While
the PopCult e-mail bins are often filled to bursting with letters,
most of them are missives from anxious money launderers in Zimbabwe. But
we also receive many suggestions for websites to check out. While these
sites often prove to be interesting in one way or another, most don't
quite make it as "Website of the Week" material. I am ever searching for
the right combination of graphics, content, appeal, uniqueness, and pop-culture
relevancy, and that isn't easy to pull off. So, while many of these sites
are indeed worthy in one or more aspects, I must beg the forgiveness of
their webmasters for not writing them up.
But
let the readers decide, I say! Here are the site suggestions as I received
them. Hit those links and tell me what you think. Whichever site gets
the most requests from PopCult readers will be designated the People's
Choice Website of the Week with the same glorious Q&A interview. Which
site would you like to learn more about?

'The Double-D Avenger'

Haji, Raven
De La Croix, and Forrest J Ackerman.
It's been a success
on VHS and DVD, and is now one of the top 20 'cult movie' sellers on Amazon.com.
(Please
note that 'The Double-D Avenger' is a Russ Meyer star 'reunion movie.'
It is not directed by Mr. Meyer, nor associated with his company RM Films

Why hello their fellow
Pop Culture Junkie. My fetish is not books or magazines, but locations.
I travel around the USA and Canada and stop at all those places your parents
would never stop at, regardless of how much you screamed from the back
seat, like the biggest ball of twine, or the worlds largest ketchup bottle.
Stop by www.amuckinamerica.com
take a look around and let me know what you think.

In the '80s, dark
and mature graphic literature thrilled North American readers eager for
something to reflect the more serious tone of modern life. Work like Alan
Moore’s WATCHMEN, Frank Miller’s DARK KNIGHT RETURNS,
and Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN challenged the common view that
‘comics’ were just for kids.
Now, the web offers
the opportunity for the medium to evolve. Enter "cinematic literature"
— enter BROKEN SAINTS.
Hope you enjoy it!

Just suggesting a
site that might qualify as a pop culture item.
It's www.daddyagogo.com.
Please check it out
and listen to some of the songs and read along with the lyrics on the
music page. Pop culture references abound, like in songs "I Wanna Be An
Action Figure" and "Nice Mare on Elm Street" and "Guitars on Mars" and
"Out In The Garage" which got airtime on Dr. Demento recently.
A writer referred
to my songs as Bullwinkle-esque, and I took that as a pretty nice thing
to say.
Thanks

(Hello, DeScopers!
Sorry if you've received two -- gad, or more -- mailings of this. Here's
a surprise: we're having mailing list mail problems. Aw, well . . .)
Sit back, deflate
your shoes and get ready for the simulated exhilaration of
. . .
DeScope #13!
Hot'cha!!!
That's right, smoker,
tokers, and DeScopers, after what seems like five months of waiting, waiting,
waiting, and always - oh! So patiently! - the time has come to release
to the world like a maurading hord of wind-up monkeys, it's the big, nasty,
gnarly DeScope - A Cranky Journal of Themed Entertainment and Design,
lucky number 13!
So, will it all have
been worth the wait when next you dial up:
http://www.descope.com/
?
Hey, very likely
(if all the reports of this being an age of lowered expectations is true,
anyway). In this thrill, chill, and crankiness-filled issue, you will
find:
