Steve Ekstrom's Interests
|
| General | Writing, talking to professionals about their experiences in the entertainment industry, Movies, Popular Culture, Politics, Local History, Adult Swim, Music, and anything that challenges my brain.
Oh yeah--COMIC BOOKS, COMIC BOOKS, & MORE COMIC BOOKS.
| | Music | I listen to anything once...so I guess I'm poly-musical. I prefer 60s and 70s R&B and Funk, 80s Pop...
| | Movies | Pretty much anything by Todd Solondz, Jeunet and Caro, the Coen Brothers, Noah Baumbach, Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, David Lynch and Tim Burton. Frank Miller's Sin City and 300, Entropy by Phil Joanou, John Carpenter's and Rob Zombie's Halloween. I'm addicted to anything with the word Criterion on the DVD box.
I hope to eventually try my hand at screenwriting. I love zombie flicks, period pieces, and documentaries.
| | Television | I watch wrestling and Curb Your Enthusiasm religiously. Now if I could just convince Larry David to turn pro-wrestler, I'd be set.
I enjoy pretty much any regualr show put out by HBO--they just know how to maintain good product.
Colbert Report and Daily Show are also a must. Real Time with Bill Maher is becoming a regular favorite as well.
| | Books | High Fidelity, Breakfast of Champions, Cyrano de Bergerac, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Art of War, Servant of the Shard, Private Parts, the Great Gatsby, Welcome to the Monkeyhouse, In the Company of Myself, and Ulysses.
I also read the Drizzt books by RA Salvatore from WotC and I love "tell alls" from the wrestling industry as well as some of the WWE's published biographies.
| | Heroes | Kurt Vonnegut, Frank Miller, Mike Mignola, James Joyce, Larry David, Ron Jeremy (see us chubby guys get laid), Josh McKinney, my Dad, Optimus Prime, the Hulk, the Zodiac Killer (just kidding, wanted to see if you read that and felt weird), the guy who invented the microwave burrito, Karyn Schlicht for carrying my baby; Dan Rather, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Will Farrell, the REAL Captain America--Steve Rogers, Steve Carrell, and William Shatner a.k.a "the Man Whore from Outer Space".

Steve Ekstrom's Blurbs |
About me:
Howdy, I'm Steve Ekstrom and I write stuff--real original huh? Well, I work as a journalist in the comic book industry for Newsarama.com, the award winning, #1 provider for news and information regarding comic books in the industry.
I have a beautiful little daughter named Katie--she's awesome; her very beautiful, very intelligent Mommy is better than "half bad"--she's pretty wonderful.
Here's a link so you can check out my work at Newsarama and Shotgun Reviews.
My first professional work in the comic book industry, BREAKFAST, was published in March 2008 in 803 Studio's annual horror anthology, Sequential Suicide. BREAKFAST will be reprinted in NEGATIVE BURN #20 this summer. I have a couple of creator-owned projects in the works as well as a second short horror story, HAUNTED AUTOBIO, which will see print very soon. I have been very blessed to work with artists Bob Rivard and Doug Draper on these projects. Trust me when I say that you'll be seeing more of us in the years to come.
Also check out my writing site over at Redroom.com--it's kind of like MySpace for writers. At RedRoom.com, I feature links to my published articles, excerpts from my comic book work, and I blog about writing in general and occasionally post poetry from my body of work.
Finally, if you're interested in more of a technical, "resume"-based look at me and my career interests; check me out on LinkedIn.com.

Who I'd like to meet:
Flight of the Conchords, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Frank Miller, Rob Zombie, William Shatner and anyone who wants to meet me (makes sense, right?), and time travelers from the future that come back to save me from catastrophe. Otherwise, I don't see why we should meet.
 Take the quiz:
Which Reservoir Dogs Character Are You?
Mr. Brown
You are Mr. Brown! Only one word can describe you: motormouth. You talk constantly, and lucky for the others, you get shot in the freaking head early on. By the way, you directed this masterpiece, so bravo to you.
