The Blank Page

Welcome, dear reader, to my blog. That’s right, I have a blog now. Recently, I found myself suffering from blog envy and, as we all know, there’s only one cure for that. Get blogging. Whether anyone asked you to or not.

I can’t promise this is going to be a weekly thing. Or monthly. I guess that all depends on how well the writing is going and just how distracting the world beyond my keyboard becomes. I can’t promise it’ll be much more than me talking about myself either. There might be some book and film reviews of a sort in there. Or some hype and hope for the many talented people I’m lucky enough to know. Still, I’ll do my best to make this as interesting as I can and keep you posted on exactly where me and my brain are when it comes to co-existing on a daily basis and telling stories. I’ll try and make some good points along the way and be as open with you as I can. If I can do that, then I think we’re off to a good start.

Brace yourselves, people.

Nostalgia, big lizards and teenage mood swings

Okay, I don’t do this very often. I really don’t. There was a time when I wrote reviews of every movie I went to see. Not for this for website, though. Not for anyone. I wrote them for me. For no reason at all, really. Spot the only child.

This is was back when I used to stick every cinema ticket to my bedroom wall. Which took a lot of blue tack and left a lot of holes when I moved out of my parents’ house.

Anyway, this weekend, I managed to watch a few movies, so I thought why not share my findings with the rest of the class.

Ticket Tape

Never mind. I don’t want to talk about DC. If I get onto DC, then I’ll have to talk about Marvel and how they’re going to ruin the MCU just by continuing to play the odds. They could have taken a step back with Endgame. It was a solid ending, it gave everything they’d been spinning together an arc. But, no, now it’s TV tie ins and cartoons and it won’t last. It can’t last. None of this can last. It’s going to reach a point where comic book movies become a joke.
