Mr. McCollum

The world is kept turning by storytellers, and should the stories end, everything will be over.

About Me

I like used book stores, dive bars, old movies, and comic books.Currently, I'm writing a horror film called TREEHUGGER. It's pretty gross.I've also been known to paint here and there too. Check it out and buy a print or two. I'm starving. There's only one up now, but there'll be more. Just in case this screenwriting thing doesn't work out, ya know?

My Interests

Art, movies, weird stuff.

I'd like to meet:

France Gall

Music:

I'm a little bit country, and a little bit rock 'n roll.

Movies:

Too many to mention! I'm a friggin' film freak!

Television:

Not so much these days.

Books:

Anything by Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, HG Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs, etc. I also read ALOT of comics.

Heroes:

My mom.

So I'm putting IMPERIAL HWY. on hold for the time being. I've decided that it would be a film that could only be made by someone more established. If it were to be made now by a bunch of first-timers&...

The West in the 21st Century

Nostalgia, Novelties, and other Curiosities

I spent part of my weekend digging around our storage unit looking to see what stuff I have I can get rid of or sell. While on my mission to get rid of stuff, I found a few things that I just had to t...

Bollocks!

I think I need glasses. I can't see a fucking thing anymore. I've been having the worse time trying to read small print, or things from a far distance. Plus, my eyesight is pretty dodgy in the morning...

Burn, Hollywood, Burn!

Dear Hollywood, For the love of Mike, please stop churning out these horrible remakes that you insist on shoving down our throats. Both film and television are vast palletes with plenty of room for ne...

"Sometimes good guys don’t wear white."

Nobody ever roots for the guy who always succeeds. Who wants to cheer on someone who has never fucked up? Let alone had to struggle and work hard towards a goal? I won't. If someone never does anythi...

"To a new world of gods and monsters!"

I've been stuck on how I'm going to end IMPERIAL HWY. Do I want everyone to ride off into the sunset at the end? The main character to get royally fucked? Or is there a happy medium somewhere on the h...
