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.

Halloween Has Come Again · 1:16am Nov 1st, 2021

Can't say too much in some ways. Today was a bit of a busy one for me.

Trick-or-treating is always a pretty busy occasion for my house. We live right on the main street in town, and for the past few years our house has been smack in the middle of various Halloween gatherings around the neighborhood, so we often get a steady stream of kids coming and going on the 31st.

Today was no exception. In fact it may well have been even busier, as we ran out of candy (after I ran uptown to make one last mad scramble to restock XD) a half-hour before the official closing time.

Right now, I'm just enjoying taking it easy with the old laptop, and making tentative plans for the next big holidays around the corner.

Hope y'all are staying safe out there.
