This was the main reason we started Astonishing in the first place, but we have other reasons in mind also. We want to see what the thriving pulp community out there has to say and what they have to show us. AAM is looking for new fiction based on original pulp-styled characters. The word count can be anything under 3500, but we are open to review anything with a higher word cweek of the duke, pt. IIThe Shelf2007-05-23 16:26:06Alrighty gang, here we go with part II of our mega roundup. We’ve divided up the roundup into a three parter because there is just so much darn good stuff out there it just boggles the mind. If you are a classic film fan, you have a DVD player, extra time and have come into a sizable inheritance recently – well, this is your week! Realizing that most of us don’t have sizable inheritances coming our way every week (we hope), The Shelf does our bit in the cause for the classic film fan, but telling you what we think is essential, what are retreads, and what is worth your hard earned dollars.TodaNext it’ll be “Communications Coordinator”Pererro2007-05-23 15:17:47instead of mail room guy.I just saw an employment listing for a “Director of First Impressions” – the job description sounded suspiciously like a receptionist.This whole title promotion thing is getting out of control.EDIT:I’ve got a better one. At a certain pet store chain, you’re not a retail clerk… Oh no. You are an “Animal Companion Specialist”. A specialist that stocks shelves and mans the cash register.

I already noticed that pretty much every location I was used to seeing had been taken over by Chik-Fil-A, with the notable exception of the Block in Orange. A skim through their website confirms that Orange and Mission Viejo are now the only locations left for the formerly ubiquitous donut chain. Not that I was all that sad. How often do you really get a craving for fresh donuts at 10pm anyhow’ And how often should you really indulge that craving’ I’m probably better off getting a chicken wrap and a fruit cup from Chik-Fil-A anyhow. But the one thing I was sad about Haha (John Edwards)Pererro2007-05-23 13:02:29Well, it looks like John Edwards is at it again. You had the giant house, the hiring of angry hack-type Amanda Marcotte (as many challenged at the time, I Gave Her a Chance and even found her amusing for a while, but she’s basically yet another talking points blogger, albeit with bad language and penis size mockery), the incredibly expensive haircuts…And now, this.Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who recently proposed an educational policy that urged “every financial barrier” be removed for American kids who want to go to college, has been going to college himself — as a higA Lot To Take In….DISContent2007-05-23 12:50:25I watched Fox televison’s ON THE LOT last night, out of nothing less than morbid curiosity to see who made it to the top 50 contestants on the show. For those of you who haven’t seen the promos on air and on the web, ON THE LOT is a “reality television show” (quotes mine) from Director Steven Spielberg and reality television king Mark Burnett (who has given us SURVIVOR and GLOBAL FREQUENCY).The premise is quite simple: out of 12,000 contestants who submitted short films – 50 directors were chosen to come to Hollywood and participate in a series of challenges to determine the winner of a millioSheryl Crow Introduces Her New Son, WyattGone Hollywood2007-05-23 10:55:41Brand-new mom, Sheryl Crow, talks about spending the past three weeks holed up in her Los Angeles mansion with her newly-adopted newborn son, Wyatt.

Batman vs SpidermanPererro2007-05-22 14:37:07Well, looks like Spiderman 3 isn’t doing as well as people had thought (I still plan to see it, but it seems like it’s a bit messy just from first blush with New Goblin, Sandman, Venom, Gwen Stacy, and a partridge in a pear tree in 2.5 hoursish).But, looks like there’s some quality work being done on the new Batman.The new Joker look is interesting–it loses some of the ‘childhood symbol of fun goen bad’ and ‘man always stuck looking happy’ but then I remember I couldn’t stand the movie version of IT because Pennywise-as-clown just looked silly to me.

Heath Ledger himself has said he is basing his interpretation largely on Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke.” If you’re unfamiliar with “The Killing Joke”, go buy it. It involves flashbacks to the Joker’s possible origin, a horrible kidnapping of Commissioner Jim Gordon, and is historically important as its the story wherein Barbara Gordon was crippled, leading her to go from the original Batgirl to becomingMadonna, Directing a Film is a Pain in Her AssGone Hollywood2007-05-22 16:15:18Madonna is currently making her directorial debut on a short film called “Filth and Wisdom” , which is currently being filmed in London.
