Book Club - Harlan Ellison: Dreams With Sharp Teeth

First off, our apologies for the belated nature of this episode. We were meant to discuss the documentary No Direction Home, but those bastards at Netflix done screwed up the audio... SO, instead we present our review of a different, but equally intriguing bio-documentary, "Harlan Ellison: Dreams With Sharp Teeth." I think you're gonna like it.



 PS. Be sure to come back next week for our discussion of Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly's We3, from Vertigo Comics. DON'T HAVE IT? Well, hit up our good friends at World Famous Treasure Island Comics in scenic Fremont, CA; or find your own local comic shop at ComicShopLocator.com.

Movie Recommendation - "Harlan Ellison: Dreams with Sharp Teeth"

This should be Darren's responsibility - making a movie recommendation, that is. Of course, it's my responsibility to see to it that he lives up to his responsibilities, at least so far as this whole ordeal is concerned. But that, if anyone in this cast of yahoos and frosted-flakes were ever honestly expected to live up to our responsibilities, everyone would just end up sorely disappointed.

But you know what WASN'T disappointing? 'Harlan Ellison: Dreams with Sharp Teeth,' the feature length bio-documentary from director Erik Nelson, starring Robin Williams, Neil Gaiman, Ronald D. Moore, as well as many more of Harlan Ellison's close friends and colleagues, not to mention Harlan Ellison himself.

WhO? Oh, sorry... Harlan Ellison, in addition to being a "grumpy old jew," is the multi-award winning author of hundreds of spectacular "imaginative fiction" short stories and novels, as well as some of the best episodes of sci-fi television ever to air, and editor of one of the best selling sci-fi anthologies ever, Visions of Danger.

"Dreams with Sharp Teeth" tells, in his own words as well as those of his closest friends, the very engaging and often hilarious story of his over 5 decade career. For anyone who has ever read, seen, or heard a Harlan Ellison story - and if you have even a strictly platonic relationship with sci-fi, you probably have and may not even realize it - this documentary offers an enlightening and entertaining look at the most prolific, hardest working, and most outspoken and crochety old man in sci-fi. Definitely check it out, it's on netflix instant watch right now.

And take that Darren, you lazy bum!
