I was thinking of addressing something like this, so I am very glad Star Trek Phase II show runner David Gerrold posted this rant to his Facebook page. He makes a great point but is missing one important part.
He calls out the fans for being disrespectful of the people who make the films, saying that Trek fans should act like Trek fans and be tolerant and such. But what about those who MAKE the films. Should they not also be held at least to the same level of civility? Continue reading »
Forgive me for I have sinned…I went and paid money to see CHAPPiE. And you know it was not all that bad overall.
The movie can best be described as being better in total than it’s separate parts would indicate. There’s plenty to not like about the movie throughout, but all in all I actually enjoyed it.
Of course, Spoilers!
There’s plenty of thuggery and lawlessness, and perhaps that was not necessary. Why the producers decided to make this film the way they did…I just don’t know. Perhaps there is some meaning to it, some sort of man vs machine version of moral equivalency. The movie seems to be saying that we humans are no better than machines, that we are all messed up too.

gnome (nōm) n.
A pithy saying that expresses a general truth or fundamental principle; an aphorism.
Gnome #1:
People will pay a lot of money to see movies with fish in them.
(Gnome #1.5: Whales count as fish. Dolphins too. Perhaps penguins. )
It’s true. I don’t claim to understand it entirely, but throw a few fish into a 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 dozens of fish movies, all of them great and popular.
Fish movies are practically their own underrated powerhouse of a genre that hits the Box Office totals like a sucker punch below the belt. Continue reading »
Recently, Kris Silver returned to the internet with Silverwolf.info. Although the site is basically a beefed up version of his former shop and is still being developed, there’s already quite a few rare, behind-the-scenes artifacts from Silverwolf and Greater Mercury’s short publishing span available for the first time.
For the first time many one of a kind or very rare items are being offered for the public. Things like original comic book scripts, artwork, company newsletters, layout and publishing negatives have been slowly being added to the site. And of course there are copious amounts of back issues from both companies (in near mint condition no less) to fill any holes in your collection. It’s worth noting that there is a flat $3 shipping for all orders, which Moby likes. Continue reading »
Pre-orders have already started over at Amazon.com!
Jessica Riddle’s new album to be released on April 3, 2015!
The new album is titled I Like Mine and contains 12 tracks.
Jessica entered the spotlight years ago with the single ‘Even Angels Fall’ from her first album, Key of a Minor. Her follow up album, Chapter 2 was quite a bit angrier and darker. The great news for fans like myself is that this one seems to be a lot happier and plenty of the samples have good upbeat rhythms.
Below are the cover for the album, and the track listing.
Again, you can pre-order the album (MP3 Download version) for only $8.99 right now at Amazon.
Also available on iTunes.
You can follow Jessica via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jessriddlemusic
If your in Austin, TX on April 3rd, why not stop by Antone’s Record Shop on Sunday, April 5 at 3:00pm for the release party?
