As with any job, sometimes writing has its good days. Other times, not so good days. One of the questions I most get from non-writers, and even some writers who have a hard time coming up with ideas they want to write about, is where do you get your ideas? But a story isn’t JUST […]
Let’s first address the elephant in the room: is M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie, Split, any good? Yes. Yes! And hell yes! The other question you might have is: is there a twist? No. There’s some cool surprises, but not the kind of killer twist audiences came to expect in Shyamalan’s breakout movies. After his […]
[photo credit Nate Grigg via Flickr Creative Commons] I’ve always had a weird relationship with Thank You. I say it all the time when someone gives me something or does something for me.

So, here we go again, wading into political waters. I’m bound and determined to alienate all of my readers one blog post at a time. If you didn’t read my prior post, Why Trump Won, you may want to do that before venturing further. I feel that my last post helped (maybe a tiny bit) […]

Why was this episode so good? First of all, three words: KING FREAKING EZEKIEL! But not just this awesome new […]
(Image copyright: AMC) [SPOILERS FOR LAST NIGHT’S THE WALKING DEAD] So, The Walking Dead returned last night with its much-anticipated season premiere which promised to answer the question: Who did Negan kill? As you surely recall, Season Six ended with a cliffhanger that (to put things lightly) didn’t go over well with fans. The show spent all […]
(Non-spoiler review) It’s not often that a horror movie surprises me. It’s even rarer for a January horror movie to be good. And even rarer, a horror movie with a doll that I find even remotely tolerable. And yet, here is it — The Boy. I have to admit when I saw the first trailer […]
A Russian man claimed that Fallout 4 is “too addictive” and thus destroyed his job and marriage, AND the game should come with a warning label. He is suing Bethesda and a Russian company for his “emotional distress.” According to the article: He regularly skipped work, which resulted in his employers firing him. He stopped meeting […]
