Two movies I can’t wait to see.
The Coens have been all over the place with their last few movies, No Country for Old Men looks to be more in the vein of Miller Crossing, Fargo, and the Man Who Wasn’t There than some of their broader stuff. Thankfully a wider audience be exposed to [...]

Remeber in school often once a year they’d have Career Day?
People’s relatives might come in and discuss what a lawyer does. What it’s like to be a firefighter or nurse.
Memory doesn’t serve me, if any journalists or writers ever spoke. There’s only one adult that I knew that wrote fiction and worked at a newspaper, [...]

No Life!
July 30th, 2006 · No Comments · My $0.02
The last few weeks, I’ve been pouring over the work of Ed Brubaker, current writer of Marvel’s Captain America, X-Men, and Daredevil. For at least a year, everyone I know who loves crime comics screams Brubaker’s name whenever they’re stuck listening to me complain about having nothing good to read.
