You never know where life is going to take you, and Frank Beddor can certainly be a testament to that. His life’s adventure seems like a well orchestrated movie with a lot of twists and turns. How else can one explain going from the Us Ski Team to producing hit movies like, ‘There’s Something About Mary,’ and now a New York Times Best-Selling author?
Iae sat down with Mr. Beddor to discuss what’s next for the man who took Alice from Wonderland and brought her into our world as the real person, Alyss Hart in "The Looking Glass Wars."
Iae: Could you please tell us where you are from and what inspired you to pursue a career in entertainment?
Fb: I have such a varied and unusual background to be where I am right now. I grew up in Minneapolis and was framed by my parents. My father was an impresario,...

The summer of 1985. Has it really been twenty-five years. Wow! I don't really feel old, but its amazing that era was so long ago and yet the memories feel like yesterday. I was ten going on eleven and enjoying my summer break. Though my parents wouldn't let me leave my neighborhood with my friends, they always took me to the cinema as often as they could, which is where my love of movies comes from. I consider myself fortunate to have shared some great movie moments with my family and with my parents coming to town to visit me this summer, we hope to have some more.Hollywood still makes great movies today, but the eighties were a time when most of the movies you saw were good. At least they seemed to be good at that early age. Time can often be cruel and with maturity comes the revelation...

Writer Peter O'Donnell has passed away at the age of 90 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. The scribe is best known as the creator of the catsuit-wearing heroine Modesty Blaise, who appeared in an Evening Standard strip between 1963 and 2002. According to editor and fellow author Steve Holland, O'Donnell "kept in touch with fans and continued to pen introductions for Titan's (more)...

I wouldn't recommend doing so, but comparing a movie like Adventureland and Hot Tub Time Machine presents an interesting dynamic in one's perspective on the 1980s. Greg Mottolla unearthed some very poignant, bittersweet '80s nostalgia, which brought a lot of us in a particular age demographic back to an emotionally confused, heartsick, romantic time of our lives. Steve Pink's Hot Tub Time Machine, on the other hand, just reminds us of how embarrassing that decade was. It's great to think back to the leg warmers, and scrunchies, the moon boots, and the hot pink neon of the Reagan era in our minds, but seeing it on screen, exaggerated to the extent that it is in Httm didn't make me nostalgic for the '80s; it made me glad as hell that I'm no longer stuck in them. Jesus: What a cultural train-wreck of a decade. When John Cusack...

Fox has hired Big Bang Theory writer Steve Holland to turn the awesomely raunchy and baffling site Texts from Last Night into a half-hour comedy series. According to Variety, "Holland will loosely base the show's characters and plot on the whole idea of racy -- and sometimes embarrassing -- communication, particularly among the twentysomething set." Most of the Tfln contain foul language, mentions of drugs, alcohol abuse, and (often adventurous) sexual situations, so cable seems like a better fit to me. But there's no reason a TV show about twetnysomethings who like to drink and exchange body fluids couldn't be a hit. Who can top such strange lines as "Sex on bubble wrap = best decision ever"? Or He looks like Jesus, if Jesus had let himself go"? I'm still crossing my fingers for a show that turns Overheard in New York (or its brethren) into short animated films, a la Creature Comforts.

Full disclosure: I had edited a Flash Gordon comics series at one point in my life. It was the third greatest nightmare in my professional life. Not the part about working with the talented and understanding Dan Jurgens; Dan’s a class act and a fine storyteller. No, working with King Features Syndicate was akin to Sisyphus’s task, except the big rock was a huge boulder of shit and pushing it up that mountain happened in the dead of the hottest summer in the innermost circle of hell. And I’ve lightened up on this over the years, too. And so, on with the show.
There may be no greater icon in comic strip history than Flash Gordon. Sorry, Buck Rogers. You came first but Flash had better art and story, and a much, much better villain. Creator/artist Alex Raymond is generally regarded as the greatest craftsman in the field; so great,...
