2024 was definitely a year of surprises.
A Writer Watching – Eternals, Part 2
Hello and welcome back to “A Writer Watching – Eternals”! This is the second part of a two part series, so if you’re just joining us now, you might want to check out part one first via this link. But if you’re like, “Nah,” for any reason, I have to clarify again that the purpose... Continue Reading →
A Writer Watching – Eternals, Part 1
Disclaimer: I know that some people really like this movie. In fact, some of my best friends really like this movie. However . . . a balance must be struck. Since the beginning of time, I’ve vowed that if there came an MCU film worthy of an absolute tear-down because its writing was a mess,... Continue Reading →
I Finished the Outline for Memory
Finally. I can’t explain how good it feels to finally get over that hurdle. To finally be one step closer to writing anything else. I love Memory, and I’m excited that I have ideas for its sequels, but man am I ready for the next steps in my process: making a few tweaks to the... Continue Reading →
Something to Read / Watch / Play – May 2021
I'm getting this post out a bit later than I normally would . . . for about the exact reason I decided to take a break this week. I had . . . a weird week. Not terrible, but definitely exhausting. I got my sleeping schedule in order, which is cool, but every night since,... Continue Reading →
Edited in Post – The Falcon & The Winter Soldier
Disclaimer 1: Spoilers for The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. Seriously, if you haven't watched the entire series, read no further. Disclaimer 2: I enjoyed TF&TWS. After last week's post, I was happy that the finale answered a few questions I had and focused enough on Sam that I wasn't annoyed. Last week, I was... Continue Reading →
The Brown Main Supporting Character & The White Side Protagonist
I watched The New Mutants a few days ago. Based on the trailers, I was expecting something unique and hoping for something cool. What I got was something a little meh. And a lotta racist. Yeah, New Mutants really pissed me off. Because it starts and we're introduced to Dani Moonstar, our brown protagonist, and... Continue Reading →
The “MCU Glorifies the Military” Hottake is Stupid, But This Other Take Isn’t
Like a large portion of America, I watched the finale of WandaVision this week. And, before I continue, I know this isn't what I said I'd write about. I will, forever and always, stop myself from making promises about what I'll write on Sunday, because it almost always changes. The thing is, like anything, WandaVision... Continue Reading →
A Writer Watching – Wonder Woman 1984, Part 2
Well, it looks like it's that time again. What time, you ask? 1984. Unfortunately. This second part of "A Writer Watching - Wonder Woman 1984" feels like a doozy, so I'm going to jump right in. However, this is the second part of a two-parter, so if you haven't read part 1 yet, you might... Continue Reading →
A Writer Watching – Wonder Woman 1984, Part 1
Okay. So, I still only want to be positive on this site. But if there’s one massively influential avenue of media that needs to be heavily criticized when it’s bad, it’s movies. I never want to tear apart someone’s novel or short story on here, but giant blockbuster franchise movies are just free in my... Continue Reading →
