Cigarettes? Newsletter? Substack?
Seems like every post of advice for aspiring authors is that they should have a newsletter, so does that sound like a good idea? I don't know how many followers I have, much less how many of them are bots, and this isn't exactly a blogging platform. Tumblr's dead, Twitter's... X. So if anyone's going to hear what I think about movies, it might as well be in e-mail.

| It's not much more than the sum of its parts. There's a convoluted setup where our hero ends up going undercover as his partner while *the partner* is going undercover as an efficiency expert, then people start dying, so Wonderboy has to figure out w ...more | |

| Well, this is just fucking Pandorum (2009) now isn't it? There's no real horror elements. The monsters are thinly described and lack any of the charm you want from a good creature feature. There's maybe a dozen characters but none of them have much i ...more | |

| Two novellas. The first is pretty standard cops and robbers stuff--fun in a Tracer Bullet sorta way, but obviously lesser Spillane. The plot hinges on the hero getting wind of his superior being corrupt, not having any proof, then marching into his o ...more | |

| Five hundred pages, brother, show mercy. To give you an idea of how overwritten this is, we start off with our hero Bannon laid up in the hospital in 1946 or so. He's given a bunch of research on an old case that I guess roughly corresponds to these ...more | |

| Kinda feels like a swollen novella. For a hundred pages, the narrator goes on about his ennui as a student, then a hundred pages about his time in the military, then a hundred pages about his life as a drug addict and bank robber. Half the time the p ...more | |

| In a phrase, too much of a good thing. At almost three hundred pages, it's too long for a pulpy thrill ride and it gets to the point where it's working against its premise of setting an adventure on Route 66. Because there's a time when every reveal ...more | |

Son, I am disappoint. From top to bottom, this book is just milquetoast. It's a fast read, but with nothing that sticks to the ribs. And aside from some graphic violence, it's thoroughly YA, reminding me a LOT of Sky High only without the charm and wh ...more |

| 2.5 stars. An old-school melodrama with so much loving that it'd be softcore if all the prose wasn't so purple. Frigid Elizabeth Carnes is unhappy in her marriage to George and so steps out on him with Jim, a hippie-drippie artise who constantly nave ...more | |

| A corporate soap opera; sort of a demake of Dynasty, but back when businessmen were expected to be morally forthright and faithful to their wives instead of... *gestures about* you know. So as can be expected, it's not half-as-lurid as the copy or th ...more | |

“We were back over on the East Side, at a little, smoky black juke joint called the Congo Bongo Club, having a beer. Well, Leonard was having a beer. I was having a nonalcoholic beer. The place served them, but they seemed embarrassed about it. The bartender, who was also the waiter, kinda slunk over and put it on the table like a patient giving a pretty nurse a urine sample.”
