PRESS RELEASE BIO: MIKE JITTLOV, aka "The Wizard of Speed and Time"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Film Producer, Screenwriter, Movie Star - and yes, Living Legend -
MIKE JITTLOV is the Media Guest of Honor at Houston's CON-TROLL!
Jittlov's strangely charming, hyperkinetic and effects-packed
feature film, "THE WIZARD OF SPEED AND TIME", will be screened at
the mammoth Texan science-fiction and fantasy convention - after
which Mike may reveal how in the world this movie even got made,
despite the misbegotten cretins who run Hollywood. And in keeping
with the con-theme, Mike will show videos of his actual encounter
with the the Largest Troll in the World, and survival thereof; plus
a scathing and humorously vindictive scene-by-scene comparison of
how "The Flash" TV show blatantly copied his original ouevre.
Self-taught in every field of film production, Jittlov has actually
co-starred himself on two Walt Disney TV specials (animating the
first stop-motion Mickey Mouse and 1000 Disney toys marching around
a psychologist's office). His imaginative works have been festival
favorites, winning many top awards and honors world-wide; and have
drawn SRO crowds at international screenings, from Hollywood's famed
Chinese Theater and the Smithsonian IMAX, to the outside walls of
large buildings.
Though listed in "Who's Who", Mike Jittlov's range of jobs, hobbies
and eccentricities would probably better qualify him a listing in
"Ripley's Believe It Or Not". He ghost-starred as the entire troop
of avenging spirits in 1990's megahit "GHOST", performed the first
broadcast of silent movies on the radio, and floated weightless with
Astronaut Gordon Cooper in a TV special. For leisure, Mike has
hitchhiked across Europe with a giant hand on a stick, rafted down
the Colorado River in a wading pool, skydived off the Gerald Desmond
Bridge at midnight, and climbed to the top of volcanic Mount St.
Helens without a permit. If cajoled, he can sign ornately legible
autographs, whistle three octaves, and fold dollar bills into
amusingly animated shapes.
Recently dubbed Hollywood's first "Mega-Hyphenate Auteur", Mike
Jittlov has worked in an unofficial Guinness World Record of 130+
job catagories (from Producer-Director to Key Schlepp) to create his
first 35mm feature film. A quasi-autobiographical action-comedy
about Hollywood's terminally creative and abysmally underfunded
special-effects wizards, the movie stars Jittlov and Miss Virginia
(Paige Moore). It actually won six significant awards and received
astoundingly excellent reviews, before being mysteriously buried by
its alleged distributor. (There is an amazing story here...)

Is it larger than the Seattle-famous "Fremont Troll", the large troll
living under one of Seattle's bridges in the Fremont district? _This_
troll is so large that it is crushing an actual VW bug in one hand.
(I gather that the driver of the VW attempted to cross the bridge without
paying.)
And I have proof! Pictures don't lie.

That's about the same size as the Hunderfossen Troll, just north
of Lillehammer. But I have actual Hi8 video of trolls big as
mountains, just south of Bodo and overlooking the whirlpool fjord.
And the Svartisen Glacier troll, made of turquoise-blue ice, has
a sprawling left paw so huge that one finger can crush an entire
village! Norway - Land of Giants!!
>And I have proof! Pictures don't lie.
Love to see `em ;)

Ditto! Would it be a hassle for you folks to GIF or JPG a couple of
your examples of full-color Troll-iana, and maybe upload to
alt.pictures.binaries, or somesuch?
Inquiring Netters wanna see! *grin*

I don't think you went to the Baltic island of Gotland when you went to
Sweden. There you can find trolls, or whatever you'd call it. Natural
formations around the island's rocky coast that resembles trolls. The
most famous one is Hoburgsgubben (The Old Man of Hoburg).

So it's a Toll Troll?
Sorry, I couldn't resist. It wouldn't have a mole, by any chance...

I don't know how it got there, but there's a relatively small
troll (about 3 stories tall, half that wide) hiding in the facade
of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. It's facing east, near
the river, and looks as if it may be holding up one side of the
building.

It's a TROLL bridge, not a toll bridge!
Although I suppose with all the newcomers, including myself,
Seattle could have made a fortune selling "bridge passes"
"Save money - buya bridge pass, then you dont have to stop and pay a
toll"
