Not sure what was going on but the media site was sort of down. The individual pages looked OK, but the main page was returning some fatal error. Luckily, deactivating some plugins and reactivating them did the trick, and it’s working now, but still. I don’t like seeing my site down. 

Seems like I keep saying I need to blog more, but I suppose I am just too busy. Or I’m just telling myself that because of another cause I don’t want to think too much about. But since I an here, here it is: Facebook sucks. 

I know, what does that have to do with my blog. Well, I just don’t post almost anything to Facebook anymore, unless it is about my comic books or something cute or funny. I keep starting to write something, then just delete it because A) All I get in my feed anymore is diatribe, mob building who-dunnits and posts telling me how to think and reminding me that things are different now and commonly held opinions from a few years ago now make you an asshole and die! die! die! Or, B. But mostly it’s A. So, I have decided to just stop posting about pretty much anything, and I guess it has bled over to here. 

I usually avoid politics on this blog, so it’s not that, it’s just the idea that no one cares what I happen to think of the latest Marvel movie, right? So, maybe I need to reexamine why I post at all, what I might use or need the site for. Or maybe I just need a beer. Meh. Oh, did I mention I fixed the site?

It’s been a while since I’ve just wrote a random post, which is funny because this is supposedly a ‘personal blog’. Funny.

I used to write little posts about stuff I just liked, usually in a “blast from the past you might have missed or not even be aware of because Moby is freakin’ getting old and knows about some cool stuff from ‘back in the day’ and he wants to share it with you” sort of way. So I guess this post is one of those.

It’s like a confession, but not about shit from the ’90s. This is about much more recent stuff that sucked, but Moby still likes all the same.

I’m talking about Vince Vaughn films. The last few he has made, basically solo, and how I really liked them. Continue reading »

Huge news for fans of Hollywood Movie Studio, aka Hollywood Mogul 3…the game is now free!

HMS is the culmination of generations of text-based games simulating YOU running a major Hollywood studio. Sure, it’s not flashy and the graphics are near non-existent, but that’s a plus, not a negative here.

There have been countless attempts at making the perfect Television or Movie studio sim, and HMS gets it as close as anything has ever accomplished. Is it perfect? NO. Being text-based, it is not going to float every person’s boat. Still, no other studio sim lets you feel like you are actually green-lighting the flicks and seeing if they pay off in the end, raising your studio cash enough to try your next silly Rom-Com starring George Clooney. Or Jude Law. Or anyone for that matter. Continue reading »

gnome (nōm) n.

A pithy saying that expresses a general truth or fundamental principle; an aphorism.


Gnome #3:

People generally like characters that are sort of like cats.

(Gnome #3.5: Actual cats only count if animated.)


gnomeIt’s true. I don’t claim to understand it entirely, but throw a few cat-like characters into the plot of a book or movie and suddenly it’s Q Score goes through the roof. If you stop and think about it, I am sure you can think up at least a few cat-like characters in books and movies, all of them wildly popular.

From the Beast in Beauty and the Beast to The Cowardly Lion, just throw a cat suit on someone and BOOM!

Just look at Captain America: Civil War: The entire movie plot depends on a cat character, The Black Panther, getting some revenge and Boom! Huge international hit.

And they make great sidekicks too. Let’s see…there’s Stimpson J. Cat of Ren & Stimpy, Hobbes of Calvin and Hobbes, Scratchy of Itchy and Scratchy, and Shrek’s pal Puss in Boots to name a few. If you want your cartoon creation to become hugely popular and immortal, all you have to do is partner your shitty character with a cat character partner and you’re done.

It’s almost too easy. You can’t go wrong with a cat character, even if they’re the bad guy or girl. Continue reading »
