It turns out that I love the new Star Wars movie. I realize that this is not a popular opinion, and yeah I review movies regularly, and yeah that puts me into the camp of critic rather then enthusiast, but I really want you to hear me out on this one dear readers. Yes, the…
There are definite echoes and recurrences of the 1970s cropping up in film. It was a time of very serious filmmaking, when grit and resourcefulness were championed, emotions were raw and characters had very simple motivations. You killed my partner? I’m coming after you. We can’t make our marriage work? Let’s get divorced. Our crew…
I just came back from a fantastic date at the theatre – Star Wars Episode VIII was on the menu today; it was an early Christmas gift from my fiancee. Sweet deal right? As you may know by now, I love movies, and this was an ideal way for Mysticque and I to spend some…
Keeping it brief today friends, it’s May the fourth after all. I’d rather let things go down the way they’re supposed to. And yes, that is a cheesy graphic, but I honestly could not find much better for the joke in the way of license free content. So deal with it. And if you’re…

Decision making is hard, dear readers. And sometimes implementing an easy decision really is the wrong thing to do, while implementing the complex decision turns out to be the right one. Unfortunately for all of us, life is not quite so simple as those black and white principles, and even Luke Skywalker is probably…
The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master. – Darth Vader Of all the choices I could make to start this post off right, this is easily one of my favourite quotes from Star Wars because it demonstrates rather visibly resolution, the progression towards…
Fandom is broken. Well, that’s what Devin Faraci of Birth. Movies. Death. would have us believe anyway. Now, normally I don’t like to indulge the reaction post/video side of humanity on the Internet because I find doing so to be far too specific and not in the least satisfying – The problem being that creating content around…
You know that saying the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree? I was never a big fan of it myself, because when I was growing up I wanted to be my own man, with my own ideas; I didn’t want to bogged down by tradition and duplication. The problem with this attitude though…
