A general comment for the proprietor of this site: I am fairly in awe. I read you from time to time on Ain’t It Cool and enjoyed your reviews, but I never came to the source until recently — maybe I just didn’t love Seagal enough (and still don’t, although Under Seige 2 is one of the most underrated sequels out there) or maybe I was just a little scared, the same way I was for years of the Velvet Underground, but now I love them, too. I’ve got to say that your writing is great, fresh, unique, and honest, everything one looks for in commentary. Really solid gold stuff, please keep it up, I see myself as a frequent visitor from here on out.

I propose a trilogy:

Vern on Badass Cinema , Vern on Nerd Cinema, and Vern on DTV and B Cinema. All three are criminally neglected topics in the literature, and I hold that Vern is uniquely qualified to address each, complete with an original and wholly developed take on each one.

Oh and my suggestive title for CJ Holden’s proposed book: GEEK THEOLOGY

You know, since those fucking nerds claim certain films are sacred, certain films are damned, all that untouchable mentality that AICN Talkback and CHUD boards enforce this side of Joseph Ratzenburgh aka the current Pope. You know, a Geek Theology.

CJ Holden – That’s a GREAT idea! Maybe combined with Vern’s planned ramblings on the evolution of the Summer Blockbuster.

Or hell, Vern’s whole thoughts on the 007 franchise, from Dr. NO to QUANTUM….sure he’s reviewed here and there (QOS, Royale, those two Bond flicks for that 007 fansite) so that’s what, 18 more reviews there?

Holy shit, David Cross AKA Tobias Funke has read Seagalogy and given you a shout out? That’s awesome Vern.

You what kind of book you should really do next? A book about “geek favourites”. With reviews of the Star Trek/Wars movies, Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings. (That’s already 28 movies! I think that’s enough. Well, maybe add Indiana Jones, if you wanna add a few more.) You are the only un-geek I know, who is willing to give every kind of movie a fair chance, without being scared of pointing out their obvious flaws. So I think this might be a very interesting read.

Well, a shout out by Cross is always nice. Then again, Vern pointed out Cross shitting on Seagal for ON DEADLY GROUND. Which means back-scratching and…

OMG.

Vern, you sold out! :)
