January, 2021 - Diary of an Ardent Fan

I spoke to another favorite of mine today.

Mr. John Carpenter. Director/writer/producer/composer/musician.

I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time.

Assault On Precinct 13, Halloween, The Fog, Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, Prince Of Darkness, Memoirs Of An Invisible Man, Escape From LA, Ghosts Of Mars, and more.

In recent years, he’s spent more time making instrumental albums and doing concerts.

He has a great concert Blu-ray called John Carpenter Live Retrospective.

I preordered his latest instrumental album called Lost Themes III. It’s out next month. I have his other two Lost Themes albums and they’re very good.

It’s actually his birthday today too!!

Happy Birthday Mr. Carpenter!!!!

Hopefully I’ll actually meet him at a ComicCon for real someday and see a concert of his.

Anyway, here is my chat with Mr. John Carpenter and some pictures!!

I actually got to speak to someone I really like today via the Internet.

Actor/director/producer/writer Dolph Lundgren did a chat on GalaxyCon today and after the regular chat he did some one on one chats with people.

I was one of those people.

I’m not sure if this video will work on here but give it a try.

I was having technical difficulties beforehand for awhile but it worked in time.

He’s a great guy and he’s made a lot of good movies, not just Rocky IV.

Masters Of The Universe, The Punisher, Showdown In Little Tokyo, I Come In Peace, Joshua Tree/Army Of One, 3 Universal Soldier movies, The Killing Machine/Icarus, Diamond Dogs, Jill The Ripper, Kindergarten Cop 2 (no not a sequel but a fun movie), Aquaman, The Expendables 1-3, Creed 2, and so many more.

Check out the video.

I have also posted autographed pictures I received from Dolph, courtesy of GalaxyCon and Wizard World.
