Take Some Time Out of Your Day and Do Something Different For A Change

Here is the problem with American television (and movies for that matter). In order to insure a return on your investment audio/visual media must make sure they are producing something everyone will like.

This means 1) Plot by committee 2) Screening groups, screening groups, screening groups

Problem with that is that most of the time, all the creativity is sucked out and the original vision. Even if the idea was fantastic (see "Zombocalypse" for an example) it generally gets so watered down, the final product ends up with about as much emotional punch as a wet sock.

However, this pig has some good news for you.

Because so much money is made in the entertainment industry. Sometimes, just sometimes a little of that scrilla is siphoned off the top and something really cool gets made.

Enter - THE AMAZING SCREW ON HEAD.

Created by "Hellboy" genius Mike Mignola - it's a wild romp through Civil War era America, with a robot James West saving the day from a zombie. It's got a monkey, flame throwers and butlers who tend to have short life spans.

I can't say enough good things about this show.

Well...except that it wasn't picked up by the network after the pilot. (Mostly because it was too original - which in my opinion is an oxymoron).

But, do not despair!

If you're willing to kill twenty minutes and you have an open mind, you can watch the pilot at the link below.

So. Go make some hot tea for the love and all that is holy and watch the damn show already.

You can thank me later.
