The Hunger Games Review -- Why Didn't They Just Burn Down The Tree?

The true star of the show was Elizabeth Banks' wardrobe/costume design

[Before we get this thing going, it should be noted that I fought hard by not putting “...More Like Hungry Lames” in my title for this post. I see it as a sign of maturity.]

Graphic Update: Joe The Barbarian

With moments of such honesty and self-awareness, it's a shame Joe The Barbarian's story is so clumsily inconsistent as it is poetic.

Joe The Barbarian isn’t my favorite comic. There is a middle-portion of the story that I found annoyingly boring. I kinda wanted to see a “Choose Your Own Adventure” segment of this book where the little runt dies. “Take that, kid with hypoglycemia and a newly dead, war veteran, father.”

Graphic Update: The Unexpected

A collection of works breathing life into the suspense and horror genre pulp comics once represented.

Work, photography and dance have been occupying a ton of my creative energies. Time to go back to my roots. That’s right. Writing grammatically incorrect sentences for the web.

You’re probably wondering why you are seeing my thoughts about comics again. Thanks to our unseasonably warm Sprinter [or is it Wring?], I’ve made it a point to dig through my ever growing backlog of comics, finding a park bench, and burying myself within pages of strange tales. I mean, it’s either that or writing about video games -- and I’m not in a rush to receive the poorly spelled death threats via tweet and e-mail. Let us frolic!

Chronicle Review -- Found Footage Failure

Poor Chronicle. It takes a special kind of movie to make nose-bleeding, telekinetics look boring as s**t.

Graphic Update: Asterios Polyp



I’m terrible at preparing for long distance travel. Choosing something to read on a flight gives me the sweats. In August I visited San Diego, I took Phonogram: Rue Brittania and Asterios Polyp. I’ll just say I’m glad I read “Phonogram” first. When you’re trapped on a plane with a crying baby and a man who smells like sour bratwurst, you’ll thank me for recommending this book.

Moneyball is a movie about how one man, no one expected much from, beat a system corrupted by money. Also, Jonah Hill's creepy stare

Review: Beats, Rhymes & Life -- The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest

A Tribe Called Quest posing for a photo. A reluctant photo that no one wanted to take.

One of the most important notes I took in any of my photography lectures, years back, was making a connection with an artist. Finding art and an artist to invest oneself to, becomes more difficult as any medium grows. There is a high chance you could expose yourself to a lot of crap art and crap artists [subjectively speaking]. When I look at this documentary on A Tribe Called Quest, it reminds me about the many movements that occur in art. It reminds me of my youth. It also reminds me of my initial hate of the group.
