Learning to be Terser…

…in which I talk about my style of writing and share with you the insights of my creative process.
Earlier this week, I posted my personal thoughts on Inglourious Basterds, an article which I greatly anticipated sharing. I was very proud of my process in preparing and writing the review, and was equally proud of the result. One thing I have learned in my writing, is that I frequently surprise myself. When I am writing, the process almost becomes more like reading as the story flows from me of its own accord. This does, however, lead to a lot of unexpected turns and discoveries that then must be focused and refined. As with most writing, it contained more than I had expected, and simultaneously still overlooked key points I intended to cover. The process of writing is a compromise with ones self to share that which needs to be shared without losing your reader, but not sacrificing your voice.

…in which I talk about our advance screening of Transformers 2, and pretty much nothing else.
Last night we had the opportunity, thanks to Chase at Gordon and the Whale, to see Transformers 2 in an advance screening.

Thanks again, Chase, for hooking me up! › Continue reading

Had it come out any earlier or any later I would have likely missed it and just waited for it to come to DVD. But having seen it in the theater, I know now that I would have been disappointed if I had been forced to wait.

A Movie of Depreciating Value…

…in which I talk about my love for movies, even the bad ones.
I love movies. I mean, I really love movies. I will watch the worst movies you’ve seen and enjoy myself, usually finding at least one small part that is redeemable. I watch some really bad movies sometimes, just because of a particular actor, director, writer, or theme. I have a really bad habit of adding movies to my Netflix queue simply because the description “sounds interesting.” As a result, my Netflix queue has over 400 movies on it, many of which I don’t recognize or even remember why I added them in the first place. › Continue reading

…in which I talk about stuff, trying to make up for missing a week.
I’ve got three computers installing software on my desk right now, so I’m going to take a moment to just ramble mindlessly. › Continue reading
