Ok so I wrote the following for Deathscribe 2011—which is, for those who came in late, a contest for live performances of original short – horror themed – radio plays. And since your friend and humble narrator was once again  rejected. Which is getting to be an annual event where this particular contest is concerned. So anyway, Until

Hadn’t exactly occurred to me before Alyssa Rosenberg wrote this post espousing the virtues of the unbelievably tripped out Jim Shooter Dazzler treatment that’s been floating around the internets all week, but in addition to being Baz Luhrmann on peyote and maybe some crystal meth insane (but in a good way) the aforementioned treatment-approach solves

Ok so there are two things on your friend and humble narrator’s mind today. First … the question of how to effectively respond to the sorry spectacle of Cornel West having engaged in a petty fit of (anti President Obama) pique that was – in no uncertain terms – a full throated defense of the sclerotic community

It’s 10:15 on a Saturday night … ok no. Actually it’s 3:15, but 10:15 sounds better right? Anyway I’m on this whole song title post title kick and whatever so. And y’know what, I need you to put however sad that sounds behind you, because I’ve just read something that you might want to check

Ok so in a way that is wholly disconnected from any subconscious attempt to avoid penning the “Why My Twitter Avatar isn’t Red” post that’s been kicking around in my head for a week or so … Extreme insomnia + the other day’s musing over the effect a Buffy The Vampire Slayer successful T’Challa: The

Ok so for some reason in no way related to anything pilot episode like-ish your friend and humble narrator here at 2112 happens to be writing at the moment (no really, I swear) and owing to some to a depressing amount of fever induced down time … there’s been some re-watching of Buffy the Vampire

Ok so I wrote the following about two weeks ago as an entry for Deathscribe 2010—which is, for those who came in late, a contest for live performances of original short – horror themed – radio plays. Which a friend and I just happened to catch last Halloween at Chicago’s one and only Music Box

So tonight’s post on 2112 was going to be all about how much I often want to junk-punch guys like Tavis Smiley, Roland Martin and Michael Eric Dyson with a brick and how and why I think I outta be allowed to for the sake of Christmas and  puppies and also to promote general cultural

“Loeb told CBR News, adding that after catching the first flight from Los Angeles to New York Monday morning to meet with Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley, the job has so far involved finding a way to make Marvel’s independent publishing identity work with Disney’s broader broadcast division. “We (Marvel and Disney) all want the same

I’d like share my thoughts re X-Men Origins: Wolverine with anyone who happens by 2112 today, but I honestly just don’t know how to say what I want to say. I mean, somewhere, some-when, someone will know exactly how to respond to a production like X-Men Origins: Wolverine with decisive-descriptive language. Some future personage –
