“Strangers with this kind of honesty make me go a big rubbery one” The following essay contains a lot of sensitive and personal information, honestly told, but may still be for some triggering. It’s also quite long winded. So for a variety of reasons you are warned before reading. – Hank. I recently gave a …
She Hulk – I can fix it.
She Hulk may be one of the worst tv shows I’ve never seen. Forget the feminist girl power side of things, that’s arguable how bad all that is. But the writing, character use, effects, story arcs, acting, cinematography, everything is poor (Score is actually good, while licensed music is terrible), the humor… Woof. But it …

One eye closed.
A new show about Jeffery Dahmer comes out. Netflix reports it as the highest viewed show in the shortest space of time ever. Beat out that other over hyped Squid Game. How impressive. It’s not a bad show. Evan Peters gives a great performance, its dark and gritty and well made and shot and suspenseful …
Unrestrained growth.

TLDR: Will Smith and Free Speech.
Global Pandemics, lockdowns, social insecurity, warring nations, crumbling financial institutions, corrupt politicians, epic homeless and joblessness, historic inflation, children going hungry – But ignore all that: An actor slapped another actor! All jokes aside. This event has opened up a few interesting caches of conversation. First is that people are divided on if what Will …

Another year. Or two. Or five. It’s hard to keep track when you’re “restricted”. Impersonal. Movies which most stuck with me this year: Hamilton. Nobody. Pig. Free Guy. Halloween Kills. Spider-Man No way home. And the biggest disappoints for flicks for me: No time to die. Mortal Kombat. Spiral. Army of the Dead. Black Widow. …

An inevitability of being a poor filmmaker.
As a filmmaker and specifically as a writer; you strive to create original ideas and pitch, pitch, pitch. And you think to yourself you got a good idea. And others hear it and like it and you get some support and you become convinced this is a good idea. It has weight, it has merit, …
