No doubt, he's far too busy to blog. I think the blog was filling in his free time. Maybe we'll get something in the off-season.steveadl wrote:Shame Rick doesn't seem to be updating anymore. Was looking forward to some H5OII stories.

Hmmm. That's interesting. Hope Rick didn't get bumped by some younger blood.Sam wrote:Hi Styles,
Not sure what is going on with Romer.When HFO began, Romer had the single credit,then later it was shared with Brenda Meyers-Ballard. Now in last nights episode it was someone else.

Ah, thanks for the "heads up" steveadl!steveadl wrote:Rick posted an update!
He was fired! But he bounced back pretty quickly this time by the looks of things - good to hear!
Sorry to hear he was let go, glad to see that he found another project: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked! Not a bad gig! Alvin and the Gang never get old.
That's got to be such a tough business to be in, having to constantly find new productions for work on. Rick is extremely resourceful. He's a survivor.
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!
Good news for our old pal and favorite MPI set decorator Rick.He's back in the game and back at the old studio.

Re: Magnum's Set Decorator Blog
It's been a while since I checked up on Rick through his blog. However, I just popped over and discovered that he's quit the business and moved onto something else. Seems he's a bit jaded and a bit frustrated by the way the business has changed. Here's his last blog entry from a year ago. http://magnumdecorator.blogspot.ch/2012 ... chive.html

Same here, he doesn't go into any detail but seems jaded by it. I'd like to know what has changed for the worse.
He writes, "The reality is that the TV and film business has changed. Let's just say they aren't changes that agree with me so changing professions is actually not that traumatic."
Is there a way to contact him to ask him what he did not like?
Worst he can say is "no comment" to why he became disenchanted with the film industry.

Re: Magnum's Set Decorator Blog
Makes my past Summer's basement remodel look mowing the lawn compared to his project. Wonder if he ever finished. I had been meaning to ask if you were going to try and contact Mr. Romer before your trip but am thinking if you were doing some research on him you are on top of it..............ConchRepublican wrote:I don't know if anyone here saw this interview with Rick going back to 2002.
