Good Story Writing Inadvertently Reveals Incompetence

by Unknown's avatar

Sometimes, really good story-telling can backfire… BADLY! The perfect example of this is on Law & Order SVU… Honestly I dislike this show. I know it’s popular, but honestly it’s barely a cheap dime store replacement for the original and for many reasons. Most notably in my case, the characters (except Munch) are NOT likable. They are grossly incompetent, way over emotional for their … Read More Good Story Writing Inadvertently Reveals Incompetence

White Widow, Initial Impressions #WhiteWidow #Comics #Superheroes #Indie

by Unknown's avatar

So I’ve recently picked up a new book that I just stumbled on at a comic auction for $8… and it was money well spent, but I’ll get into that. The book title is White Widow. The plot from the kick starter: Story Gabrielle Garcia was a typical American girl going to college to follow in her father’s footsteps – or so she thought. … Read More White Widow, Initial Impressions #WhiteWidow #Comics #Superheroes #Indie

by Unknown's avatar

Hi All, So my family finally got around to watching the new Mary Poppins movie and I want to give my thoughts on it.

The Death Of Star Wars: “Toxic” Fandom and Drama #StarWars #LucasFilm #Fans #TheMandalorian

by Unknown's avatar

Full disclaimer, I do not believe that all Star Wars fans are toxic, not by half. So please actually read my article before you get all hot under the collar one way or another. If you disagree with me, let’s talk about it in the comments.  Okay, I know I’m treading on rather sensitive grounds here, but this is something I really think I … Read More The Death Of Star Wars: “Toxic” Fandom and Drama #StarWars #LucasFilm #Fans #TheMandalorian

Book review: Drakin, the story of Raiya

by Unknown's avatar

Originally posted on Tomas – the wandering dreamer:
After two Sci-Fi books (Jurrasic Park and Resist), I got to read a book that is some kind of a mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Another step into the unknown for me – and one that worked for me. The hardest thing for me is to categorize this book. If I wanted to try a bit…

Unpopular Opinion: Incredibles 2 wasn’t worth the wait. (Spoiler Free)

by Unknown's avatar

Yeah… this was a major let down. Oh, bring it on! I went to see it with my family the other night at a drive-in. My kids loved the original and watch it ad nauseam.  I admit it’s a fun movie and definitely an entertaining take on Superheroes. I actually got a laugh out of Samuel L. Jackson’s character when he’s arguing with his … Read More Unpopular Opinion: Incredibles 2 wasn’t worth the wait. (Spoiler Free)

Rose Tico: A Strong Female Protagonist?

by Unknown's avatar

This is something I’ve gone back and forth about publishing for a while… given everything that’s been going on between the creators of the new Star Wars series and the fandom. This is a fight no one wins, so I don’t get involved. That being said, there is a lot of buzz around Kelly Marie Tran and her character, Rose Tico. First of all, … Read More Rose Tico: A Strong Female Protagonist?

So where did this all start for me? Well… actually when I was following what was going on with hilariously comical #FreedomForTay movement, someone posted this … Read More My Initial Thoughts on Detroit Become Human

Heads Up, New J.R.R. TOLKIEN NOVEL!

by Unknown's avatar

  I am super excited about this one. Being a huge fan of Tolkien, owner of two first edition novels of his, and avid fan of the movies… this is huge for me! The new novel is titled The Fall of Gondolin. It looks like Tolkien’s son Christopher Tolkien is trying to get everything out as fast as he can… given that he’s getting … Read More Heads Up, New J.R.R. TOLKIEN NOVEL!
