So, fair warning, I was dead tired last night and forgot to write the blog post. I am slightly drunk now, so I've got no inhibition whatsoever. And I'm going to talk about whatever comes to mind. So, big shocker for anyone who knows me, I want to ...

Tony Stark is glib, arrogant, and a war profiteer. And the perfect Protagonist.
I don't believe stories should be written strictly according to formulas - but writing according to structures that have been established can be helpful to a script when needed.

There is no better way to spend a lazy day than couch-surfing with Dave Skunk as he snacks on a surfeit of juicy nematodes. The embodiment of the early nineties grunge movement and counterculture, insomuch as Dave’s abilities to maintain a mohawk, indulge on insomnia-fueled VHS tape binges, percolate ...

I liked her. The trailer dropped and I didn't quite like the trailer, but I liked her.
Hear me out, now.
I think Halle Bailey can absolutely, 100% work as a mermaid. A little mermaid, if you like. There's just something in the way she's set up ...

When I first became seriously interested in comics, John Byrne was at the top of my favorite artist list. He drew many of the classic “new” X-Men books, and was the artist on that series when it first became massively popular. The stories Byrne drew (and co-plotted along ...

Saturday morning was spent mall trotting like a typical nineties mall rat. The mall was like a ghost town in the early hours of the day when every storefront was ...
Venting Your Frustrations Needs Elegance

So it came to my attention that J.K. Rowling has taken revenge against her ‘internet trolls’ by writing a new book called The Ink Black Heart. According to reviews (I haven't read the book) the plot of the book reflects the author's experience of mass-condemnation over her ...
