Classic Movie Review – Citizen Kane
—
Given that I list films and the cinema as one of my major passions it is a bit of a mystery why there are some films that I haven’t seen. I don’t mean obscure, arty films that no one has seen, I mean ones that regularly turn up on those lists of best films of…

Reset, Chinese Ground Hog’s day TV show
—
Reset is a 15-episode series on YouTube about a young man and woman caught in a Groundhog Day-style temporal loop. The series is set in the picturesque city of Xiamen, China. The episodes all have English subtitles that are usually easy to keep up with. Occasionally, the dialog would come too fast to read, but that’s…

Films that need to be made into Horror Movies | Spookyastronauts
—
in HorrorMovies that aren’t horror movies, but should be. Here’s the TL;DW Emma discusses remaking non-horror movies into horror films, focusing on unique premises that could be twisted into dark narratives. She proposes several film ideas for this concept, including “Drop Dead Fred,” envisioning it as a horror-comedy where the imaginary friend turns into a murderous…

TED-Ed: Why should you read “Dune” by Frank Herbert
—
Dune is oftentimes mentioned as one of the greatest works of science fiction. I tend to disagree. It clearly deserves to sit on the shelf with the greatest literary works, but Dune isn’t science fiction. People commonly use the genre science fiction as a catchall for any story that takes place in the future, or…

Independent Film Review – Frankenstein: Legacy
—
I’m sure there must be a term for a story that is an extension of an earlier story. Extended narrative perhaps? Whatever…I’m sure someone could tell me in the comments. Anyway, Frankenstein: Legacy is set in a shared universe with the original Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Basically, it takes up the…

The Martian-Deleted Scenes and Additional Footage
The Martian is, hands down, one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s a great example of science fiction at its best because it barely feels like a science fiction movie. It really feels like a recreation of an actual event. Actually, it feels like they just filmed a real event. If you think…

RunPee Dune Hub
I’m probably not the right person to write this. No…I’m definitely not the right person to write this! You’d be much better informed if Dan or Jilly had written an introduction to this Dune mini-hub. Perhaps they’ll write something better and just get rid of my nonsense. You see, the problem is that I have…

Movie Review – Dune: Part Two
—
I have read all of Frank Herbert’s DUNE books many times, and a few that were written by his son Brian. I can unequivocally say that the DUNE is my favorite science fiction series. The depth of the universe that Herbert creates is rivaled only by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. This is why it…

Stranger Things Watch Journal (Season 1)
—
TL;DR A well-written show that appeals to a broad age range. I was a senior in high-school when this show takes place—1984. There is a lot of nostalgia in this for me, although I was, regrettably, never a D&D player. I watched the show with my wife and mother. Both enjoyed the show as much…
