They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In the end, though, I generally find it more like rolling a rock down a hill – once you get started, it is a lot easier to keep going.

I was originally planning on posting my TwiDash story today, but then I realized that today was the final day of Fan of Most Everything’s Imposing Sovereigns contest, which contributed several stories to today’s review set and will likely contribute several to the next one as well. As such, I felt like I’m sure a lot of folks’ feeds are full today, so my own story (which is basically done, though I’m still poking at a few edits) will likely go up tomorrow or Tuesday, largely depending on

I've sort of vanished over the last week or two because I've been neck deep in Science Fiction & Fantasy stories: the voting deadline for the Hugo Awards is drawing near.

Does anybody want to hear about my weekend at Dragon Con? No? Good. It wasn't bad but it was uneventful. I'd say the biggest four things I managed to do were as follows. On the first day of the convention my roommates and I went to Jalapeño Charlie's where they ran out of food and had to shut down the kitchen for a half hour. When we ate the food was good and when we left we took the elevator.

So, how full does Queen Chrysalis have to be before she's full and gets her own hippy dippy coat of paint? I only ask because Thorax made like Zeppelin and gave her all of his love and she still didn't get a paint job or even a buff job. Heck the rest of changelings at the hive just covered her in their love beams and it still wasn't enough. I haven't seen a woman that insatiable since porn star Andrea True did the song More More More and still never got enough.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? stands as one of the most unique films in the already supremely unique filmography of the Coen Brothers.

The Coen Brothers' third film does what a great Coen Brothers film should always do: Take a genre (this time gangster films), deconstruct it with a sardonic and dry wit, only to then spin around and become one of the great entries in the very genre it's deconstructing.

Those who hate musicals, hate life.

The 1961 cinematic adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet still holds up remarkably well 54 years after it’s original release.

I wonder what would happen if Princess Cadence's pregnancy turned out to just be a really bad case of gas after eating brussel sprouts. I mean think about it, it could happen. What would happen if Danny DeVito got in on this show? I mean he's done it before. He was the Grundle King years ago. I think Danny would bring a lot to Friendship is Magic, I mean he could literally sit there and talk about how horny he is and be a unicorn with an amazingly long horn. He could laugh in that laugh

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

The Big Short is director Adam McKay's intentionally frenetic and bitingly satirical look at the 2008 global economic collapse, and, while it does manage to be an admiral attempt, ends up stumbling over it's own sense of self importance and self righteousness.

Changelings. They can turn into all sorts of ponies. I often wonder though why it is we never see them transform into anything else. I mean I think it would be hilarious to see one look like the last box of cereal on the shelf and when some kid goes to grab it it transforms last second into Flim who then tips his hat and slowly walks away.
