WEEKLY ROUND-UP 10/9-10/15 2011

WEEKLY ROUND-UP:

 My Brain is Full of F*** Week

Note: I'm sorry if I got my brain f*** on anyone this week.

7. WORD OF THE DAY 10/14/11. Multiverse Theory & Retcon

Sometimes I just feel like punching a hole into the very fabric of time and space; a punching so incredible it shatters and splinters reality so that it rolls back upon itself like an origami swan and produces something all the more terrible and ridiculous.

6. MUSICAL MONDAY! JOHN CARPENTER'S THE THING: THE MUSICAL

I really can't stress enough how much this movie has been running around my head since I watched it during my "Summer of 101 Movies." It is the perfect horror movie and, with a remake just coming out, everyone is talking about this classic film. Watch the 1982 film NOW!

5. WORD OF THE DAY 10/9/11. Temporal, Spatial/Spacial

Amy Pond is probably the most popular of the newer Dr. Who companions for several reasons. I like her because she doesn't feel like some random stray the Doctor has picked up along the way. Amy is with him for a reason and is not just a hanger on.

4. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/15/11. Dandy etc.

This one just has so many words that pretty much are fancier or more British synonyms for "idiot" and was just too much fun. Then again when I work with such an insane picture it is a lot easier to find inspiration.

3. STUFF I THINK ABOUT! THE CLOCKWORK GOD!

This one gets a little deep but, I hope, it will strike up some conversation. I find my philosophy in a lot of weird places and I really can't think of any work quite as provocative on the subject of "God" as Alan Moore's The Watchmen.

2. NERD CULTURE SMACKDOWN! WHO-LLOWEEN! PT 1

Not much to say about this one except that I am excited about making my October's Doctor Who themed.

 

1. SCI-FI FANTASY FRIDAY! ACTION SOCIETY! #6 Lora Faine

I really feel no need to apologize for putting these decadent little deviant dips into my dungeons and dragons delves in the top spot every week, do I? They get the most views, they're the most consistent and I feel more confident about writing fantasy every time I do one.

Word of the Day! 10/14/11

multiverse theory [muhl-tee-vurs-theer-ee]
noun
1. the concept that a hypothetical set of possible universes (including the historical universe that we inhabit) that together comprise every thing that has existed, exists or can exist:space, time matter, energy, etc.

retcon [reht-kahn]
noun
1. the common situation in fiction where a new story reveals things about events in previous stories, usually leaving the facts the same but changing their interpretation.
verb
1. the act of changing things in previous stories by ignoring certain facts that contradict the new chain of events established in the reconstructed continuity (abrev. retcon).

EX. In the DC Comics Universe, during the Infinite Crisis event, Superboy-Prime pounded on the barrier of reality that bonds the multiverse together, and his retcon punch sent ripples through out time and space that changed the past, present and future of multiple earths.

DAILY ROUND-UP! 10/5/2011
