Vincent Price is one of my favorite actors of all time - His cat-that-ate-the-canary grin, his singular, attention-grabbing weirdness, a voice that seemed to control every corner of the room. He appears as if the horror genre itself conjured him.

Some of my anime friends don't follow politics as much, so let me explain it this way: Chuck Schumer is like the guy in every One Piece flashback who says we should trust the bad guy, and then in the next episode, the bad guy has hit foot on Chuck's back while Chuck says "BUT...BUT YOU PROMISED ME!"

For most of the original 1954 Godzilla, the monster serves as a horrific nuclear metaphor - atomic doom incarnate. However, for one scene at the end, you get to see him rather aimlessly walking around on the ocean floor, and it's always struck me as such a profoundly lonely moment.

It's been 3 years since Kevin Conroy passed away and I don't know if we'll ever find a more soulful, baroque Batman performance. A voice full of bravery and anger and pain in equal measure.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a great game if you enjoy a delightfully cartoonish aesthetic, refreshing gameplay, interesting puzzles, and repeating the same central dungeon roughly 4,000 times.

There was a point where I was writing a blog revolved around trying to watch an episode of every show that had ever won an Emmy (didn't get far) but one of the biggest delights of it was finding a test episode of Pantomime Quiz, in which Price plays Charades.

Whenever I see a headline like "Why is EVERYONE reading PERFORMATIVELY these days?", I immediately disregard the article because that is not the work of a serious person but rather someone that has been driven mad by the fact that they don't have enough attention.

Working through copy edits on the new book and I don't know of a more undervalued part of the publishing industry. I can feel it becoming better as I go along. Copy editors are a godsend.

I still do not believe that any of the Star Wars prequels are good movies. That said, they do have a few interesting themes, some awesome scenes, and a handful of weirdly engaging performances and none of these things ever happen at the same time. It makes them fascinating.

I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.
