GO Jim Jones! Woo!!

I LOVE when I get these sorts of emails, they are extremely rare for my site only because most people see exactly what I'm doing (it really is quite obvious, even to non-fans) and have no reason to take misinformed pot shots at the site or me personally.

I originally had a page on my site related to the Wilhelm Scream, it listed every movie and TV show I'd watched and found the WS, I also added the director and the sound man who inserted the now classic cult sound bite. It was called to my attention by none other than Steve Lee that he'd had his own list and site going with all the films and shows with the WS...many of which he'd inserted himself...Hollywood Lost and Found. I decided it was best to redirect to his site from mine. http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net/WilhelmScream.html
Like THX and Indiana Jones I added Wilhelm Scream references into my reference database, just for fun AND because the man who rejuvenated Sheb Wooley's "scream", Ben Burtt, had such a large involvment with the Star Wars franchise. Additionally, I felt that it would be great to get the sound a little more attention as it's fun to listen for! :D

Here's the message from Jim Jones (paul.byrd@fun.net):
you're an idiot... just because a movie uses the "Wilhelm scream" doesn't mean it's referencing Star Wars, that's the dumbest fucking thing i've ever seen....yeah a movie uses the wilhelm scream, they MUST be referencing Star Wars... here's a newsflash buddy, STAR WARS WASNT THE FIRST MOVIE TO USE THE WILHELM SCREAM!The first movie was Distant Drums. So maybe you should change your list to read that every movie using the Wilhelm scream is actually referencing Distant Drums...including Star Wars.

This is what happens when one doesn't have a clue about the facts and history of a site or anything else. :P

Very sad to report that Ms. Hewett (Senni Tonnika in Star Wars~1977) has passed away, she'll be missed by her family, her friends and all the acquaintances she met along the way.

Topps Heroes Preview Sheet!

Topps/NBC/Universal released the Seson One Trading Cards preview sheet (see above)

And, what a nice way to start the day, I found out that one of my cards was included on the Preview Sheet!

Peter Petrelli (in blue, bottom, second from the left)

My guess at this time for a release date is sometime in October. I heard somewhere that October 15th was the latest but one can never be too sure.

I drew a total of 56 cards for this set (many of the artists did around the same amount).

Thanks!

I'm Official...Star Wars Official...

Hello!

Lucky doesn't begin to describe how I feel right now. After 30 years it finally happened.

As an artist and a HUGE Star Wars fan it couldn't have been a nicer time to have been invited to participate in an artistic event for Topps' 30th Anniversary of Star Wars collector's card series coming out around mid-June.

I will be drawing 76 sketch cards for the upcoming set. Samples of which, once approved by Lucasfilm, will be posted here (links) for your perusal.

I just received my cards within the last 30 minutes so it will take a little time to get the ball rolling, the scans made, the approvals had and then back here.

If any of you have any questions feel free to ask me and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Since I am also working on two other card sets and am still slowly updating Nerf-Herders-Anonymous right now please forgive any delays that might be had in replying.

In the meantime I hope everyone enjoys all the celebrations (official and not) of this wonderful year and for those of you attending CIV and CE I will see you there!!

A very happy and official,
Leah Mangue
