Doug, thanks! I too am a big Forry fan (weird to be a fan OF a fan, eh?), and the similarities between he and George were just too great to ignore in my mind. I grew up a HUGE sci-fi/horror fan, and worshiped at the altar of Tom Savini… I would have loved to pursue that path, but the four-wheeled monster kept “drawing” me back! Glad to see we share another common interest! (hmmm… perhaps a new Forum here? “Motion Picture Motorburg”?)
Thanks again for checking in…. Glad to be a part of it all!

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it… A little off the beaten path for sure, but I was hoping someone would dig the odd coincidences and similarities as much as I do!

Thanks, man! It was a fun, quick piece that managed to tie a couple of things I love together in one place… with some kind of theme, anyway! Thanks for checking it out and taking time to comment as well!

WOW what a great read Brian! I was wondering how you were going to tie old Forry into this site. Been a huge fan of his for ages. I used to do SFX makeup back in the day so knowing about him was essential

I’ll admit Doing the car thing now is a very different line of work but I still pull influences from my Scifi Roots.

Great stuff!

Problem Child! Too cool you dig SciFi. Me too. We have that huge convention in Atlanta, Jarja perfectly named, “DRAGONCON.” It’s September 4-7 this year (2009). I’ve been several times to meet stars and artist. Fellas just like Forrest Ackerman are regularly featured guests.

Leonard Nimoy is coming this year. He’s like, the Godfather of inbred aliens. Well, his character Spock is. I read his book, “I Am Spock.” I did not read his previous book, “I Am Not Spock.”

I enjoyed reading this article, Brian. It’s a nice sidestep from cars and you brought it relevance by tying uncle Barris in. Encore…
