I just got out of the theater. Actually not kidding, that was probably the best movie I've seen in four or five years.

Emily Blunt in particular did a S P E C T A C U L A R job with Tempest Shadow's voice acting. Literally, perfection. New ironic pone waifu?

...Maybe. Time will tell. In the mean time, you scrublords better go see the movie.

Well that was a bust.

Tom Hooper's maudlin, overly melodramatic and laughably historically inaccurate retelling of the life of the second transgender woman is an over-cooked, syrupy and worst of all, boring examination of a no doubt interesting story.

Is that an oxymoron? Ah well.

Been a while, hasn't it? I've been toiling as usual, but this blog isn't about what I'm writing now. It's about an interview I'll be doing tomorrow at 5 am CST. Apparently they are collecting questions for the writers involved, and that's where you come in.

Peter Jackson’s extended edition of the final entry in his Middle Earth saga does a wonderful job at not only fixing many of the flaws that bogged down the theatrical cuts, but also serves as a fitting end to the saga.

Since today is 'Back to the Future Day' (aka October 21st, 2015, the day Marty McFly arrives in the future in Back to the Future Part 2), I decided to watch the first entry in the franchise, and see if it holds up all these years later.

And, in a moment that will likely get me some heavy flack, I find that it, in fact, does not hold up in my opinion.

Made in the wake of Memento, but before his big budget Batman films, Insomnia catches Christopher Nolan right before his true rise to fame, and still experimenting with the tropes and stylings that would later define his work. As such, it feels a bit transitory, and while still a good film, is not quite as strong or as tightly wound as it could have been.

Well...

That was a disappointment.
