Every time someone goes through a long period of unemployment, someone suggests going back to school. That was my thought process when I was stuck in a tech support job back in 2013, and applied for my MA. I got in, finished it, made some connections… then ended up running back to that tech support…

Sometimes it’s hard for me to keep up with all the things I’m working on. Right now, that includes a job hunt, a literary agent hunt, trying to break into game writing, and trying to get my screenplay some more attention. Not to mention regular life things. Today, I got back into a rhythm of…

Since leaving my video game writing course, I started taking part in a volunteer project. I heard about this opportunity through another classmate who posted the opportunity on LinkedIn.

It has now been rebranded by white conservatives or “centrists” as a criticism of policies meant to promote inclusion. Nowadays, any film with a…

This is a clip from the 2001 Justice League series, which is still one of the best animated superhero adaptations. If you go into this clip blind, it appears Superman is telling Shazam that superheroes can’t pick political sides or do commercials. OK, so that seems like it is clear as day. Nachtbrezel is right, Superman…

So today’s post is inspired by this Twitter thread. So first, Paul Rudd discusses how restrictive his diet was for “Ant Man.” Then the commenter, Dave J. Dixon, uses Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine as another example. Jackman was a relatively last-minute replacement for Dougray Scott, so he didn’t get much time to prep physically. Maybe his…

As I’ve mentioned before, I got to do a review of a TIFF film for Trad. I picked Out of Sync, a Spanish film about a woman whose hearing begins to go out of sync with her surroundings. ‘Out of Sync’ hides its best moments out of sight – Trad Magazine
