Back when I started this blog, I wrote to my friend Michael Montoure (whose work you can read over at Bloodletters.com) to ask for his help with a logo. The design brief I gave him was "every bad knockoff of The Road Warrior that was ever filmed in the desert on a non-existent budget", and I think we can all agree that he delivered beautifully on that précis. I was reminded of that this week as I watched a movie that fits that description perfectly: Patrick Swayse’s magnum opus Steel Dawn.

Yes, he is the desert warrior…
