Is it just me or do movies and properties that don't know if they're going to be any good try to lure you in with peripheral stuff? I mean seriously, how many times have we seen this over the years? From the writer of... is usually a tip off that you're in trouble. Or what about when they put the director or writers name at the beginning? Ladies and gentlemen get ready to scream for "John Carpenter's Roman Fanny Pack," or "Stephen King's Old People in Maine."

A surprisingly upbeat and chipper film, yet still carrying their trademark biting satire, the Coen Brother's fifth feature was, and still is, a bit of a black sheep in their filmography. Instead of a brooding neo-noir like Miller's Crossing and Blood Simple, or the strange fever dream surrealism of Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy instead takes its cues from the wild screwball zaniness of Raising Arizona, but instead of the quirky outback of Arizona, the

In other words: The American health care system is fundamentally evil.

I really do try to see good things in contrary points of view sometimes. I'm willing to admit why an argument I've made in favor of or against something has been wrong, and a fair amount of my friends can testify that I've (reluctantly) conceded when I've screwed up and need to consider a different point of view and/or apologize.

A bit late for this post! To be honest, I've had to spend a couple of days mentally and physically recharging. It's been a while, and that many people - and that many things to do - took a surprising amount out of me. Still, this is something that I wanted to make - and I've got other blog posts that I wanted to make after this one, so stay tuned.

It's been a while. I could talk about things being busy, but things are always busy. I'm not going anywhere, barring very unfortunate circumstances, and I appreciate everyone who's still been following along with this account.

State of Play, the 2009 cinematic adaptation of the 2003 BBC One miniseries of the same name, is a film that has an ambitious, complex plot, some solid performances from it's cast, but in the end, stumbles over itself by trying to make a story built on shades of gray, into something more black and white, and therefore suffers.

You know, i was going to make a big, official "i'm back" blog. I abstained from it on the basis that i should put out more than one story in the space of a week before claiming it as an official signal of my return to writing. And it wasn't as if i didn't write a bunch: I just didn't publish anything i wrote. Once i actually get any of:

_{Hell. Yes.}

I wrote stuff. I put a new story out, and I know that I'm gonna be able to see it through.

Mostly because I actually wrote a bunch of chapters ahead of time, already have the ending planned out and am finishing up the last few chapters of the story as I'm writing this.

You think I'm kidding, don't you? Actually, I'm completely serious about this. I promised you that there would at least one entry out of the seven that would be mocked and, honestly, this is the one I was thinking about.

Greetings, everyone!

And, just like before, I take shameless advantage of torrenting websites and downloaded the DVD Screener to The Hateful Eight. And I ain't one lick sorry.

Quentin Tarantino's eighth feature serves as not only a return to his roots, but also as a deliberately overcharged homage to the hyper-violence of the Italian Giallo film genre, both in subject matter and content.

Long had mankind lived, and long had it suffered threats beyond mortal explanation. There were precious few moments when the forces of good and evil did not wage secret war against each other, with humanity as their unwitting puppets. And in times of divine crisis, the war grew more overt, bloodier, where the dominion of man grew overshadowed by angels and demons alike.

Is anyone really going to be surprised that Super Trampoline is responsible for something like this, though?

In any case, I wrote a fair amount of this and giggled like a loon all the while. Try to guess which bits Stramp, Dobe and I wrote! I'm sure my unique style will shine on through

"Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone
When the nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle twinkle all the night
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your little spark
He could not see wich way to go
If you did not twinkle so

When the blazing sun is gone
When the nothing shines upon
