Making strides in the evolution of modern myth and legend, the Bigfoot has been one of the earliest and most culturally reliable bits of folklore that has embedded itself in humanity worldwide.
I got the chance to talk to author of the Orion's Spur series, Alan Hansen about the first book in his series, Demeter and I had a lot of fun! I could talk to this guy for hours, but I think he has something really enjoyable and important going on with this series. Like we discussed, its important to read for a good laugh and a smile, but if we can shine a little light on something as detrimental as bullying? All the better!
Halloween is one of everyones favorite time of the year! We have tons of classic horror films, radio dramas, short stories, costume parties to get through, all in just a good couple of days! We have a lot of contributing origins to what we have now as the hallowed holiday. And I think my favorite is the idea that we all come together collectively to have a good laugh at what terrifies us, taking away its power over us, all over a few dollar store candy bags. Happy Halloween everyone!
I think these guys are who we think of the most when we think iconic sci-fi heroes. Who can really top Neo or Luke Skywalker? But what sets them apart from me and you, the everyman?
Politics is a fantastic writing tool to use to make a story BIG, because it helps scale whatever is happening in the background of a story. Watch something like The Expanse or Star Trek and you'll see that its something that those shows would not be as great without because politics makes things more relatable, more intriguing, and all the more real.
There is not a single thing that this show does correctly. Coming from the same studio that brought us Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, and a few other great shows? I am beyond disappointed. I'm LIVID! Here's my rant about it.
Whether we dedicate time to creating great tomes of literary works, private journals, academic essays and treatises, we all face the same manner of inhibitions: writers block, envy, self doubt, giving ourselves excuses and ways out of doing what we need to do to succeed. We can overcome these roadblocks, I promise you!
If I cast a spell with a wand and all my problems are solved......did I learn or gain anything? I didnt go on any kind of journey or fact finding mission, I just solved my problems. Is that a build up of hubris? And does it make for lazy story creations?
I've never seen a Disney failure so bad that they PULL MERCH! It certainly does NOT bode well for Disney Lucasfilm whatsoever.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to prove or disprove any and all extraterrestrial conspiracy theories? Just to KNOW for certain whats real and what isn't?
We have had a lot of major disappointments lately. But we dont have to let them color the taste of what we all collectively enjoy as a fanbase!
Breaking news everyone! Reading.....is HARD sometimes! Even for a voracious reader like myself, reading can seem like a chore some days. But why is this? If I'm reading a genre that I love so much, how can that be?
Deadpool x Wolverine is EASILY one of my favorite marvel movies of all time! if not one of my favorite movies in general. We have seen a pretty big dip in the attention people are giving to the MCU, but THIS movie is guaranteed to swing it back. So what made the studio make such a dramatically different kind of movie that was ten time raunchier, more gory, more nostalgia filled than the previous Deadpool movies? Well......
Following Dune Part 1, this movie gave us a ton of payoff from the buildup that we got several years ago and it did NOT disappoint! As a matter of fact, I think its pretty underrated. I do not see many people talking about it very much. But I will!
I think everyone is getting real tired of studios doing whatever they want with their properties because they KNOW that no matter how bad something bombs, they can keep on truckin....
Did Obi-Wan Kenobi commit heinous crimes by removing the autonomy of the Stormtroopers with his famous "these arent the droids you're looking for" line? Does this open the Jedi order to a whole slew of class action lawsuits?
I am a HUGE X-Men comics fan, especially the later graphic novel adaptations and illustrated compendiums. So I was a little apprehensive whenever Disney Plus announced its continuation of the beloved X-Men cartoon we got in the 90s.......I was not ready for them to screw up my childhood even more. BUT THEY DIDNT!!!!
I got the chance to hang out with Nathan Helm, author of the first in what will be an epic fantasy SAGA sure to sweep the bookshelves! This book was packed full of fun and its definitely reflected by the cool dude that is its author.
Its no secret that Star Wars is a massive franchise that is near and dear to not only me but to tens of thousands, including my pal Matt Charles! Today he is advocating the position that the prequel trilogy is superior to the original trilogy......and I'm here to put a stop to that.
With all the really cool technologies and advancements of differing flavors that we get in various scifi franchises, do we really need big chonk muscles and kickass karate skills?
