Defending a Movement Vs. Its Rights

by Unknown's avatar

  As a writer… I’m always vexed when the issue of Freedom of Speech comes up. There has been a lot of talk lately about protected speech vs. unprotected speech, as well as when physical violence is acceptable and when it isn’t. I’d like to try to tackle this without getting into a massive political diatribe, because that frankly helps no one. Now often … Read More Defending a Movement Vs. Its Rights

Why You Shouldn’t Bother with TSCC

by Unknown's avatar

… perhaps that picture isn’t the best non-motivator. Oh well. If you’re a Terminator super fan like I am, chances are you’re not thrilled with where the series has gone. Terminator 1 to me was a Jason-style slasher flick. Borderline horror movie. It was good as movies go, definitely ahead of its time. However one that could have wound up on the ‘forgettable’ list. … Read More Why You Shouldn’t Bother with TSCC

The Devil in the Pages: How to Play Devils Advocate

by Unknown's avatar

Hi Jim, I saw that you give out writing advice and was hoping you could help me. See I’m taking my first shot at writing a political satire story, but am finding it increasingly difficult to write from the perspective of someone I don’t agree with. It’s getting very hard to write without sounding superficial or condescending. Do you have any suggestions? Best- Maria … Read More The Devil in the Pages: How to Play Devils Advocate

Prequelitis

by Unknown's avatar

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that we’re all pretty tired of prequels am I right? Earlier in the week I heard through the grapevine that Game of Thrones was going to have a couple of spinoff series dealing with events that happened before the events we all know and love. The response I’ve heard; A collective groan. Of … Read More Prequelitis

Top 10 Internet Trolls

by Unknown's avatar

I recently looked at the rules of the internet and made a shocking discovery; there was no rule that specifically states ‘If it exists, it will be trolled. No exceptions.’ I suppose that’s why there are still people out there that still think the stuff they post will not somehow get trolled. For that reason, I’ve compiled a list of the most humorous trolls … Read More Top 10 Internet Trolls

Star Trek Discovery: The Elephant in the Room

by Unknown's avatar

I’ve really wanted to tackle this one for a while, but the issues with Discovery seemed a lot more wide-spread than just the show. As a result, I had to address the more global issue first. To give a little background into my experience with Star Trek, I started off watching seasons 2-3 of The Next Generation. Then my father introduced me to Wrath … Read More Star Trek Discovery: The Elephant in the Room

Diversity and Good Writing

by Unknown's avatar

There has been a lot of talk lately about how diversity is killing good writing… or perhaps more accurately, studios and companies have been accused of using diversity as a stand in for good writing. I honestly had no idea the two were mutually exclusive. There is truth to the idea that many creators out there have been producing complete garbage, but seem to … Read More Diversity and Good Writing

Fire Emblem: The Nowi Controversy

Oh God… he’s talking about Fire Emblem again! Yes I am! So ever since Fire Emblem Awakening came out, there has been some controversy over the characters.

Wonder Woman: A Fitting Tribute

by Unknown's avatar

So I just saw Wonder Woman… All right, let me start of by saying that I did not have high hopes for this movie… Hear me out! The initial reviews of this movie that I saw came from Salon and The Mary Sue… You know… these yellow journalists: Back off, men—they’re scientists: New “Ghostbusters” trailer gets slimed by sexist trolls The Ghostbusters Trailer Backlash Shows Men … Read More Wonder Woman: A Fitting Tribute

You May Not Know…

by Unknown's avatar

Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron have met before… in the movie Inside Llewyn Davis, we see them along side Justin Timberlake singing a song that… ironically seems a little anti-space-travel. I haven’t seen this movie, so I don’t understand the context of the song though… Also is it just me or does it look like Kylo Ren is the only one having any fun … Read More You May Not Know…

The Double Standard of Art

by Unknown's avatar

There seems to be a trend that is pretty well-established in Hollywood, but unfortunately has also inked its way into literature and other various art forms as well, and its one I do not like nor do I think its effects are positive. What do I mean by that? Well let’s think about this for […]
