"Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" or What I Learned About Historical Fiction

I've often said that horror movies should be like telling a good joke, you have the setup and then the punchline that brings it all together and brings out the laughter (or in the case of horror the terror), but the film featured above (Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood") was neither a joke nor a horror story but ultimately resulted in what I can only describe as a "Shower Revelation". A "Shower Revelation" for those who don't know is a concept where a person is told something that they don't quite understand until one day they're in the shower and suddenly they understand it COMPLETELY so much so that the revelation blows their mind. That's what "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" did for me SPOILER WARNING and I'll explain after the break. 

Comic Book Science

So there's this concept I've been meaning to share with you lot and this is a writing concept that goes above and beyond suspension of disbelief and that is something I call "comic book science". Wanna know more, let's dive in and figure out what it's all about.

"Doomsday Clock" Review

DC Comics has been in a rather screwed-up state for a while, haven't they? At least in my humble opinion ever since 2011's "Flashpoint" series and the introduction of "The New 52" DC has been a steady decline. I have no clue if this is true or not, but again in my humble opinion, this reboot of the universe caused me to view Grant Morrison's "Final Crisis" as the series finale to The DC Universe. And DC Comics has rebooted itself once again with DC Rebirth back in 2016 culminating in the miniseries in question, "Doomsday Clock". "Doomsday Clock" serves as an epilogue to the DC Rebirth storyline as well as a sequel to Alan Moore's maxiseries "Watchmen". Talk about big shoes to fill, I need not discuss the impact "Watchmen" had on the comic book scene at large both negative and positives and I need not discuss the utter and absolute failure the HBO series was (which was itself a sequel to "Watchmen"). Instead, I'm going to focus this review on what "Doomsday Clock" tried to do, and explain what it should have done (not doing it in the first place notwithstanding). So join me in this rabbit hole of craziness we call "Doomsday Clock"...

BAM, ANIME!! The Weirdness Of Anime

I saw a meme a while back and it got me thinking about the nature of anime. I'll share the meme below after the cut but do we ever really think about just how strange anime really is. Not to say that western cartoons aren't strange, many of them are, but anime just has this other realm of strangeness that no one really points out...except for now...here we go!
