Open for Business!

Hi there!   Welcome to Motion Pictures!

What is Motion Pictures all about?   A boy and his robot mysteriously gain the power to jump in and out of movies.   Hilarity ensues.

Motion Pictures has been kicking around my brain since 1999-2000.   It started as a daily comic strip idea that I submitted to syndicates after graduating from college…and then it morphed into a self-published comic book in 2002-04.   Its lain dormant since then, but like a good movie villain its just been waiting for its moment to re-emerge and wreak havok.

And that moment, dear friends, is upon us!   I’ll be updating Motion Pictures DAILY (Mon-Fri) for the next two weeks, to kick things off, and after that I’ll settle into a regular schedule of new cartoons four times a week (Monday-Thursday).   I’ve got about 35 strips drawn already, so I hope to be able to keep to the 4-times-a-week pace without any problems.   I’m going to make a point to keep the strips as current as possible – so that, for example, when Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull comes out you can rest assured that I’ll be mocking it soon after on this site.   However, right now we’re in the midst of a bit of a movie dead-zone.   You might have noticed.   (Don’t believe me?   Exactly how many good movies have been released since the end of January?)   SO I’ll be filling the void by having some fun with some of the easy targets from last summer – Spider-Man 3, Transformers, Harry Potter, etc.   Should be fun!

I’ll also be updating this blog thrice weekly, mostly as a vehicle for my somewhat-rambling-but-I-promise-not-too-verbose commentary on whatever movie and TV shows I’ve been enjoying or detesting these days.   I have a habit of talking my friends’ ears off about movies and TV, and now thanks to this new-fangled internet I can share those thoughts with you, gentle reader.   Be brave.

Well that’s all for now.   Thanks for visiting – tell all your friends!   See you back here tomorrow.
