With the Golden Globes come and gone, it won’t be long before Oscar nominations are revealed. Next Tuesday in fact. By this time in Awards Season, all of the major players are set in stone, although an occasional spoiler or upset will occur (think “The Pianist” in 2002, or “Shakespeare in Love” in 1998), and […]
2010 has been an interesting year for me, both in my moviegoing and in my life in general. On the latter, I released my fourth album; got in a car accident, totaling my second truck in two years; reconnected with a dear friend; expressed interest in dating said friend, only to discover she was interested […]
**Updated December 27, 2010** This is about the time of year when most critics are looking back at the year we’re finishing. I will be doing that soon enough (still have a lot of movies to catch up on), but for now, I’m going to look forward. Right now, 2011 looks to be an exciting […]
Last year at Dragon*Con, it was less a communal experience and more just me going around, enjoying myself, and seeing what it had to offer. Yes, I met people there, but other than that it was just me- or me and Ron, or me and my mom- walking around and trying to get as much […]
The problem with being a geek at Dragon*Con is…there’s so much to take in. You have to pick and choose the panels you want to go to carefully, and chances are, you’ll miss out on a lot of stuff you would’ve liked to see. This year, I felt the geek’s burden pretty hard. Sometimes time […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Another summer come and gone. Sadly, not as productive as previous ones due to, well, a lot of things. Albums to finish. Pieces to record. Oxygen to wait for. And, well, a lot of other stuff. Still, what I saw ended up putting a smile on my face…well, the best stuff […]
By the end of the day Friday, my mother had a room at the Marriott for the night, while I had to go home so I had something to wear for Saturday. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to have a room for next year though, or even would’ve minded staying in one this year. […]
It was about 6:30am when the drugs kicked in…the knowledge that in a few hours time, I would be in a place of fantasy, wonder, and awe. And B.O. LOTS of B.O. Yup, it was that time of year again. My second-straight trip to Atlanta’s own Dragon*Con, the annual Labor Day convention of all things […]
See what I did there. I made it clever…ish. Anyway, this year’s January-April look back is going to be structured a bit differently. The reason? The usual format doesn’t really fit because, at this venture, I haven’t really seen anything that out-and-out sucked. Plus, for some time I’ve been meaning to post an explanation of […]
“How on Earth is music going to figure into this series?” Ahhh, but that’s the $64 question I’d been asking myself as I headed into “Baron Wasteland.” Intended to be a documentary-esque series, with so much dialogue & speaking about the projects, would I be able to work in music into the narrative of these […]
