Trailer Time Everybody!
Only, this time I am going to try something new.
Instead of reviewing three different trailers, I’m doing one, Riff Style!
That’s right, I will be going through this second by second, and telling you my reactions.
And of course for my first time out, I chose a horror trailer. Continue reading
This is it.
The final.
The end.
This challenge has taken us through the depths of fiction, and now we stand ready to bring down the death-stroke.
To sever the head of the challenge, and bring glory to Coolerbs.com! Continue reading
It was so much fun the first time, let’s do it again!
But this time around, I will be limiting myself to only Japanese cartoons; also known as anime.
Now, the nature of this list is also a bit different, because, unlike 90’s cartoons, I have not seen every show ever made. So I am working from a much smaller pool of content, and I am sure that some of the more hardcore Otakus out there will be a bit cross with me by the end of this. Continue reading
So remember the challenge I did last week?
Well, Chuck Wendig decided that this weeks challenge will be for us to continue someone else’s story, but still not finish it.
So here we go again! I am continuing Kelly’s “Don’t Talk to the Dead” (click link for original article by Kelly)
The stuff in bold she wrote, while my continuation with remain in normal mode.
Ready? Let’s go!

No matter how many movies you watch, there is always more.
More trailers too; so let’s give them a look.
WELCOME! To another addition of…..
TRAILER TALK!
Interesting, interesting. Not the usual thing that I would watch.
This trailer makes this movie out as some sort of mixture of James Bond, and a Nicholas Sparks book.
Think about it. An attractive man comes to a small rural town, with intent to help out a family. Learning about the issues within, and making the family stronger as a unit.
Then, terrorists attack.
DUN.DUN.DUN!
With a premises like that, it really comes down to the execution. If they can make the family feel real, if they can make us care, then they will be able to pull it off.
Alternatively, if the family is s**t, then the action needs to kick-ass.
But from the trailer, it seems like the second will be the case. I just hope that they didn’t use it all up for the trailer.
I give it a 7 out of ten. Let’s see if the next one is a bit more, original.
That was….charming. No other word for it. Just absolutely charming. Made by a group that created two of my favorite movies. I am absolutely excited for this.
The only issue, is the trailer really does not tell me anything about the story.
Sure, it shows us the wonder, and beauty of claymation, lovingly filmed and set up. The city, especially, took my breath away. But that does not guarantee a good movie. Just a pretty one.
But damn…that lovely, charming, world they created.
I give the trailer 10 out of 10. The movie however, is not going to get any good will from that.
Okay, maybe a little.
One more to go!
What the hell!
Come on people! Another Human Centipede? Really?
Well at least the villain looks actually interesting. Also completely insane.
That’s important.
You see the funny thing is that I actually was interested, until he drugged him.
Up till then, I thought he was going to reveal some monster of the lake, or something like that.
But nope, he turns people into walruses. In Canada.
I would be forgiving if this was a comedy. But guess not, it looks like they are playing it straight.
So for letting me down, completely, I am going to give it the greatest dishonor I can muster.
A 1 out of 10!
It should feel ashamed.*
Alright, well, that concludes another addition of Trailer Talk. Tune in next time!
*If the movie does turn out a comedy, then I redact my earlier insults.

The life of a writer is complex; to survive it, you need just the right mind for the job. Able to deal with all sorts of things that other jobs/hobbies/purposes of existence, simply do not need to. There is a reason why people think writers are crazy. Just a sampling of what we deal with includes:
Hey guys. Surprise post!
A flash fiction; written by yours truly. It’s my entry for the Flash Fiction Challenge. A weekly contest hosted over at Terribleminds.com.
This weeks challenge? To write a 500 word story that is purposely unfinished. Then, someone else might come along and finish it. Who knows? But whatever the case, it was a lot of fun to write.

For a Whovian last Christmas, it was a time for celebration and festivities…….and soul crushing sadness. Because as of that Christmas day, Matt Smith stepped down from his perch and welcomed the new Doctor to the show.
If you have been a fan of this series for long enough, then you know that it was inevitable. The Doctor that you have come to love, will always leave. Be it from radiation poisoning, or from simply a lump on the head, the Doctor always says goodbye.
I remember it well, when Christopher left the show. He was my first doctor and I was not aware of the process of regeneration. You can imagine the shock when I saw my new favorite character just suddenly die. Taking the whole of time and space and trying to hold it, just to save Rose Tyler. Hurting him almost as much as it hurt me to watch it. Leaving me in a lump of emotions, staring at a dark screen. Continue reading
Looking around the site, you might notice that I have changed a few things.
That my friends, is an understatement.
The old site looked dreary, unprofessional. I kept looking at it and secretly hating my website.
Well no more. Continue reading
