What makes me tick and where I come from- Was born the same year that DR. NO (1962) premiered. His first movie, viewed at age 3 was MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS(1958), which led to a series of recurring nightmares with a floating hand ...and was hooked on monster movies and Famous Monsters from that moment on. By age 8 he had his own movie theater and ran it successfully for sveral summers in his garage. All thanks to 8mm sound projector and good old Castle and Blackhawk films. He appeared as a background actor/extra in Fear No Evil(1981) -a film that domninated the Drive-In ciscuit that year at the boxoffice. He some how knew marketing and promotions would play a very important role in his film-loving life. He has worked for Time Warner and Regal Entertainment (QUANTUM OF SOLACE[2008] was his 2nd promo job!)and knows there 's nothing wrong with reading comic books and watching cartoons well into your 50s. He loves writing and claims that's what keeps his brain all squishy and nimble-like.

Never a negative, if I am discussing any subject in the written word regarding all that is entertainment it will ne positive. I figure it this way if it's not here it may not be worth my time writing about it... and it takes less energy to be happy and upbeat than it does tobe negative.

Keep it simple-that goes along way. Make it fun and informative. Something my English teacher -Mrs Bear was very big on. One of my mentors in life and education.
Herbie J Pilato- upbeat and the most positive person I know... an incredible source of uplifiting vibes, a wealth of pop culture runs through his veins and we share the same passion all things TV Guide and Television Pop Culture. His one quote is "Television worth saving/preserving." When he discussing a classic show from the past that has extreme value in culture and mores. A well read author.
