Forty years ago from today, a fat cat appeared in newspapers across the U.S. now that cat has spawned TV shows, movies, and even games. He has a pop culture icon in the realm of newspaper comics. Happy Birthday, Garfield!

Just wanted to say that, and let some of my watchers know that I'm still alive.
This has been a busy month for me, but I must admit, it's nice to know that the 25th is almost here.
And as a little mark of celebrating, here - have one of the Christmas specials I used to watch as a kid.
Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:
My story The Youth in the Garden, you may recall, is being turned into a dramatic reading/radio play by user Jim Davis (still not the creator of Garfield... I think.) Things have really fallen into place for him, and he's ready to begin. Some important roles still need to be filled, however.
Where to begin on this one? I guess I’ll start with ‘Your Mileage May Vary’ as to whether you find the characters in question to be Scrappies or not. Scrappy Doo, is of course, the trope namer and Wheelie is generally considered to be one as well (as are Brainy Smurf and Elmyra, both of whom are mentioned though not actually present in-story). Interestingly, neither Nermal nor Cozy Glow are among the examples cited in the TV Tropes page for The Scrappy. Yet I’ve seen much hate directed

So, I was in Wal-Mart a few days ago because I had to pick up a storage container due to one of mine breaking. The lesson that night was don't wear steel toe boots and try to kick something across the floor. So, while I was there I decided to poke around in the party supply area because it was two in the morning and it wasn't like I had anything better to do.
Yep, you're reading this correctly, folks. Starting from today, I'll be watching every single Spider-Man movie that's ever been released, including the bad ones. I've already watched the first two Sam Raimi films today (which surprisingly hold up really well after all these years) and tomorrow, I'll be watching both Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man duology.
Oh, boy. That's gonna be fun.

I saw this go around DeviantArt years ago, but trust me to be a decade late when it comes to a meme.
I'm not one for talking about myself, which is why I primarily use my blog to post story notes. But today there's a topic I think is worthy of discussion.

Happy Memorial Day, my friends.
This is your top-of-the-line film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
Today, for my first review to celebrate this momentous occasion with, I'm gonna give you guys my take on "Hacksaw Ridge".
As quoted from the latest status update of the “Release the WebbCuts” petition:
Having often thought about what other kinds of reasons for why a director's cut of all two "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies would be an absolute must, it dawned on me that a director's cut of the first film would serve as a perfect dedication for the late James Horner.
As quoted from the petition's main page:
Not too long ago, I took a gander at the two “The Amazing Spider-Man” films, the biggest reason for why being because I saw Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans, and Jamie Foxx reprise their respective roles from those movies in “Spider-Man: No Way Home”. I found the two films to be incredibly enjoyable and worthwhile, I’ll tell you that.
However, in spite of enjoying them, I also found myself underwhelmed.
As quoted from the “Release the WebbCuts” petition’s status update:
In the first movie, there was a character called Rajit Ratha. He was a manager at Oscorp, and he particularly oversaw Dr. Curt Connors’s limb regeneration project, with the full intent of taking the formula to a dying Norman Osborn if a successful one was made. Ironically, Ratha also played a key role in both Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man and Dr. Connors becoming the Lizard.
As quoted from the petition's status update:
In all two “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies, there was a mysterious individual named Gustav Fiers/The Gentleman, having made cameos as a figure in the shadows. The character himself was set to play a larger role in both “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” and the proposed “Sinister Six” spin-off, but these plans were canceled in favor of incorporating a different version of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, played by Tom Holland.
As quoted from the petition’s status update:
Alvin Sargent and Laura Ziskin were a duo of filmmakers who frequently collaborated on various projects, later becoming a married couple in 2010. Sargent was often the screenwriter of the films they worked on together, while Ziskin served as a producer.
Two years ago today, with his alter-ego exposed to the world after the events of Far From Home, Peter Parker attempts to erase the world's minds of this fact, only to find himself on the greatest emotional rollercoaster filled with callbacks, nostalgia, and bittersweet endings.
