A BIG THANK YOU!

A big thank you to everyone who took time to vote in the Pulp Factory Awards. An even bigger THANK YOU to those who voted for me, Snow Drive, and/or The Ruby Files. It was, and is, appreciated. We don't know the winners yet, but as soon as I find out, win or lose, I'll post them here to congratulate the winners and nominees because there are no losers on that ballot.

Thanks again.

Casting Rick Ruby 2018! (Sean plays director)

In honor of Rick Ruby being nominated for the Pulp Ark Awards, let's have some fun and cast the Rick Ruby movie. (and if you haven't voted yet, here's the link: https://tinyurl.com/ybxlyey7)

My (Sean's) choices using contemporary actors:


Rick Ruby
Damien Lewis


Evelyn Johnson
Gugu Mbatha-Raw


May Belle Williams
Christine Adams


"Broom Stick" Strickland
Clarke Peters 


"Mac" McGinnis
Bruce Greenwood


Donna Dixon
Anna Lynne McCord


Edie Rose Adams
Typhaine Daviot


Carla St. Clair
Elizabeth Henstridge


Robert Perry
David Boreanez

Making this a movie in the 50s, 60, or even 70s would have been a lot easier to pick actors for me, but using contemporary actors was a lot harder. I tend to follow the older ones or still think of the 30-something ones as "Disney kids." *grins*

We'll give Bobby a few days to get back from his convention, and see what he has to say about it (and maybe even give his choices).
