Ah, the ageless debate of subtitles vs dubbing over with native voice actors. I have an opinion (shocker!). I am going to focus on anime because I haven't seen many/if any dubbed Bollywood or the like. And I'm ignoring bad kung fu dubs. Some of them are better for the cheesy words-don't-match-mouth-moving (the soccer one… Continue reading Anime: Subbed or Dubbed

Review: Trigun
I took vacation and re-watched Trigun for the bazillionth time. It's less than 10 hrs once you skip intros and credits on the episodes (26 episodes which run ~20m each). But this time, as with many things in my life I've been seeing things through a lens colored by the current world. Even trying to avoid… Continue reading Review: Trigun
Review: Pride & Prejudice
I love this book. I have it in at least 3 different forms and always have it loaded on my table and/or phone. It's one of the rare books I keep around to pick up and put down regularly. It isn't a great love story. Damn, I get mad about the women in the book… Continue reading Review: Pride & Prejudice
Writing: I want to write a TV Show
I have been re-listening to Ready Player One - and it has made me go from "dislike" to "UGH THE WORST" on the movie. I have moved my dial from "well, you can tell it was "inspired by" to "were they even trying?!?" And I know, they probably had a ton of difficulty getting rights to stuff… Continue reading Writing: I want to write a TV Show
Review (SPOILERS) Ready Player One [Movie]
I can't review Ready Player One without spoilers. I might be able to, but I'd have to go watch the trailer a bunch to make sure what I talk about is only from the trailer. Oh, but can I assume people HAVE read a book that's been out for 7 years? I generally have a ~1yr… Continue reading Review (SPOILERS) Ready Player One [Movie]
Review: A Wrinkle In Time (movie) Spoiler Free
I have cried during more movies in the past 12 months than I think I have the rest of my life. A Wrinkle In Time did it to me again. I loved this movie for so many reasons. I loved Meg and Charles Wallace. I thought both of them were so well crafted, you didn't need to… Continue reading Review: A Wrinkle In Time (movie) Spoiler Free
Review: Star Wars Last Jedi
I don't know if I can avoid spoilers. I am going to try. But if you (like me) did everything you could (including avoiding interviews) so you could go into this movie with as little knowledge as possible - well, I might let slip something you didn't want see. Fair? Good. I would give it a… Continue reading Review: Star Wars Last Jedi
Musings: Books I want to see on screen
I was looking through this article (here) about 100 books being (maybe) turned into movies. I found myself rolling my eyes at another remake of 1984. As much as I'm looking forward to (I hope!) a good movie version of A Wrinkle of Time, there are some titles I think are grossly missing from this list. #1:… Continue reading Musings: Books I want to see on screen
Review: Wonder Woman
I am not going to promise not to write spoilers. I'm going to try, but there may be things in this review that are not in the trailer and "spoil" the movie for you. Fair enough warning? I loved this movie. It wasn't "perfect" but it was close. I will gladly go see it again… Continue reading Review: Wonder Woman
Character Profile: The successful sidekick
I love and hate writing "side-kicks." These are the secondary characters who are useful and/or required for success in a novel. I love them because they give me a place to explore depths my protagonist doesn't have or a sounding board for my protagonist to discuss aspects of the novel. I hate them because I struggle… Continue reading Character Profile: The successful sidekick
