Tell me about our new boys
Has anyone ever noticed a similarity between Paul banks (Interpol) and Ian Curtis (Joy Division)? I was listening to Wilderness, Shadowplay, Stella was a driver and C’mere then it dawn on me how alike their vocals are. The tone, range, weight, what ya think?
Hi FMV Fans,
Just wanted to bring your attention to a passion project that is fantastic and deserves more eyes. Paul who played Curtis Craig in Phantasmagoria 2 A Puzzle of Flesh is doing a verbal history, behind the scenes and interviews with cast and crew for the 25th anniversary of the game. If you are a fan of FMV this a great piece of history to revisit!
Link below for the first episode!
For fans of Sierra's 90's FMV adventure output, there's something in the works that should be a lot of fun. Paul Morgan Stetler, who played Curtis Craig in the '96 Sierra FMV adventure Phantasmagoria 2 - A Puzzle of Flesh, is putting together a series of monthly livestreams collecting together the cast and crew of the game for a retrospective in celebration of the game's 25th anniversary.
Here's the Patreon set up to help cover the expenses, and the Facebook page where he's posting news updates regularly. Also Announcement Vid #1 and Announcement Vid #2.
Definitely something to keep an eye on, and supporting where possible. Bound to be a few good stories to come of it.
UPDATE #1 - The date for the livestream has been confirmed for Wednesday April 14th 2021 at 4pm PST! Check out the newest announcement vid and spread the word.
And if so, what episode did he mention it?
The news came a while ago:
But as it will be next week's episode where Curtis features this is a reminder post in case anyone wants to watch it! He'll be coaching (alongside his brother) the queens on dancing and choreography.
This is a great historical-fiction novel taking place during the civil rights movement in which a family from Flint, MI travels to Birmingham, AL where they experience a fictionalized version of the 16th Street church bombing.
In light of the death of Thomas Blanton, one of the individuals responsible for the bombing, I wanted to recommend this book. I happened to attend the same school as the author/narrator and read this book in middle school. It was one of the first books to have a strong emotional effect on me and has always stuck with me.
E - Christopher, because I can't change the title.
Zur Erinnerung: Vor etwa einem Monat hab ich auf Paul Setler's Youtube-Kanal, bzw. Projekt aufmerksam gemacht. Mittlerweile (vor drei Wochen) hat er (wenn er es denn ist) in einem Youtube-Kommentar zu dem Bohnen-Ansturm reagiert:
Hello to all of you Rocket Beans folks out there. This is Paul (Curtis Craig) and I just want to thank you all for the kind comments about Phantasmagoria 2 (as well as this current project of mine, Letters Aloud). It's been almost 20 years since we filmed that game and its crazy to think how many people all over the world have played it and enjoyed it (and made fun of it!!!) since then. It seems like every couple years a new generation of gamers discovers it and I'm just glad it's still entertaining folks after all this time. As you can imagine, it was a crazy experience filming it. Anyway, I hope whatever it is you all are doing has been fun and I appreciate the unexpected activity on this IndieGogo video we shot last year. (I just wish you discovered it back in July when we were still taking donations. Oh, well.) Take care and all the best. -Paul
