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 →
A November 2021 Break – In Prep for Editing Memory
Apologies for this one being a little late; my sleep schedule is such that I accidentally missed the majority of Sunday. I would have done a November “Read/Watch/Play” today, but A) I haven’t finished the novel I started reading last week and B) the only good thing I’ve watched so far this month was Shang-Chi,...

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 →
Gallery of Strangers – Actual, Normal Latinx Who Exist in the Bronx
I ran into a former coworker the other day. It was a super short encounter. Basically a "Hello," and, "Do you still work there?" and, "No, they were reopening in the middle of COVID," and an extremely validating, "Pssh. Yeah, fuck that. I didn't go back either." There was a little bit more to it,... Continue Reading →
Let’s Talk About – Loki & The Potential Birth of the “Megapremise”
Loki came out this week. And, as a man who fully expected to hate that show, I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the first episode. Will I enjoy all six episodes? Who knows. Can I emphatically say that its theme song is one of the best OST themes I’ve heard in a... Continue Reading →
Let’s Talk About – SWOGing, A Star Wars Phenomenon That Just Made It To Resident Evil: Village
I finished Resident Evil: Village. And I have two things to say. First, in case you’ve heard different from certain websites or YouTube personalities, I will be the completely honest party and say, man, that game is not good. I can seriously go on an entire rant about conflicting game mechanics; bugs; bad conveyance; manipulative,... 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 →
Monster Showcase – Mother Longlegs from Kong: Skull Island
Disclaimer 1: Yes, this post contains minor spoilers for Kong: Skull Island, which I only point out because if you haven't seen it, KSI is actually good. Seriously, I just watched it for the first time earlier in this week, and I was floored not only by how entertaining it was but how that movie... 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 →
