So many books and so little time. CAMERA MAN: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century by Dana Stevens is a must read on my to-do-list. After listening to Dana on the Marc Maron show, the highly intelligent writer has got my interest. It also helps that I am a fan of Buster Keaton.

Rare James Garner movie The Pink Jungle out on Blu-ray

The Pink Jungle was released in 1968, a few movies before the pre-Rockford James Garner decided to hit the small screen with his graceful charm. Largely forgotten, this long-sought adventure-comedy is getting the royal treatment from Kino Lorber Cinema. The film was based on the novel Snake Water by Alan Williams, published in 1965. At the time of release, The Los Angeles Times called it an "uninspired comedy." Time has been more friendly to The Pink Jungle, it's a diamond in the rough for collectors.

Ren & Stimpy: The Almost Complete Collection

Some might argue there is no SpongeBob SquarePants without Ren & Stimpy. The Nickelodeon show from the 90s revolutionized animation to the chagrin of parents. There are elements of early SpongeBob that owes to Ren & Stimpy. Ren & Stimpy relied on vulgarity and offence to capture its audience. This new collection of Ren & Stimpy is the best priced collection put together. The almost complete series is short six episodes from the ill-advised Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon (also known as Ren and Stimpy: The Lost Episodes) from Spike TV. This is a perfect collection for those viewing the series for the first time.
