After I did three posts that were basically a wish list for superhero films, I found myself hungry for some new superheros. But I’d seen every superhero movie that has come out in the last decade except for Bloodshot, and there is absolutely no way in hell I’m paying 19.99 to watch that movie. There …
6 Things I want to see in the Arrowverse (Part 2)
I sat down a week ago to write out three things I wanted to add to the Arrowverse. As I should have expected because it happened when I did this with the MCU, I had so many ideas that the list got longer. Instead of cramming 6 points into one post, I decided to break …

6 Things I want to see in the Arrowverse (Part 1)
A few weeks ago, I shared my wish list for the future of the MCU. Because I secretly want to run the world (or at least the entertainment industry), today I’m bringing you my wish list for the Arrowverse (aka: the majority of DC’s actually good live action). Side note: as for the DCEU ...I …

People Panic -or- The Problem with Prometheus isn’t *that* Scene
Part 2 of last week's post is going to go up a bit later - instead, I had to take a diversion. You know the scene. Don’t lie, you know exactly the scene I’m talking about, the most infamous scene from 2012’s execrable Prometheus. If you actually don’t know what I’m talking about or have …

3 Things I Want to See Next in the MCU
After my last post about the MCU and Arrowverse, I spent some time thinking about both properties. Okay, it was a lot of time. I really like superheroes, y’all. And given the nature of the post, I was mostly thinking of the future of both franchises. Given the fairly loose and open nature of this …
A Privilege Playing with you Tonight
I’ll never forget the first time I cried during a live action movie. I’d cried at animated movies before, of course. The classic tearjerkers - Bambi, The Lion King, and of course The Land Before Time. But live action movies hadn’t hit me the same way. Probably a large part of that was the kind …
Write to Market 3: Stop. Trying. To. Cash in. On. COVID-19.
I’ve talked previously on what it means to write to market - you can see part 1 here and part 2 here - and I’d thought I’d said all I had to say on the subject. But this, like so many things, changed with the advent of COVID-19. The first true pandemic of the modern …

Quarantine Activity Suggestion: Dungeons and Dragons (No, Really)
So...we’re in social distancing mode. Over here, I’ve got some of the symptoms of COVID-19, although not enough to take any kind of test, and therefore am home bound until they clear up. (I'll be fine, don't worry!) Which is going to be great for my writing, not so much for my existential dread over …

Bad Ideas for Valentines Day When Single
Valentine’s day can be a tough holiday when you’re single. It feels like the entirety of popular culture is designed to make you feel like you are somehow failing by not being in a relationship. Granted, thanks to the wonders of social media you can feel that way every day if most of your friends …
Endgame Crisis – Comparing the Two Big Crossovers
Last year, Marvel had the culmination of over a decade of movies in Avengers Endgame, a landmark event that featured heroes from multiple franchises coming together to face a threat to all of reality, a monster of incredible power known as Thanos that had already managed to wipe out half of all life in the …
