Blog, Blogger, Bloggest. Haven't got the bloggiest idea? Get a daily dose of the most twisted and unique comic mind in cyberspace. Nothing and no one is safe from the jaundiced laser beam of the Boneman's omniscient gaze. The point being that accurate reporting and sanity in general will always take a back seat to inspired comic genius and/or cheap, mean-spirited potshots. http://zboneman.com/blog/ Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:10:05 +0700 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://zboneman.com/images/logo_opaque.png http://zboneman.com/ zBoneman.com. http://zboneman.com/blog/rss.xml http://zboneman.com/blog/Comic-Con-2008-21578.html Sorry for the delay on this report, but technical difficulties sort of put it on hold. COMIC-CON. What a blast! Exhausting and even a bit nerve racking, but still a hell of a ride. I had staffers Tyler, John, and Bret in the field to snap pictures, take notes, and shoot footage for Film Fanatics.... Alan E. Smith Wed, 13 Aug 2008 21:45:44 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/What-Happens-In-Vegas-21571.html You gotta figure we're living in the last days when gas is pushing 5 bucks a gallon. I mean if you ever wondered why the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse decided not to drive? "And it shall come to pass that in the end times men will lose faith in the smoking beasts of four wheels and shall again wal...

CineVegas is a nice alternative to the amazing but increasingly overcrowded Sundance Film Festival. While the Sin City staple, which just celebrated it's tenth year of operation, is far smaller in scale, it is still a well-executed showcase for independent film. Co-founder and se... Adam Mast Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:59:24 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/Night-Terrors-21548.html This one is dedicated to the memory of St. George Carlin. His albums were the soundtrack to my adolescence and, next to Richard Pryor, he was the second greatest stand-up comic of all time. His passing brought with it the sobering realization that more and more the heroes of my generation are the on... The Boneman Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:04:04 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/CineVegas-Turns-10-21551.html CineVegas is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary and we're on the scene to bring you as much coverage as we can. We're knee deep in festivities right now so writing time has been extremely limited. Rest assured, Sheldon and I will ship reports back to the Boneman as soon as humanly possible. Watch for... Adam Mast Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:24:11 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/Idaho-Smith-Vs-Indiana-Jones-21540.html Now that the smoke has cleared, has my opinion of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull changed at all? Well, the truth is I did go see the film a second time. My six year old was dying to see it so what was I going to do? Say no? Of course not. So, I took him. Funny enough, after it... Adam Mast Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:06:59 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/What-About-BOB-21508.html In the days following the horrific 9/11 attacks we Americans were pretty freaked out. Once we'd learned who was responsible we were hoppin' mad and spoiling for a fight. Patriotism was riding as high as Old Glory and, had I told you "at the time" that in less than 8 years, the President of the Unite... The Boneman Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:07:38 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/Another-Simple-Plan-Goes-Bad-21516.html The Ruins is a thrifty little horror film that really made my skin crawl. It isn't necessarily groundbreaking in terms of plot structure, but it does offer up big time payoffs that may cause some film goers to cover their eyes. The Ruins opens with a very familiar set up. A group of twenty somet... Adam Mast Fri, 02 May 2008 00:02:44 +0700 http://zboneman.com/blog/Pecking-Order-21499.html Don't worry - I'm not gonna go off on another long-winded election rant. I was just wondering if Bill Clinton likes it when other prominent politicians get caught with their pants down like he used to do so prolifically. Does it make people forget about Monica and the gals or does it just refresh o...

Looking to compile video footage for our new show "Film Fanatics", we were also on hand to soak in hours of cinematic goodness. For those not familiar with the annual convention, let me set the stage a bit. ShoWest is thrown by the...

ShoWest is one of the best kept secrets of the film world. The four day convention was set up by the Theater Owners Organization as a showcase for all the latest in Movie Theater hardware.

After hours of thumbing through notes, I've managed to put together a story that will hopefully give you a little insight into one of the biggest and most reputable film festivals in the world. I'm referring, of course, to the Sundance Film Festival. This was my fourteent...

Much darker and much more bleak than its predecessor, Neon Bible is full of post-apocalyptic tracks that echo an entire generation's feelings on what it's...
