Nick Schlegel, a delightful man who I have known for several years, recently finished his Ph.D. Unlike, it seems, a lot of film scholars, he really loves movies and television. When we first talked about film I was surprised that he was knew a lot about and enjoyed musicals, documentaries, animated TV shows and a bunch of other stuff that was definitely not part of his field. He knows his specialty, Spanish horror films and their counterparts in Italy and England, dead sold perfect. Anything he can't tell you about Mario Bava, Jess Franco, Paul Naschy or Dario Argento probably isn't worth knowing.
Take a look at Nick's under construction website that shows some of his work behind the camera as well as the academic projects.
Once again Ed, my many thanks to you for your support and friendship over the years. I'm lucky to call you "friend." How bout a cup of coffee next week or two!?
