Time waster

Hey. This Steve Canyon DVD. I got it from Netflix. But they had only 4 segments. I wanted more so I bought the DVD they also offer with 12 segments. Not available from Netflix. Probably repeating these 4 segments. But I needed more. Great, high quality images from 35mm film. If you're into aircraft at all, this is just porn. Awesome stuff and strong, manly stories. Manly I tell you.

MANLY MEN!

  3. I have a few collected Steve Canyons...they definitely capture that "Dawn of the Jet Age" feel. And very unpredictable story-telling--a lot of off-beat or downright bummer endings.

    Fascinating to see how the strip's origin as a daily leads to a sort of inch-worm progression in the books, with most every strip reprising just a fraction of the previous installment. Like how old TV shows would bridge the commercial--you'd cut away to break on one shot, then return to the same scene from a different camera angle, and then the action would resume.

  5. I swear to God. Yesterday, Wednesday morning, I spent copying some of the Steve Canyon into mp4 . Then I decided to order the DVD of the first season. Today, Thursday, the DVD was in my mailbox. Amazing.
