This isn’t a bitch and whine session. I don’t think they’re evil. I don’t think they’re brilliant. I just don’t understand them. Moriarty just posted an ‘Open letter to Harvey…’ concerning the less than confident release of Outlander. First of all, Moriarty is a total muppet. He writes as if he believes he is going … Continue reading
I like assassins, always wanted to be one. The idea of impersonally killing people for money sits well with me. And, while we could all write books about what “might have been,” I live in Hollywood and can sometimes write screenplays that bring a blurry version of what “might have been” to reality. Such was … Continue reading
In many ways, What Ever Happened To… can be applied to any member of the famous Brat Pack from the 1980s. Here was a group that could do no wrong in the eyes of the movie going public.

Last thing I ought to be is a drop in the ocean-bucket of Dark Knight pontifications, but this is a character close to my heart, so what the hell, here’s my un-review: Mostly, I totally loved it. There were a lot of great moments and when I say great I mean astounding. … Continue reading
– The weakest E3 of all time is still the greatest thing you’ve ever experienced, if you’ve never been there before. I can’t count how many new games I played and saw demoed last week. – Game journalists have a very close-knit group that’s tough to get into. They’re all generally very cool, personable people, … Continue reading
