Tension and Release and appreciation for Watcher
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 29, 2022
Watcher (2022) is a fairly unknown new movie, I think, and I recommend it. Simple, well-made, and scary.
Might as well get an early start on the October celebration, here - the fall is my favorite season, for so many reasons, including the time to celebrate our love for the scary ...

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 ...
FEATURED COMIC --> Brittany Hyperstyle
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2022
Brittany Hyperstyle is a seemingly a sophisticated, stylish woman with a strangely determined belief in the veracity of tarot. It doesn't take long for her to drop her reserve a jump headlong into one chaotic adventure after another with wild abandon! This is the type of randomness and non-sequitur ...

So hitting a girl (or a woman) is extremely tropey. Regardless of how progressive your story is, a man hitting a woman runs a high risk of being considered lowly or less than heroic. That's because generally, women are considered weaker than men, thus an easy target. A woman ...
