Hey.
I’m on vacation this week, and, since I finally finished a script I’d been working on not too long ago, I’m trying to force myself to take some time off from writing. Part of that means, yes, no blog post this week.
Because hey, I’m on vacation.
In the meantime, here are three posts from the past few months to read instead:
- Guns.
Tune in sometime soon to hear me talk about militarization in pop-culture, which is a whole ‘nother can of worms I have Opinions on.
I love a good pun. Especially when it’s about food. Oh, and storytelling. Yeah, that too. By the way, The Karate Kid is a perfect example of a story where the stakes are all very much internalized — and the conflict too. That’ll probably be a rant essay soon too.
I love bad movies. As in movies that aren’t trying to be anything more than good, silly fun. Today I watched Fast and Furious 8 and rewatched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and really wanna emphasize how wonderful movies like these are. Hmm, maybe it’s time to rewatch Bumblebee.
Anyway, I’m going back to vacation mode, at least for a couple more days. Expect more of the usual next week.
Cheers,
Essays, Not Rants!
