Grant Morrison Documentary
Lawrence 10.20.10
At New York Comic Con, I got a chance to check out a number of scenes from the upcoming documentary on writer Grant Morrison. Morrison’s best known for his creation, The Invisibles, but also for his reinvention of various comic characters for both DC and Marvel.
Morrison seems a fascinating character study, from consulting with John Lennon (yep, still deceased) to becoming the characters he creates, I’m sure editing the project down to documentary length will prove difficult.
Morrison explains a lot with his description of his formative years and lessons from his parents. His father was ex-military, but later become an anti-war activist. His mother looking into the night sky with young Grant pointed up to the stars and said, “We’re from there.”
Looking forward for to this final project titled, Talking With Gods, from filmmaker Patrick Meaney. Wired interviewed Meaney regarding the film back in July, around San Diego Comic Con. Here’s the link.
TRUE HIP-HOP STORIES.

D-Nice has been putting out these videos for a while now, they are called True Hip-Hop Stories. I might have posted one up in the past, but Chip actually brought them to my attention once again. They are really well put together, both the video quality and content is on point. It is refreshing to watch a hip-hop interview and not listen to some thugged out bull shit. I posted the interview with YZ because it was one of my favorites but you should check them all out. He did pieces with B-Real of Cypress Hill, Doitall, Masta Ace, Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick and a bunch of others. His website is http://www.d-nice.com and you can watch all the videos on his VIMEO page.
