In honor of our doc on Michael Parks hitting AVOD Tue, I'm releasing one rare piece of media from our Long Lonesome Highway archive each day.

Today: A free download of the cover song Nick Dellaposta made for the film, that due to budget, we had to cut.

I'll be honest, the 13 year old in me that used to go to PunkNews every time he found a computer still gets excited to read my name on the website.

I love @punknews.bsky.social.

Film Review: ‘Long Lonesome Highway: The Story of Michael Parks’ is a Lovely Tribute to a Criminally Underrated Actor - Awards Radar Awards Radar seeks to provide objective, thoughtful, and wide-ranging coverage of the awards season, as well as the entertainment world in general

I really liked Long Lonesome Highways: The Story of Michael Parks. @joshroush.bsky.social uses his own personal experience with Parks, as well as those who knew, loved, and worked with him, to tell this story. It’s a touching tribute. My review at Awards Radar:

Would love to see my fellow film-nerds in person, in a cinema, as god intended! #Documentary

A moving trip down memory lane at the LA Premiere of the Michael Parks documentary, Kevin Smith Presents Long Lonesome Highway 🛣️ Congrats to director @joshroush.bsky.social & the whole team on this beautiful film. A must watch and a great first visit to @whammyanalog.bsky.social!

Tour: ParksDoc.com

Dates pics, but I made a custom, upside down wood box and then weatherproofed the lid. Bought a Roku, home outdoor Bluetooth speakers, and have a Bluetooth audio adapter out of the projector.

I also hooked it up to a Raspberry Pi w/wireless controllers so I can play Nintendo games.

Check out the new music video I directed for The Raging Nathan's! Thanks to @tgefm.bsky.social for posting!

Respect the opinion, but honestly Rollins is my favorite singer for the band, I just think he was better live than in studio, the energy translated better.

Not that I saw them mind you, going off of old bootlegs and stuff like Who's Got the 10 1/2.

I think Rollins with Kira was peak Black Flag.

Los Angeles! I'm going to screen my new documentary on Michael Parks on April 12th at Whammy Analog Media with Exec-Producer Kevin Smith!

Tickets are only $15, hope to see you there! #LosAngeles #Film #DIY

Good on you. I've done that with movies and records.

I'm not saying #Severance isn't amazing.

All I'm saying is I watched y'all shout like this about Lost and was glad I didn't buy into the hype.

If y'all ain't doing anything tomorrow, I'll be running the Aimless Pinball Livestream starring Kevin Smith!

They'll be playing the new #dungeonsanddragons pinball game he did a voice on!

Sunday at 1pm PST!

All in all, even though this is not really Constantine as the character goes, it's a great movie that really holds up (for the most part). Had a blast rewatching this and please, gimme a sequel.

Back before Marvel, this was as close as we got to a proper comic book movie.

Spent all day w/the Constantine 4k release.

Observations:
-Always loved this flick, even though it's not authentic "Constantine".
-There's a Jay & Bob reference?
-The dialogue sounds like it was recorded in a reverb tank.
-Had no idea there's a whole deleted Michelle Monaghan subplot.

It's a coincidence that the #LuigiMangione court appearance is the same day that our music video comes out, but I lobbied hard to get this reference in it.

As the director of the video, not a representative of Empired, I believe the man is a hero.

For all you Southern Californians, you are cordially invited to Supply and Demand in Long Beach tonight to watch me play a few songs with my boys Empired!

Having almost as much fun making promos for Empired's music video drop on Friday as I did the video itself.

Last year I was confused when my neighborhood 7-11 installed blacklights on the block.

I was today years old when I learned that it's due to prostitution in the area and showing the customer... where other customers have frequented.

North Hollywood for the win?

Just delivered the final feature, trailer, and artwork for Long Lonesome Highway: The Story of Michael Parks. Can't yet update you on where or when you will see it.

For good or ill, the old man was an American original who did it his way. We carried the documentary in the same fashion in his honor.

That is the most accurate way I have ever heard it put. Kudos!

Then, the next thought is, "Well, what kind of hell can we next wonder into and conquer?"

Hello! You work in film as well?

Agreed, nothing better than when you finally walk away from the project and are able to know you did the best job you possibly could.
