Alan Kistler’s Profile on: Donna Troy
For an extended/updated version of this article, check out Kistler’s web-site. Let’s face it.

Why are J-LO and Jessica Simpson famous?
Payola Shocker: J-Lo Hits, Others Were ‘Bought’ by Sony I remember thinking, back in college, how I was going to keep up with pop music so that I would be different from my dad. When my kids talked about a singer, I’d know who they were talking about. Then, around 1995 or so, popular music …

Why You Should Respect Christopher Reeve
This is sort of a personal story. Rather than a news entry or even one of my typical Kistler comedy/parody interviews, think of it more as an op-ed piece. A personal column of sorts. Over a year ago, I got my friends Becca and Lisa into comic books. Since then, I have given them comic …

What the Comic-Con Saw
I say it again, the movie Stealth is probably fluff, but it sure does look good! If you’re still doubtful, you can check out the STEALTH COMIC-CON SIZZLE PIECE. But be warned, this is one of those trailers that pretty much gives away the whole movie except for the ending.

Names for wars
This is off-topic, granted, but I’m a writer and every now and then I’m struck by the peculiar usage of words and phrases. That’s why, as soon as I saw this AP article entitled “Poll: Americans Say World War III Likely”, I was baffled by the title. They think World War III is likely? We’re …
