Supervirtues: 10 Virtues to Strive For, and Heroes Who Embody Them

Posted on December 28, 2017 by

I hate New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps “hate” is too strong a word. I just don’t hold with them, I suppose. I mean, I can appreciate the desire to improve oneself, and I can see the poetry in making oneself a … Continue reading →

Whoo! 100 Follows!

Posted on September 18, 2017 by

I woke up this morning to my hundredth follower. 🙂 I’m pretty good, most of the time, at deflating my own ego, so I am reminding myself that it’s not like I’m King of the World or anything. Nearly three … Continue reading →

Concerning Netflix and Online Streaming Services: Houston, Do We Have a Problem?

Posted on August 17, 2017 by

It occurs to me, it is somewhat ironic to post this just one day before Netflix publishes Marvel’s latest addition to their cinematic universe, The Defenders. (you may expect a review forthcoming!) But what can I say? I get thoughts, … Continue reading →

This is one of those things that I only just realized, but is so obvious. Count the cineverses, which I define as distinct properties existing within the same cinematic continuity. 1: The Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2: The DC Extended Universe. … Continue reading →
