Thanks Aussie Boy.

And SOC, that is about my least flattering shot. But I like it.

Agreed, an amazing piece, and I am really glad I saw “Skidoo.”

Sad news is never a good thing, but you sure treated it with much class and respect.

May he rest in peace.

Thank you. I went to Amoeba to grab DIABOLIK, but gone baby, gone.
Instead I bought the new 42nd Street Forever EXPLOITATION EXPLOSION, which judging from the opening moments, promises to be the best.

Thanks, man. I loved hearing the stories. John even dated his stunning DIABOLIK co-star, which makes his candle burn three times as bright. He was a cool, laid-back guy.

Terrific tribute, Christian. I have only the vaguest of memories of him in Sinbad and Russians due to not seeing them since I was a kid. They were both fun films. The warmth and respect you felt for him comes through beautifully. What an interesting life he led. He clearly welcomed yor interest as a smart, personable, and knowledgeable enthusiast in bringing a couple of his neglected films to a wider public.

Thanks Craig, Daniel. And yes, Daniel, you shall see SKIDOO. Oh yes.
Everybody will. Someday.

I advise you to rush out and grab a copy of DANGER: DIABOLIK if you haven’t seen that.
