Thoughts on Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

The last time I watched this movie, I was around eight years old, having rented it from Food City. I'm glad to have watched it again, and on the big screen to boot.

Primal Jack

Found this image courtesy of Reddit. It was too good not to share.
Speaking a little more seriously though, it's interesting to look at this and compare/contrast the two characters' designs and the respective art styles of their shows.

I Am Back

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being so quiet these past few days, but Internet connections were pretty crappy at both the hotel and at the convention, so I figured I'd just save the big response for when I finally got home and unpacked.

My First Convention

I'd been meaning to put this up earlier, but well, better late than never.
Tomorrow and through Sunday, I'll be out of town - my dad and I are going to a convention over in Beckley. Dad's going to be vending a table there to try and sell some books.

Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish.

It Feels Like Christmas Time · 4:57am Dec 24th, 2018

Christmas Eve is upon us, and the big day itself follows, of course.

And with that in mind, I wanted to share a few other Christmas songs, from one of my favorite bands.

Specifically, the modern swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They've got a LOT of great music, but my personal favorites of theirs include a number of their Christmas covers, from old classics like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" to more original fare like "It Feels Like Christmas Time". The latter of which might be one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs now

Enjoy, and happy holidays to you all.
