colorized versions as they did with seasons 1 and 2.

Also due out March 21 are two shows featuring the delighful Sally Field (we like her, we really like her): "Gidget - The Complete Series" on four disks and the complete first season of "The Flying Nun," also on four disks.

Dark Horse releases "Creature from the Black Lagoon" novel



From the press release:

DH Press is proud to announce the newest addition to
its original Universal Monsters novel series, Creature from the Black
Lagoon: Time’s Black Lagoon
. Following in the footsteps of previous DH
Press original novels featuring Dracula and Wolf Man, the Creature has
been revamped with a modern horror sensibility by noted sci-fi author Paul
Di Filippo and is set in the year 2015. This book will be released in
May 2006 at a retail price of $6.99 (ISBN-1-59582-033-7).

In 1954, an expedition found what seemed to be a missing link in the
evolutionary chain: an ancient, immensely powerful amphibian Creature.
Scientists tried to tame it, break its will, and even change its very
being with surgery and torture, but the beast rebelled, killing nearly all
in its way. But was the creature truly a throwback, a freak survivor of
some prehistoric era, or was it something more?

Six decades later, one scientist attempts to find out, using a time
machine to journey into the past. What he finds not only shatters his
vision of what the Creature might be, but could change the history of the
human race forever.

Turning the conventions of what we feel we know about the Creature on
its ear, critically-praised science fiction author Di Filippo reinvents
the classic monster with a tale of time travel, horror, and mystery
that blends Cold War science fiction with today’s cutting edge cyberpunk
in a vision of what terrors still lurk in the swamp.

“Di Filippo is like gourmet potato chips to me,” said Harlan Ellison,
famed science-fiction writer. “I can never eat just one of his short
stories.”

"I Dream of Jeannie" on DVD March 14.

Jack Kirby documentary details

Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort got an advance look at the "Jack Kirby: Storyteller" feature that will appear on the expanded version of "The Fantastic Four" movie DVD and shared some details with the Kirby-L mailing list:

It's an hour in length, covers pretty much Kirby's entire life, and
is profusely illustrated with tons of Jack's art, including pencil-
copies clearly provided by John Morrow. An all-star cast of industry greats turn
up to speak about Jack's work and their experiences with him (Barry Windsor-
Smith, Neal Adams, Steve Rude, Bruce Timm, John Romita, Joe Sinnott, Tim Sale, etc), as well as such Kirbyphiles as Mark Evanier, Steve Sherman, Mike Royer, Mike Thibodeaux and author Walter Mosley. Extensively interviewed are Neal and Lisa Kirby, who've provided dozens of family photos of Jack from throughout his
lifetime, most of which were new to me.

Drawbacks: don't know if it was a DC thing or a Marvel thing, but
none of Jack's DC artwork is shown. Kirby's work on the Fourth World books
is discussed, as is the Simon & Kirby era of NEWSBOY LEGION, BOY COMMANDOS and the like, but without illustration. And the film skips over any mention of the Kirby/Marvel artwork situation of the '80s--it gets into Jack's
feelings that he hadn't been properly compensated (Evanier points out that if Kirby
had been able to receive the standard arrangement that was in place at the major
companies by 1985, he would have been a very happy man), but doesn't dwell on the
original art situation.


The expanded/director's cut version of the "Fantastic Four" will be out in April or so.

More Jack Kirby.

"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" The Ramrods: Today's Best Song Ever

Twangy guitars are cool. Wordless female soprano vocals are cool. Sound effects are cool. Song titles featuring needless parentheses are cool. So how could this song possibly not be on your MP3 player?

Vaughn Monroe, of course, did the great hit vocal version of this, but the Ramrods rock it up with lots of surfy guitars and loads of echo that make you feel like you're drivin' them doggies over some spooky hill in the middle of the night.

This was from the days when songs sonically evoked something: a mood, a place, a feeling. Sure, it all seems kinda campy now with those "Star Trek" theme-sounding vocalizations and the guys shouting "ha! git along!", not to mention the cattle sound effects, but you gotta love it.

DVD Review: "Moog"



An electrical engineer with mad scientist hair, a nerd shirt and a pocketful of pens: One of the great musical minds of the 20th century. Who'dve thunk?

But that was Robert Moog, inventor of the synthesizer that bears his frequently mispronounced last name (it rhymes with "vogue"). Just flip on the radio and you'll hear his influence. His invention, for the first time, put the ability to create electronic music into the hands of the masses.

Musicians and music producers went nuts about the first Moog when it was introduced in the late 1960s--some because they thought the machine could replace expensive session musicians, others because they wanted to create heretofore unheard sounds.

And while the electronic and computerized instruments heard on songs today may not be directly Moog derived, they certainly come by it indirectly. He opened the door to both technological and musical innovation.

This film, made by director Hans Fjellstad, shortly before Moog's August 2005 death, does a great job showing how it all went down. And it doubles as a remarkable piece of history. When before have we been able to view an inventor talking directly to those who use his invention, as we see Moog doing here?

There are great scenes of Moog visiting with French composer Gershon Kingsley (remember the music from Disney's "Electrical Parade" and the hit "Popcorn"?), P-Funk's Bernie Worrell and prog rocker Keith Emerson (yeah, there was a downside to Dr. Moog's machine...)

Moog himself comes across as mildly eccentric but down to earth and humble. Scenes from his lab and his explanations of how the synthesizer works are fascinating.

There are a few missing pieces of course. It would've been nice to see more attention given to other prominent Moogists such as Walter/Wendy Carlos (whose Switched on Bach made Moog a household name), the Beatles (the Moog is all over Abbey Road) and Stevie Wonder (who made the Moog funky), but that's no reason not to highly recommend a thoroughly entertaining and informative film.

DVD review: "Punk: Attitude"



Few musical genres are as factionalized as the stuff that gets lumped as "punk." The music, the bands, the looks are so varied, it's tough to even know what we mean by the term.

"What is punk, anyway?" is a good question, and the one at the center of this new film by longtime Clash associate (and onetime member of Clash spinoff band Big Audio Dynamite) Don Letts.

The answer he comes up with is right there in the title: "Attitude." And it's a pretty satisfactory one, particularly since Letts' attempts to get at it are so openminded, evenhanded and fair.

It all boils down to punk being approach to music, art and life. It's no bullshit, not about show business but true expression, it's not pretentious but blunt, short and loud. And when it starts being too much about a particular look or sound, it ceases to be punk. It becomes new wave or some other dang thing.

There's no sense Letts is pushing any specific agenda, playing favorites or trying to lead you to a particular conclusion. He throws up a bunch of different people on the screen and lets them talk.

The interviewees are a remarkably insightful and articulate lot: Henry Rollins (Black Flag), David Johansen (The New York Dolls), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Mick Jones and Paul Simonon (The Clash) and photographer-on-the-scene Bob Gruen.

Given his background, one might think Letts would focus primarily on British punk. But he doesn't. There's lots and lots of attention to given to East- and West Coast U.S. punk and its 1960s garage band roots. The film does a great job summing up musical events on both sides of the Atlantic.

Things don't stop with the 1970s heyday either. Letts traces the punk attitude into the 1980s with No Wave, the 1990s with Grunge into whatever the heck's going on today (it's too early to tell).

And, given the nihilistic point of view one tends to attach to a lot of punk, the film ends up being remarkably positive. Rather than dwell on the victims (Sid and Kurt, among others) we're left with folks like Poly Styrene talking about how punk gave them purpose, an avenue for expression and a release.

It's a valuable contribution to filmed music history. If there's any downside its the absence of key players John Lydon, Malcolm McLaren and the late Joe Strummer. Without them, it can't be taken as a definitive history.

But watch it alongside the excellent documentaries on the Sex Pistols ("The Filth and the Fury") and the Clash ("Westway to the World," also directed by Letts), and you have a very detailed picture of how this music/movement came about and its significance today.
