80's movie question

Anyone out there remember a movie from the (early) eighties (I think) about a guy who accidentally designs a pair of jeans with two holes cut out where the back pockets should be? The ass-revealing jeans start a fashion craze; everybody is wearing them, and wacky hijinx ensue from there.

Ring any bells? I've got 3-1 odds Mr. Ninja comes through. I remember watching it on HBO like fifty times w/ my brothers but I can't remember what it was called.

The cycle begins anew...

Well, today is the big day for World War III and the most exciting day so far for my little writing career. I'm going to give it another day or two before I try to find any online reviews and see what people think, but I hope everyone enjoys the war. John Ostrander and I really did work our asses off to make this more than an 'event'.

I really came to admire John and his work, by the way.

While I've been lucky to line up enough writing work to keep me busy until 2008, none of it has really felt like an 'official' follow up to World War III. I guess that changed today.

Serendipitously, Dan Didio and Mike Siglain both called me today to offer me a pretty exciting project. It's...big...enough that I'm still wrapping my head around the overall concept, but there definitely seems to be plenty of room to do something memorable. and if I have my way, it'll make this World War look like a couple of school kids scuffling in the playground.

Because I haven't posted much lately, there are a bunch of random things I have tucked in the back of my head. I guess the first one I'll throw out there is that lately, I've started thinking about expanding my blog into a full-fledged website. I registered Keithchampagne.com a couple of weeks ago and now I'm sort of waiting to come up with some good ideas to make an actual website a little different and fun. If anyone has any good ideas, feel free to leave them in the comments section and I'll be happy to steal them.

Anyway, time for dinner. Talk to y'all soon.

WORLD WAR III

World War III begins (and ends) this Wednesday the 18th. I've been anxiously waiting for these books to ship and I hope everyone will enjoy the blood-soaked fruits of our labors.

I'll have more to say about World War III on Wednesday so for now, this is just a reminder to...

Check 'em out!

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to sign into my own blog for the last week and a half. Finally, I downloaded Netscape and this worked so maybe it's a problem with IE, I don't know. I've had more computer problems in the past month then I've had since I first got my Commodore 64 (Bard's Tale still rocks!)

Back shortly. Today is a deadline day but I have a ton of posts to catch up on, starting tonight or tomorrow.

Interview time

With World War III fast approaching, I've been doing the almost requisite interview rounds again.

Vaneta Rogers does her usual nice job over at Newsarama and I've learned she does not suffer fools who do not include her byline. So here's the link:

And here's an interview on Wizard about Book II, conducted by Brian Marmoth, mostly concerning Aquaman. He does whatever a fish can plus more, you know.
