Ray, Connie and Kim kiss and make-up!!

BTW, check out the front page of Filmland Classics for a good laugh. I believe Neal Adams actually still owns the copyright to this artwork, unlike the House of Secrets cover. This ought to be interesting.

If a bear sh*ts in the woods and nobody is there to smell it, does it still stink?

You'd have to ask the bear.

I've long believed that a significant number of his supporters have only been buying his FM because of the logo on the cover

Yeh, the rabid "give me anything, as long as it has the FM logo on it" collectors ain't gonna be stickin' around for "Shock".

It all still boils down to the same old thing,MONEY! Thats what the 3 of them are all about! You all no the old saying Money Talks and Bulls--t walks!

Hi, Mike, I too want the fans to know the true history and I am busy writing a biography of Forry which is going to cover his life and works.   I will try to make sure people know the facts about the Dynacomm horror.   It will not occupy a lot of the book but the subject will be discussed.  I was present for a portion of the court case.

He's certainly overdue for one! Keep us updated.

It is a pleasure to hear of someone doing a biography of Forry.  Long overdo and I wish you the best.  I'll be on the look out for publication updates.  Peace.

[Monster Kid]

Thank you so much!!  I knew Forry since 1983 and hope he would appreciate this book.  What a fascinating life.

some "other" boards may have decided to, with one voice, take a 180 degree turn and give 'ole Ray a big high five.  But I'm not, this was never just business with him

The jaw droppingly stupid "No 1 Ferry Fan" site

The jaw droppingly stupid "No 1 Ferry Fan" site

Yes, that's the one where Connie Bean insinuates that Forry is a child molester, a murderer (of his wife) and a blackmailer (may as well throw that one in, too) while offering no proof, of course.

But wait! That can't be the same Connie Bean everyone fawns over on some other sites, could it? Naw, it must be a different Connie Bean. What kind of person would let someone like that post on their site? Of course, it's not like she accused any of them of being/doing those reprehensible things. Just old Forry.

[CreepysFan]

 Connie Bean would make a great politician ... mud slinging without benefit of actual truth.  The really sad part is some people will accept her slander as fact because she said them, without even bothering to research anything.  This kind of malicious behavior is never very professional anytime, and definitely bad business ethics.

"LIFE IS BUT A SCREAM!" TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!
FM Editor Ray Ferry's Beast-Selling Book Coming To The Big Screen!
     Hold onto your bats, FM fans. "Life Is But A Scream!  The Movie!" is coming!  The film will cover all the major events featured in editor Ray Ferry's book "Life Is But A Scream!" plus the incredible post-trial story that nearly destroyed Ferry's life and the fight that ultimately brought down a massive criminal empire in California.
     To coincide with the film, there will be a brand new, updated edition of Ferry's book which will include the post-trial events to be published later this year. 



So I guess The Movie will never be made?

[Mike Scott]

"LIFE IS BUT A SCREAM!" TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!

I guess the title "Liar Liar" was already taken?

heh, heh. ha ha! HA! can't hardly say *this* is true anymore, eh? yes, you certainly don't want any 'tribute' sites out there, because 'tribute' means a rip-off. actually, a 'tribute' site is likely to favour forry, so, well, you do the math....

the only pic i got to download was of connie standing with feet apart and arms crossed. i thought it was judge judy without her robes on at first.

Ask any stranger on the street if they've heard of Famous Monsters magazine, and if they're over 35 or 40 they'll usually say 'Oh yeah, I remember that', or similar. Some will surely rejoice!
Ask them if they've heard of Forrest Ackerman, and while many might shrug, at least as many will certainly say they do. Some will surely rejoice!

Now go ask anybody on the street if they've heard of Ray Ferry.

Or Connie Bean. Or even Phil Kim.

The resoundingly silent, blank stare you will receive matches precisely the amount of 'give-a-damn' anyone of us should now have for whatever Ferry, Bean and Kim & Co. come up with.

It should also match the amount of give-a-damn anyone of us should have for anyone who defends or supports liars of any stripe.

The truth is on the side of the honest, and it is self-evident to all but the blindest or laziest of seekers.

Big words for a seemingly minor issue... but when family and friends are s*** on, and folks roll over to get their bellies rubbed by cowards and criminals, I get just a little annoyed.
