Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Uggh! I almost don’t want to write this but I am cathartically forcing myself to because it needs to happen. Star Wars was a huge part of my life for 20 years or so. I built it up in my own mind, played out storylines in various games I played, and dreamed up many more…
I really had to sit on this for a while, because SW TLJ is a very bold movie. It apparently has divided Star Wars fandom considerably, from the Dragon*Con fanboys down to the casual fans. I have to respect Rian Johnson for his bold moves and his attempt to make it his own tale. But…
This guy has a lot to say about Star Trek, and I largely agree. He hits on an important point about old and new Star Trek that can be applied broadly. Star Trek, however, illustrates it more poignantly because it has a considerable amount of history, as well as intelligence built into it. It also had a single man behind it…
I am sorry to say that I have to agree with this guy 100%. What i like about this is that it goes beyond the same old complaint of “it’s a rehash of the first movie.” It was bad for more than that.
A couple of things have prompted me to type this up. First, the Everything Wrong with guys posted their take on SW7. And I could not agree more. Now this does not mean I hated the movie or I want people to hate the movie, but there were quite a few things that bothered me story-wise…
I have said before that I am struggling with my Star Wars fandom after seeing SW7. There was so much to like but there were flaws, some of which I just could not put my finger on. Well, finally someone has. Max Landis, in his own uncensored (language warning) and spoiler filled way, speaks to…
NO SPOILERS TO FOLLOW I just got back from seeing the movie of the year; the movie that all geekdom was anticipating – Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I am torn. I was very cynical going in and I came out very conflicted. To fully understand where I am at now, perhaps I should look…
So the third and final trailer has come out for Episode 7 and I feel like I need to comment. I am going to comment on two subjects. First and foremost is my general feeling about the new movies as a once diehard fan burned by the crap that was Episode 1-3. Secondly, a more…
I had a discussion with a friend on IM that got me thinking… Is there a point that your fandom of something will break and you have to move on to something else? Or is it fair-weather fandom to give up on something after it crosses a certain line? I`ve been this way about two…
Something got me started thinking, and I figured I would share my thoughts with the rest of the group. I don’t want to be flamed, just want to provoke thought. What got me started thinking was one of those “evil” cross-over questions. The question was this…. “In a battle of psionic power, who would win?…
