We all know racism is a bad thing. “Don’t judge people by their skin color alone!” and so on are such common statements that I personally think they’re losing any sort of meaning to the general populace. But that’s a topic for another day.
The fact of the matter is, racism, sexism, and all of those [...]

So, lately, especially since the Frog Princess first came to light, there’s been all this talk about Disney’s “princess problem” and how they’re setting up their movies in an attempt to reverse that mentality. So of course I am sitting here, being an animated Disney movie fan myself, and marvelling on the bizarre nature [...]

So, yesterday was a great day.
I actually made real progress on cleaning up my apartment.
The Lunacy was Black Butterfly Moon.

When I first heard about the movie I was both thrilled and terrified; excited and trepidatious; anticipating and dreading it in equal parts. It could be good – very good. It could also be the absolute depths of deplorable inaccuracy.
However, back then, I wasn’t expecting this (YouTube).
But quickly, before you watch that trailer! [...]

You all know how it goes. You start with some niche interest or genre or style, get a few people really into it to start up a legit subculture. People see it and think “hey, that looks cool”. Companies think “hey, new market!” The former often doesn’t really get the genre/style/interest, [...]

There are a lot of problems with American society, most of which are ignored in favor of flashy or controversial subjects. Things like abortion, homosexual marriage, women’s rights, copyright infringement, and so on. The core issues, however, are overlooked or ignored for the large part. The things that are at the root [...]

Let’s start this off with some irrelevant ramblings, shall we?
I was in the mood for some fast food for dinner today, so I stopped by Wendy’s on the way home from the office. (If you don’t know what Wendy’s is, I am sad for you. I don’t think they have much of an [...]
