I saw The Phantom Menace for my eighth birthday. It wasn’t the first Star Wars film I saw, nor was it the first I saw in theaters (I have the vague recollection of seeing A New Hope when it was rereleased in Singapore). But it was a new Star Wars movie and I loved it… Continue reading That Teaser
The Pay Off
I liked Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it first aired. Its potential was a big reason, as was, well, bits with characters. There was little else like it on tv and hey, I’m always on board for something science fiction, especially if it’s in the Marvel-verse. Granted, the show meandered for quite a while, but I enjoyed it all the same… Continue reading The Pay Off
Representation, Big Hero 6, and Me
I saw Big Hero 6 last Saturday, a couple days after Interstellar. They’re very different movies, different beasts. I’m not sure yet which one I like more, but there’s one thing that makes Big Hero 6very special. But first let’s talk about me. I’m one of those weird people who can claim two races. No,… Continue reading Representation, Big Hero 6, and Me
Where No One Has Gone Before
Let’s talk about space, because of Interstellar. Now, it’s hard to discuss the film because so much of what makes it Interstellar is because its based so fundamentally on the curves and turns of the plot. So for the sake of avoiding spoilers and ruining everything, we’re not talking about Interstellar’s story. Instead let’s talk… Continue reading Where No One Has Gone Before
THEY’RE MAKING A CAPTAIN MARVEL MOVIE
Marvel announced their upcoming slate of movies this week and I am very excited for one very important reason: Captain. Marvel. Now, of course I’m pumped for the other announcements. Captain America 3 is officially Civil War, which bodes very interesting the MCU at large. Black Panther’s also showing up in Civil War and getting his… Continue reading THEY’RE MAKING A CAPTAIN MARVEL MOVIE
Let’s Talk About My Movie
In case you haven’t heard, I’m making a movie. Not just that, but I need your help to make it happen. Here’s why. “Ghosts That We Knew” is a story about not being alright. Becca, the protagonist, isn’t where she thought she’d be in her life Things haven’t been going the way she’d hoped they… Continue reading Let’s Talk About My Movie
Superhero Overdose
If you haven’t heard, DC recently announced their cinematic plans for the next six years. We’ve got a Justice League movie, a Wonder Woman movie, one with the Flash, one with Aquaman, a Green Lantern movie, and so on. It’s DC’s answer to Marvel’s Avengers. They’re looking to emulate Marvel’s formula, releasing two a year.… Continue reading Superhero Overdose
Financial Teamwork
One of my favorite things about the internet is the democratization of media. Anyone can do anything and put it out there for a wide audience. Where once upon a time either no one would see it, now you can put it on YouTube and spread it around. There’s not just an audience, there’s a… Continue reading Financial Teamwork
Metanarrative, Cervantes, and The Princess Bride
The Princess Bride is (probably) my favorite movie. It also happens to be based on a book, which I first read in my mid-teens. Now, the book caught me off-guard. It was far more cynical than the film and there was this whole mess about William Goldman’s personal life. I read it again a few… Continue reading Metanarrative, Cervantes, and The Princess Bride
Yet To Do It Again
I’ve only played The Last of Us once. Well, only played it through all the way once. I started a New Game+ about a year ago, but still haven’t finished it. It’s odd, I know, considering how much I write about it (plus two final papers and counting). Oh, I play the multiplayer every now… Continue reading Yet To Do It Again
