Well Geeks, here's your chance to get into two different, but very coooooool flicks located on opposite sides of the good ol USA... SPIDERMAN and THE TIME MACHINE have both issued open casting calls for extras... If you live in these areas you ought to give it a try and be part of a very geeky experience... then when the films open sit back and enjoy your 2 or 3 seconds on screen... you'll love it... thats a promise from Father Geek.

Don't know if anyone has brought this forward(it's not a big deal in this town) but apparently Sam Raimi and the folks at Spiderman are wanting true comic lovers to be "unpaid" extras on Jan. 16-18 for a street fight between Spiderman(in prototype costume) and "Randy the Macho Man" Savage as unsaid villian.

They will pick you up at Golden Apple(@ 7am) and drop off around 6 pm. They are offering door prizes and lot's of food...I have a flyer that I can scan if you need something tangible. Like I said, it's not big earth-shattering news, but spread the word...lot's of west coast fans would like to know about it.
