The Avengers
When you have a motley collection of strong characters and a plot involving world invasion, who else do you get to direct but Joss Whedon? Long anticipated, The Avengers brings together the heroes of the Marvel universe for one almighty shin-dig. The question is: how do these superheroes, each worthy a film of their own, play together?

Game of Thrones 2.02: The Night Lands
The pieces are moving on the chess board that is Game of Thrones, and it is Tyrion Lannister who is making the most moves. After the slaughter of children that ended last week, Tyrion is further incensed to Make Right in King’s Landing - even if it is his own particular brand of justice.

Examination of a scene: Cersei and Littlefinger
In the Game of Thrones season opening episode “The North Remembers” there is a scene that is not from the book. That is not to say it did not happen; the Point of View writing of A Song of Ice and Fire leaves plenty of room for such scenes to occur, just we the readers do not witness them.

Except somewhere along the way, they actually made a classy, fun, ( Read more... ) -
Getting published
My friend George Ivanoff, for his blog Literary Clutter, has asked me to write several hundred words on my first paid publication. My story “Such Is Life” appears in “Dead Red Heart“, a collection of Australian-themed vampire stories. While it’s hardly my first ever published work, everything prior has been “self-published” - in fanzines like The ( Read more... ) -
World of Warcraft addiction
My name is Jeremy, and I’m a WoW addict.
I haven’t touched WoW for… I don’t really recall, maybe six months.
I started playing a bit over six years ago. I tried to give up several times, but like any addiction it’s difficult to do so. Blizzard through WoW had created a virtual Skinner box, a Pavlov’s Dog experiment, designed to keep all of us ( Read more... ) -
Geek Babe
Been a while since I've done of these, but seeing this woman (admittedly when she was much younger) reminded me how much I liked her in the TV version of 10 Things I Hate About You.
