Musings of Madness 2018.3 The Harm of Misunderstanding Fairy Tales

Musings of Madness 2018.3 The Harm of Misunderstanding Fairy Tales

I read an article about Frozen actor Kristen Bell who was ‘troubled’ by the Disney Princesses of the past. In particular Snow White. Kristen Bell said the following in Parent Magazine:

“Every time we close Snow White I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s weird that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never…

Script Doctor! Doctor Who's The Woman Who Fell to Earth

Script Doctor! Doctor Who’s The Woman Who Fell to Earth

I fell out of love with Doctor Who sometime during the Matt Smith’s 2nd season (or series 6). Why? Well, for the simple reason: the writing was awful. Characters had terrible conclusions, continuity was disrupted/ignored for no reason, stories rehashed ideas continuously from past seasons, each finale was about the Doctor dying, or how time is broke, and where fan-service would have kept viewers…

"So What" Fiction: A Response to Pat Barker's Despairing Over Contemporary Fiction

In a recent Guardian article about Booker Prize-winner, Pat Barker, she claimed that:

Contemporary fiction is going through a “so what” moment, with very few novels generating a real sense of passion in readers

Maybe she’s got a point? The top five best sellers on the New York Times Best Sellers list (on the day of writing this piece) are:

Vince Flynn: Red War is a political thriller, An…

Musings of Madness 2018.2 (How I Write)

Star Wars The Last Jedi REVIEW (Spoilers)

It’s no secret that I walked out of The Force Awakens scratching my head thinking: That was shit! Rey, Finn, Kylo, and Snookie, did nothing for me. The plot was weak, uninspired and, puts on the gloves,  – Max Landis was right – Rey was a Mary Sue. The leads didn’t have that spark that made, Leia, Han and Luke so damn loveable from the start.

Does The Last Jedi solve this? Not really.

For better…

Professional Human Blog – Musing of Madness 2017.1

I’m going old school. I’m writing. Not even about a movie or tv show or book, but I’m writing a blog. About ME! Cause I’m massively narcissistic. Let’s be honest, this area of my website has been dusty, filled with cobwebs, and large black spiders. I think a few squirrels and a trash panda got in here too. Thus, I thought it was time to clean the room up, open the curtains, and let you in on the…
