One of my favorite shows is “Game of Thrones.” I love the show so much I immediately began reading the books. Author George R.R. Martin has created a vast, fascinating world populated with unique and memorable characters. Some of these characters stories are not only compelling but are also great premises for sitcoms. So, here’s a list of sitcom spin offs for “Game of Thrones.” Feel free to leave comments. Read the rest of this entry »
Review: Timeline: The History of WWE 1997 with Jim Cornette

1997 was a compelling year for the WWE. On TV it was one of the most exciting times with the USA vs. Canada feud, the rise of Steve Austin, the birth of the Rock, the formation of Degeneration X, the coming of Kane, and Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were on a collision course both inside and outside the ring which would culminate in one of the most controversial moments in wrestling history. Behind the scenes it was a nightmare. WWE was being slaughtered by WCW in the ratings and PPV buys thanks to the amazing (but beaten to death) NWO storyline. Despite these set backs everything was in place for the company to do the best business in its history. All they needed was a spark. In Kayfabe Commentaries “Timeline (the History of WWE) 1997 with Jim Cornette” the legendary manager/writer/booker takes us on a journey to the moment where the spark was found and ignited what would become known as “the Attitude Era.” Read the rest of this entry »

Love him or hate him, Grant Morrison can always start a conversation. As one of the most successful writers in comic books, Grant Morrison’s body of work boasts legendary runs on New X-Men, JLA, All Star Superman, We3, and Arkham Asylum: A Strange House on Strange Earth. (Which I adapted into a play. Yes, shameless plug) While others like The Invisibles, The Filth, and Final Crisis have been called incomprehensible. One way or another people have an opinion of him. So when I found out his writing a book about super heroes and philosophy, I was curious. Read the rest of this entry »

Holy Hilarity: Looking at Frank Miller’s “Holy Terror”

When discussing “Holy Terror,” Frank Miller has been very upfront that it’s a propaganda piece. Its goal is to paint the enemy in the most awful light possible to rally support.

Propaganda is supposed to be one-dimensional. Did you expect it to be anything else? So onto the next question, is it any good? Read the rest of this entry »
