Hooray! We have reached 1987! You see, 1987 was the year SC Films started.. and it was all due to the fact that my very cool brother Lafe worked all summer long to pay for the rental of a top of the line 8mm video camera from the video rental kings at Granada. He was making two epic low budget feature length films, but while he was at work every day, and actually most evenings, me and Terry were sneaky using this video camera to make our own films. We made probably 100 films that summer, and I even started doing my very first stop motion animations.. which was quite a huge task on that video camera.. click the button twice really fast, then press play, go back like 6 frames, go back to camera mode... for each frame... We made a ton of horror movies, because we were at this point deeply obsessed with all kinds of slasher films. Here is a trailer from 'The Sleepover' which was basically Terry in a Jason mask killing his friends at a sleepover. Please note my ultra cool home made SC Comics T-Shirt, and probably the greatest bathroom death scene in the history of the world.
Also enter the era of Blaise and Ryan's version of the Electric Oinks. It was crazy, screaming, bizarre subject matter, and hilarious. Actually everything that I did with Ryan Terlaak was either hilarious, or offensive in some kind of fantastic way. Our first EO album together was 'Babies with 9 heads'
The amount of comic production this year was probably the greatest of all time as well, and included like 30 issues of SC Magazine, that me and Terry banged out in one strange night. Anyway, SC was having a very good year indeed.
In 1986 we again were making crazy amounts of comics, and also having a rivalry with another comic group in the school, Laser comics.. one of our members took off and started it up, however it was short lived and in the end SC triumphed over all. Trevor moved away but continued the SC ways out on the west coast, and in the land of EO, I made a pretty complicated record, using tons of over dubs and echo and strange stuff, it was called 'My Larynx got ripped out by a Puma' and it was the last EO album I was to ever make alone. On August 27th 1986 we had our first SC Anniversary celebration for our 3 years of existence, I recall doing some 'blaise' dancing in my basement.. it's kind of like break dancing, only it looks more like an epileptic fit.
1985 was basically a massive year of making comics and expanding the mighty SC empire.. people like Trevor Phillips and Barrett Pedersen were in my basement on a daily basis slaving away making comics under the SC name. EO was continuing. though I believe it was mostly just me making the tapes at this point. I also recall trying to start up a new band with some other people that was called The Leather Teddy Bears... Sounds kind of like gay erotica at this point, but back when were were like 9, it really didn't. Me and Terry invented our staple superheroes Stensor and Exxon.
1984 was the year that SC Music started. And it started with a song I wrote called Cat is Psycho, which was essentially about a cat that I had who kind of went psycho and started trying to kill all the other living things in the house. So I thought a song should be written to commemorate such an exciting event. So I made the song, using all kinds of exciting tape to tape dubbing techniques, and it was so much fun I made a whole 90 minute cassette of songs. My friend Clayton also helped with some of them, and we named it The Electric Oinks (EO for short.) That started the whole thing with making music...
Oh, and we were still making tons of comics.. for a while it was called T-B SC Comics (Terry, Blaise) and then T-B-C SC Comics (The C is for Chris.. though I can't honestly remember him ever making an actual comic.) SC was becoming a bit of a club for our friends.
I am officially starting to get all nostalgic about SC with it's 30th Anniversary coming up in about a month, so I am going to try to post a new article every day until then.. going through the 30 years of SC awesomeness. (I was pretty productive most of those years.. but I can't guarantee more than a couple sentences sometimes... First up is our first year 1983. That was the year Return of the Jedi came out, and in a way I blame that, as well as my massively creative brother and sister for the creation of SC Entertainment... you see after Return of the Jedi came out, and I went to go see it, my imagination went wild and I needed to create things.. I was already a huge fan of comics so I started there.. I started making my own Star Wars comics.. and also my very first superhero Captain Trash. Me and Terry were already friends, and our love of Star Wars and drawing turned us into a team.. and on August 27th we were sitting on his front steps and we came up with a name for our comic company, and it was Super Cool Comics... (SC for short. Keep in mind, we were freaking 7 years old!)
A couple weeks after that happened, Elaine Boyling was born from the midichlorians of SC's creation.
30 years is a long time, and we plan to celebrate in the traditional SC way.. forcing our friends to watch us play music, and make them sit through screenings of our films.. all the while drinking way too much. August 24th is the day of excitement.. there is a facebook event with all the info, and if you actually wanna come, please send me a message and I will give you all the details.
The exciting part of all this is there is going to be some crazy special live performances that you may not get to see ever again...
Dads with no Face / Die Spinne
Fukachuk Egg Machine
Elaine Boyling / Saurus Woman
and maybe if you're really lucky EO will play as well...
A line up like that only happens once ever 30 years... so get in it man!!
Go check it out.. the greatest adventure ever told.. and a whole lot of hard work from me and a bunch of my friends. Beefart & Cheenkaw are up against their greatest challenge yet!
Thank you to everyone who came out to see us at the comic expo this year. We had tons of fun and lots of copies of world of the uncanny and our other films are now in the hands of people who really need them (including Sylvester McCoy.) Our panel was a surprising success (surprising to me anyway) and if you missed it it is now uploaded for you to see.
World of the Uncanny is now officially available to the public.. to order your copy, please send $12 through paypal to kolodychuk@gmail.com...
Just one last reminder to anyone who is going to the Comic Expo this year to please make sure to come to our discussion panel 'making your own entertainment' Friday at 5:30 in the rotary house. And while you are there come and get a copy of my new movie.. and tell everyone you know to do the same... for crying out loud, I don't have a job for the summer, people!
Okay, so the last bit of news from LAST YEAR was that we were about to start filming on the major feature length motion picture 'WORLD OF THE UNCANNY' well the good news is that we actually made the movie... in total it was something like 6 months worth of work, and it is actually the greatest achievement of my life.. probably. But I will get to that in a moment.. I would like to explain myself first. I can't remember the last time I have got this long with neglecting and updating this website.. I haven't even sent out SC Newsletter e-mail updates.. and I imagine lots of websites all over the world are suffering for this exact same thing. I blame facebook. yeah.. it's easier, it gets to the people who actually are interested in the info.. and people go on there 50 times a day every day.. I have no idea how often people visit this website, but I bet it sure is less than they go on facebook. So that's my excuse, I do stuff on facebook now, and have left my beautiful website to fend for itself. I am a bad man.
Anyway, back to the news.. first off there was an amazing reunion of SC's very first music group, The Electric Oinks. Yes, Terence and myself spent several weeks recording a ridiculously amazing double album of beauty and horror.. it is called Secret Eyes.. and it is available to download for free.. we wouldn't think of charging you for this music.. it is actually probably against the law for us to do so.. anyway.. go and get it!
And now on to the most amazing movie ever made: WORLD OF THE UNCANNY
Months of shooting and editing and painstaking special effects and every challenge you could possibly imagine are over and what's left is something so good you will be telling your grandchildren where you were when you saw it for the first time. The staples of SC Entertainment heroics, Beefart & Cheenkaw are back to fight the evils of the world another time.. only this time they are going to the root, the villain so villainous that other villains consider him a villain. Nathaniel Weisberg. Not only that, but Bo-Bo comes back, the whole world is thrown into an alternate reality of strangeness there is the amazing super hero The Mosquito (Paige Morrison), and Beefart and Cheenkaw have two new assistants, the lovely and talented Marla (Emmelia Taylor) and Silk (Jeff Robertson) Flying saucers, cannibal dream monsters and more round out this amazing 2 hour long sci-fi horror action comedy drama documentary. Check out the trailer!
And that brings me to our final bit of news... where and how you will be able to see this movie! Well the official release will be at this year's Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. We will be there stationed at the Scorpio TV booth.. where you can get loads of cult and hard to find discs... heck, if you ask us nice enough, we will autograph it for you when you buy it. The DVD comes with some exciting audio commentary by me and Terence... and for a couple more bucks you can get the delux edition that comes with a second disc that is packed with bonus features.
Not only will be be there selling you the greatest film of all time, but we were also invited to do a panel discussion about us and how we have been making such amazing things for the last 30 years without any outside help from the world whatsoever, and how nothing is impossible, and you can make all your b-movie dreams come true if you want to! We will be having the panel at the Rotary House at 5:30 Friday April 26th. I expect you all to come check it out... On the panel will be myself and Terence, Elaine, and Jeff and Emmelia, our two new mainstays here at SC Entertainment..
Oh yes.. in other news, Me and Elaine, aka Dinojubilee, aka Death Ray Gun, aka Lost Worlds, aka the two people who have been putting every bit of our lives in to SC Entertainment for the last 13 or 14 years are going to be getting married in May.. It should prove fun and exciting.
This massive project begins shooting on October 13th, and I couldn't be more excited! Already plagued with problems and huge things that needed to be overcome.. we are still ready to go and prepared for the worst! This is easily the biggest thing I have ever attempted as far as movies go.. so chances are it will be the greatest achievement of my life so far... I would like to thank all the wonderful people who helped donate to make this film possible... your money is already gone.. spent within a matter of minutes on incredibly cool things! Go ahead and check out the teaser trailer for this... and keep all your fingers crossed and wish us luck on this adventure!
Today is August 27th.. that means it is SC Entertainment's anniversary.. it has been exactly 29 years since me and Terry came up with a name for the weird things we do. A lot of things in the world have changed since 1983.. mainly, I am taller. Other than that though, I am still making up crazy stories and music and stuff and making my friends take part and have fun whether they like it or not. Me and Terry and Elaine, and all the other people through the years who have helped us to build a huge HUGE catalogue of music, and movies, videos, comic books, stories, and all kinds of interesting artistic projects are heroes! Yes, that's right.. we get nothing in return, we occasionally get people telling us to stop bothering them, and sometimes if we are lucky we get people telling us that they liked something we do. This isn't our job, or how we make a living.. though I wish it was.. but it keeps getting done, year after year.. making what I consider to be the world's greatest films and music.... anyway.. we rock, Happy anniversary SC, you are awesome and have given my life meaning. Word up.
A few years ago we made a documentary about the history of SC.. if you have a chance today, please check it out.. it may give you a greater appreciation for our life's work.
Hello, we are trying to get together some funds for the next installment in the amazing Beefart & Cheenkaw movies. It is gonna be amazing, and probably blow your mind. But alas, we are looking for cash...
So with that in mind.. give us all your money. If you have no money to give, please do me the biggest favour ever and pass this along to as many people as you can.. forward this post in your e-mail for instance.. to everyone.. post a link to this website on facebook, or twitter, or whatever thing the kids are using these days... it would only take a moment of your time, and it may mean the difference between a good movie, and a slightly gooder movie.
The script for the next installment in the amazing Beefart / Cheenkaw / Bo-Bo / Laura McKnees / Earl Nakesch franchise is on it's way, with filming scheduled to start in the fall with all new exciting characters, the most diabolical villain you could ever imagine, and possibly the weirdest most exciting and mind blowing story we have ever come up with! If you haven't seen the last film 'Curse of the Dimensions of Death' you should do so right now...
I'm starting to understand why I am poor, as everything I do is given out for free. The good news is that if I actually charged people to listen to our music and watch our films, no one would actually do it, and nothing would ever get seen or heard. Thats not exactly completely true I guess... on occasion people do pay for things, and it blows my mind and I get mad at them. Maybe I just can't handle it.. anyway, I guess thats my problem, not yours.
The point is, there is a lot of amazing things that have been made that you have access to right now for free.
Elaine Boyling has recently put up her entire back catalogue of music for download.
Also there is a huge 30 track compilation available that includes all of Dinojubilee's demo tracks recorded from 2009 - 2010
Don't forget every fukachuk egg machine album ever made:
It is becoming more and more obvious that it is some sort of crime against humanity that Elaine Boyling isn`t some kind of international superstar. Her talent is ridiculous and undeniable and it kind of makes me feel a little ill that she hasn`t been recognized on a global scale yet.
Anyway, I guess we can be happy that we can still listen her.. it`s like a little club of cool people who have a secret handshake or something.. and our handshake can be dino coloured and smell like violets.
Here is her new record, Birth To Rabbits, it will actually blow your mind.
And please don`t forget about Saurus Woman.. it is an actual bona fide masterpiece.
I think Beefart & Cheenkaw - Curse of the Dimensions of Death has done all it can in the world of DVD sales and film festivals... and the most important thing in the word is that people get to see this film. So I am putting it up on youtube... all 85 minutes of pure action packed amazingness. If you haven't seen my last feature film, you probably should.
Alright.. one more humongous giant pile of music for you all to download. Elaine Boyling and Blaise Kolodychuk's entire back catalogue of music from 2000 - 2009 (Up until when we became Dinojubilee) is now available to download. Eight Albums that are pay what you want, including free!
It's an interesting collection chronicling the lives of two very strange people. Enjoy!
