Okay, so I imagine most of you guys have absolutely no idea what this movie is, let alone what makes it so absolutely batshit insane that I had to make a review about it. And I don’t blame you. I’d never really heard of this movie either, at least until I saw it on a... Continue Reading →

The grand story of our escape from one of the most secluded, dangerous and inescapable prisons in the world began the day that I punched Llyr Sharpedge in the face.  Now, let me make things perfectly clear right off the bat. I did not punch Llyr Sharpedge because he had a stupid name. He did have a... Continue Reading →

Author's Note: This Story is a sequel to Scrapping and Sidekicking. Read Parts One and Two here.   As far as much of her friends and neighbours were concerned, Tiff was not a particularly complex girl. Not to say she was shallow or unemotional, mind. On the contrary, she could be very emotional when she felt... Continue Reading →

1940 Highest Grossing Film: Rebecca Best Picture: Rebecca What happened this year? Pretty big year for cartoons actually.

1937 Highest Grossing Film: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Best Picture: The Life of Emile Zola What happened this year? So apparently this was a surprisingly good year for literature.

1935 Highest Grossing Film: Mutiny on the Bounty- $4,460,000 Best Picture: Mutiny on the Bounty What happened this year?

1934 Highest Grossing Film: The Merry Widow- $2,608,000 Best Picture: It Happened One Night (which is great, fyi) What happened this year? More shitty Nazi stuff.

This was shortly followed by Hitler declaring... Continue Reading →
