There was a joke for a time that everyone was getting Netflix deals. The gag being they’d buy anything. And for a time this was sort of true. They’d mirror the kind of content that was popular based on user data and theoretically this should lead to a glut of great content which keeps people …
AN OPEN PITCH TO SQUARE ENIX.
I saw that a few years ago Square Enix were open to pitches for some of their acquired game licenses including one of my favourite games of all time: Gex. Well I missed that open pitch time. But they still haven’t brought out a new Gex game in years and with the recently discovered Gex …
Tin foil hat time.
As a writer I’m always theorizing and coming up with stupid shit and extrapolating beyond the norms to consider plots from disparate elements and I see stories everywhere I go. Sometimes they sound like the manifestations of a conspiracy theorist. One such plot goes like this: The Election 2020. The country is divided nearly …
An string of unpopular thoughts.
I’ve been alive for 38 years. And the things that have happened in that time is incredible. Comparative to many other times in history, the curve of progress has sped up exponentially. But so has a lot of other things. And in many ways, I feel we are living on a knife’s edge, teetering between …
Argh, I am a pirate.
With the release of Color out of Space I’ve heard a renewed focus on piracy in film. Mostly how much of a scourge it is and how it cripples filmmakers and stifles auteurs by castrating studios into believing smaller budgeted films have no chances of being funded because only higher grossing tent pole films can …
Terminated
(Spoilers) So Dark Fate has bombed pretty hard they say. Super low opening weekend, low international haul, bad china box office, etc. The trilogy they planned from this flick is probably not gonna happen. There is a lot of blame going around and people are dividing into a few distinct camps. Much like Last Jedi; …
Movies as a modern talking point.
So Scorsese and a couple of other filmmakers talk a little shit about Marvel movies – their opinion – and the world is losing its shit. Like everything else divides are occurring. People are forming their sides as to who is wrong and right instead of that’s their opinion, here is mine. But this is …
Suicidal tendencies. Don’t worry. I’m here to help you.
I am sharing my pain in the hope that I can help you understand how to deal with yours. This is my hope, who knows if it makes sense.
13 reasons why no one likes me.
I just watched 13 reasons why. I heard so many positive things that I felt I needed to check it out. Honestly, I don’t think anyone needs to see this bullshit. But I’ll explain why – there will be spoilers so if you care, don’t read ahead. It completely reinforces for me why I hate …
The poor hard working actors of the North East.
Prepare to think I’m an asshole. … So I see a lot of people I know, actors primarily, saying please keep Beowulf going. Please renew for a season two. Please start a campaign page, spread the word, share this, link that, etc. I’ve bit my tongue. But I’ll throw a penny in the fountain of …
