I personally find their films, if nothing else, wildly entertaining and never boring. R.I.P. John. Here's hoping you get a Spielberg-sized budget for your film about aliens invading Heaven.

RIP indeed, John Polonia. Title: Re: R.I.P. John Polonia Post by: SynapticBoomstick on March 05, 2008, 12:21:37 AM :buggedout:Nooooooo! ... :bluesad:a piece of me just died, the Polonia brothers are one of my favorite indie film teams. Rest in peace, John, on that Blood Red Planet in the sky.
Today sucks! First Gygax, now John Polonia? :hatred::drink: Title: Re: R.I.P. John Polonia Post by: Jack on March 05, 2008, 07:47:51 AM I just watched Carnage Road: The Legend of Quiltface the other day. Awful movie, but for some reason I was drawn to watch it again. Bummer. Only 39.

John Polonia Post by: Andrew on March 06, 2008, 09:14:17 AM His films really did tend to be terrible, but there is always something to admire in somebody who makes something, whatever it is. I have not made a film, meaning I have never tried, but he did. And he kept making them.
Fair winds and following seas to you, Mr. Polonia. |
