Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Final version of this opening paragraph. I had a mini-drama play out over the last few hours that prevented me from getting on the plane on Monday night, which means I won't get to see Tuesday's programming, which bums me out, but it's fine in the end because I spoke with Pierre Corbeil, director of the festival, and I'm headed out on Tuesday night, putting me into Montreal around 10:00 on Wednesday morning. Spiffy. That means it's official... I'm going to attend the final week of the FantAsia Film Festival, as strange a collection of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy films as you'll find unspooling anywhere on the planet right now. The debut of the English dub of CASTLE IN THE SKY, the anime METROPOLIS, my first chance to see JEEPERS CREEPERS with a crowd, and a ton of films I know nothing about!!

If any AICN readers in Montreal are eager to speak with The Professor while he's in town, I'd be most amenable to it, and encourage you to call The Delta Hotel at 514.286.1986 to get hold of me. Just ask for Professor Moriarty and leave your information. Or just come look for me at the screenings. You'll recognize me by the pink slippers and supplicant henchmen in tow. I'm going to try to hit pretty much everything that's showing, so I should be easy to track down.
I'm looking forward to this one as a great way to warm up for the Egyptian's Sci-Fi and Horror Festival, which starts pretty much as soon as I get back. Should be a great month of movies ahead, and a great trip north for this first batch.
"Moriarty" out.
