Get the "cluck" outta here!

I haven't spent any time post­ing here about my time at Troma, but I plan to, all in due course. Until then, I want to share with you, my loyal read­ers (all two of you), a para­graph of a great review over on DVDTalk:

If you don't already appre­ci­ate Troma's style, this one isn't likely to change your mind but those who 'get it' will find a lot to love about this mam­moth three-disc col­lec­tion. Poul­trygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead is a ter­rific return to form for Kauf­man and Troma and the film is as hilar­i­ously enter­tain­ing as it is an equal oppor­tu­nity offender. Crass, juve­nile, and gen­uinely dis­gust­ing, it's never the less a clever and cre­ative film and Troma has pulled out all the stops with this jam-packed release. Highly recommended.

Poul­trygeist! is a spe­cial film to me, which seems odd to say, given its sub­ject mat­ter. Spe­cial for two rea­sons: 1) it's the one film that I saw from its gen­e­sis all the way to com­ple­tion while I was still with the com­pany, and 2) from a purely ego­cen­tric stand­point, it's the one Troma film that actu­ally has my name in the credits.

So, for the unini­ti­ated, watch the trailer above and then go and pick up Poul­trygeist! Night Of The Chicken Dead exactly one week from today: Tues­day, Octo­ber 28, 2008 — just in time for Hal­loween! Avail­able in local big box retail­ers every­where, as well as Amazon.com, and the Troma Stu­dio Store!

An A&R rep's dream

Gotta love inter­net memes. They're the online ver­sion of being the kid on the play­ground who looks at what every­one else is doing, and says to him­self, or out loud, "Me too!"

This one comes from Jeff via Amy. Seri­ously, blame them. The idea here is that you get a ran­dom arti­cle from Wikipedia, that's your band's name. Ran­dom quo­ta­tion, that's the album. Ran­dom photo from Flickr, that's the art­work. Ready to play? Dis­cus­sion is here.
