Lincoln Memorial Dedication

Posted on: April 28th, 2009 by wmapother 1 Comment
It was just two hundred short years ago that Abraham Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky.  In honor of the bicentennial, my hometown of Louisville commissioned a memorial 
to him for its Waterfront Park, on the banks of the Ohio River.  On June 4 the City will hold a dedication ceremony, and yours truly has been invited to perform the narration for Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.”  Memorial and dedication details are here.  Lincoln, Copland, Louisville…Mapother.    Hmmmmm.

Burrowers Released on DVD

Posted on: April 22nd, 2009 by wmapother 2 Comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or kidnapped by pirates, and, probably, even if you have been, you’ve heard that ‘The Burrowers’ is now out on DVD. The trailer on YouTube is here. It’s probably already sold out, checked out, rented out, and worn out everywhere you’d want it, but in case some genre geek is able to scrounge you up a copy, here are some links to possible outlets: Netflix, Blockbuster, and, for those who absolutely, positively must own it, Amazon. So why are you still reading this? Get thee scrounging!

Burrowers Trailer Released

Posted on: April 14th, 2009 by wmapother 4 Comments

In anticipation of next week’s DVD release of The Burrowers, Lionsgate has posted the official trailer for the film here, hosted by the kind folks at Shock Till You Drop. I’d be a dang liar if I said I wasn’t a bit disappointed that audiences weren’t going to see this Horror-Western on a big screen. (It looks terrific that large, and them dirt-dwellers, well, seein’ them babies at 50 feet high ain’t gonna be helpin’ your dreamin’ none. And isn’t that why you see them sorta picture shows?) Regardless, JT Petty and the gang made a fun fusion of the two genres, one I really enjoyed…almost as much as I enjoyed gettin’ paid to ride horses.
