Back to work. And it's funny.
After several false starts, I've realized that there's no great way to re-introduce yourself in your blog after being gone for a week and a half. There's just not.
I was thinking I might be able to do a "fun times" mail bag blog akin to the ones Tim likes to do, because I was sure I would have loads and loads of good mail waiting for me when I got back to the office. This was not the case, however. Unless you count a mini cardboard coffin full of Halloween candy promoting The Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror XIX (which I do), or the new Encyclopedia Of Reality Television (which I don't).
I was also thinking I might do a "stellar vacation" mix, but I didn't actually go anywhere that stellar. Unless you count Crest Hill, Illinois, (which I do) or Bed, Bath & Beyond (which I don't).
But, today we posted the covers for AP 245, which subscribers should start getting this week and anyone looking to buy it on the newsstand can pick it up Nov. 4 (also Election Day... you should get an AP to read while you're standing in line at the polls).
Anyway, Fall Out Boy are the new cover stars, and we've got two versions of the cover, so everyone should have something to love and something to complain about: FOB Suck! Vs. FOB Rule!. And while I'm going to leave all the cover discussion to the message boards (unless you want to comment on the covers via my blog to make me feel slightly popular and/or missed among our blog readers), I'm pretty stoked for a couple of things on the inside, namely in the sections I handle.
One, head to our Screening section for an excellent interview with Kevin Smith all about his new film, Zack And Miri Make A Porno. If you can't think of a good Halloween costume this year, I recommend heading to your local multiplex to see that instead--it debuts Oct. 31. I've been a big, big fan of Kevin Smith ever since me and my high school friends repeatedly watched Mallrats every weekend for about eight months straight. I'm stoked for a film from him that's outside his View Askewniverse.
Here's the trailer if you've been living under a rock. Or on vacation:
Also, we're sporting our third annual comedy special, and it's the first time I've been in charge of booking the talent, so to speak. I'm pretty stoked about all of the participants. And for a sneak peek:
If you don't recognize Danny McBride by name, you will by his mustache. Here's the trailer from his hilarious film The Foot Fist Way. It's out now on DVD, and if you slept on this (or Hot Rod) rectify the situation immediately.
In any case, I think we've put together an entertaining issue--hopefully you'll agree!
