I dropped out of watching Superhero movies when The Avengers was released. Before that really. Didn’t go see it and won’t bother with this one either. The special effects wizards have taken the humanity out of […]

[Don't know what happened. The reply box closed up and didn't let me finish. To continue:]

Before this era of self-publishing, the public didn’t have to sift through the drek to find the gems. Publishers and […]

David,

Thanks for the addendum. You do hear about the self published book that gets picked up by a publishing house , but when you consider the number of self-pubbed books coming out month after month, with the […]

“There are two worlds existing side by side: in one, books are free or very cheap, and there are no gatekeepers. It has its own market, made up of the type of reader who isn’t particularly sensitive to the quality […]

Great interview with good questions and thoughtful answers. I like what he said about not always liking writing but loving the story. I see so many book written by authors who seem to be in love with the way they […]

Nice article. And thanks for the heads up. I just got my free copy of Created, The Destroyer. That’s what I like about hanging around here. You learn about good stuff like this. BTW, I thought the Remo Williams […]

I really enjoyed reading this article, Nina. Very well done. I especially thought questions No. 4 and 9 were excellent and two things that all writers should pay attention to.

Wellll, since you asked. My favorite western film is “Comanche Station.” This is a film directed by Budd Boetticher starring Randolph Scott. One of a series of films they shot out at Lone Pine Calif, in the late […]

Sellers does a good job pointing out the different philosophies Pixar and Disney have about moviemaking, and how the differences made it difficult for Stanton to get what he wanted in the final product. And […]

Thanks, Steven. Look at it this way, to a company that can afford to spend $4 billion to acquire Star Wars, $200 million is chump change.

Daniel,

Nice to have your input. I read and enjoyed Death to Jar Jar Binks. Good points. Yes, the marketing was a nightmare. But I thought the movie was a bomb anyway. Didn’t like the casting of the two leads, […]

Hah! Yeah, but can you imagine Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts in the two leads!!!!
Looking forward to the Dejah Thoris gallery.

Hey, Great Post. The Eye is everywhere watching. Your observations are right on, especially about the willingness of everyone to hand over their privacy to whoever wants to invade it via the Internet. It’s […]

Not to belabor the point. but

Here’s a clip from Roger Ebert’s review:

“The story is adapted from a 1954 sci-fi novel by Richard Matheson, which has been filmed twice before, as “The Last Man on Earth” […]

Nice article, Alex. But I don’t think I am Legend belongs on your list. True, Richard Matheson’s novel, on which the movie is based, was about a bacterium that turned everyone except Neville into vampires. But the […]

Steve,

As you know I’m a big fan of the Flash Gordon serials. Mouldy as they are they are still entertaining if you make certain allowances. A while back I blogged about Flash, Dale, and Ming and thought some […]

Great article, Paul. In fact, I’m enjoying all of those you’ve written here. I agree with everything you’ve said in this blog, except the last line. At this point I think most of the general public ARE sheep. The […]
