    There have been 46 releases in the Marco Polo film series. They have combined sales of over a million copies. True or false.

    TRUE, probably.
    I am extremely serious.

    I think that may actually be TRUE, Tom.
    It sounds very reasonable.

    The answer is false. With the exception of one release which had 20,000 in sales most of them were 10,000 copies or less. This turned out to be a loser as far as Naxos was concerned. Keep in mind that the company has had million copy sellers.

    I doubt that John got paid for his fine reconstruction work. Keep in mind that there were several trips to Moscow involved for 3 people. It goes to show how little interest there is in these recordings when one Debussy album outsold all of them.

    That's why I changed my answer to FALSE, I had a good think and thought about sales of FSM, Intrada scores etc and in comparison a lot of the Marco Polo scores aren't popular ones on the whole, it made sense to me that it was under a million. I agree with Martijn, it IS very disappointing.

    And if you couple that with a single Debussy release selling a million copies it becomes even more interesting.

    Not true or false but a trivia question. Universal had three of their best horror movies in the 30's with Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy. Can you name something that linked them together?

  17. Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff. I forgot which one.

    It would be Lugosi, Karloff wasn't in Dracula.

    Actually, thinking a bit more now, Lugosi wasn't in The Mummy.

    I'll guess at the link being Tchaikovsky's music.

    Heh. Easy (I think; if I read Tom's question correctly): the wolfman was the only monster ever to be played by only one actor, Chaney Jr., in the old Universal flicks. Both Dracula and Frankenstein had several interpreters (Lugosi even trying for the monster once!).

    This talk of monsters makes me think of something I've wanted to ask before: is any of you familiar with painter Bob Eggleton? If not, let me introduce him, because I think you monster/comic/dino/dragon-lovers would love it.

    A couple of years ago I found a book with dragon paintings and when I opened it I fell in love immediately. Couldn't get my eyes from the images so I bought it. I searched for more on the internet and now I own a couple of Bob Eggleton books! He is a fantasy/sci-fi/horror/space painter and he is awesome. Last year I looked him up on facebook and started following him as a friend. A good decision because he is very active on facebook and he posts sketches, new paintings and other interesting stuff quite a lot. Great fun. OK, he posts at least ten posts a day, including very personal ones about all his 'issues', but I got used to that and read and enjoy those or simply skip them.

    He also posts a lot of music videos from the older days, he's a huge movie fan, even some film music, but mostly (that's why I think of you people) he posts ANYTHING Godzilla, alien, Cthulu, space, dino, dragon or comic related.

    I wish I could show you the paintings I love most, but I better direct you to his blog, where he uploads news and new sketches and projects:
    http://bobsartdujour.blogspot.nl/

    Perhaps later on I'll take the time to post my favourite paintings, if they are on the internet.

    The books I own are:

    Dragon's Den
    Greatings from Earth
    Dragon Paint Studio
    Stranger Studies Sketchbook
