Trailer Talk: Batman vs. Superman, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, and Ted 2

I’ve missed out on reviewing some BIG trailers lately.

So I say it’s about time for a…

Trailer Talk!

Starting with:

Batman vs. Superman

Oh, the delicious dichotomy. The current Superman movie was terrible, but the recent Batman movies were all really good.

So I must ask, who’s directing this one? The guy who made Man of Steel…and Sucker Punch? Oh, this is going to be such a let down. Continue reading

Special Flash Fiction: Guitar Case- Part 2

I now present the second part of Guitar Case!

If you haven’t read the first part, then click here: PART ONE

For the rest of you, let’s begin.

And indeed he was not curious, there was no reason to open the case. It was a backup guitar. It was only there in case his main one broke. So far, he had never needed to open it. Continue reading

Special Flash Fiction: Guitar Case- Part 1

This is not my normal sort of story. It’s not horror, it’s not sci-fi. Hell, it’s not even satirical.

No, instead this is a story about something deep, and sacred.

A story presented in two parts, entitled:

Guitar Case

There was once a musician who played in a local bar. A haggard man, aged around thirty, a fan of cigarettes, and of a certain amber liquid. He was not a cruel man, not by any stretch of the imagination. He had simply been left alone for too long. Continue reading

Review: Home

Home is a difficult movie to talk about. Mainly because it is a massive waste of potential. There is an echo of a good film here. Hints of nuanced morals and allegories. But all of that is thoroughly kneecapped by being shoved into the template of a kid-friendly movie.

Flash Fiction: Authorial Intent

Writers create people.

People they control.

But sometimes, those people rebel.

A story about stories called:

Authorial Intent

Jimmy Twostep was a good man; he paid his bills when he could, and loved his wife and child dearly. He lived a rather normal life, a mundane life.  But today was special, today was good: the sun was shining, the breeze was a gentle pleasure, and the air smelled of flowers in bloom. It was by all regards quite the perfect day for Jimmy.  It was a shame then, that on this beautiful Friday, he was destined to die. Continue reading

News: Patrons of the Arts

WE NOW INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG ARTICLE FOR A SPECIAL REPORT FROM BRANDON SCOTT!  

Hi, it’s…uh, me: Brandon Scott.

I was hesitant to write this article. I spent a few days flipping back and forth on the issue of even typing it up. I’m not really sure how you guys will take it, or what you’ll think of me for doing this…but in the end I decided to go through with it.

Ugh, the thing I’m dancing around here, the thing that I keep avoiding saying, the thing I’m stalling on is…well…I’m doing a Patreon campaign.

Now, don’t take this the wrong way. Continue reading

Flash Fiction: Candles And Hollow Men

This story is surreal. It’s strange. It’s downright weird.

It’s a symbolic tale of a man’s fight to remain whole.

It’s called:

Candles And Hollow Men

By the light of a double flame I saw my death, half-obscured by the shadows of an empty cabin at night. Continue reading

Book Review: “The Labyrinth Wall” by Emilyann Girdner

“I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future and in some way involve the stars.”

-Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

Flash Fiction: Snow Days

It’s getting towards summer time, so I thought I would write a horror story set in an apocalyptic winter.

The idea made sense at the time.

So button up your coats, and don your winter caps, because this is a flash fiction called:

Snow Days

There are very few times when smoke pooling out of your mouth is a good sign. Continue reading
