christheorange: always at school Even worse are those who cite Harmony Korine or Jodorowsky or even Ozu. Yeah we get it, you read the text book. It still doesn’t make you any better than the Scorsese and Tarentino crowd.

It’s days like this that I think about that old Davy Crockett quote, “You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas,” and think, what’s the difference?

steampunk-hipster: So, the other day I was cleaning out my old books when I came across some of my old Edge Chronicles books. These books were some of my favorites when I was younger. They always had interesting characters, great settings, and a pretty well-developed and immersive world. I began to read a bit of the first book, and I forgot some of the great creativity that when into the design of the world. The author thankfully avoids using the same tired and tried fantasy races (elves, dwarves, etc.) and instead substitutes them with his own creations. Some of my personal favorites where the giant, tooth-laden man-eating trees, the giant translucent sentient insects, and a shapeshifting boogeyman which stalks through woods trying to lure wary travellers to an unsuspecting death. While the stories did tend to get convoluted (I still have no Idea why the main character changes to a completely different person in a completely different time period), they were always memorable. The locations in these stories were also great, such as the large underground hive populated by hobgoblins and their massive hive mother (complete with apron, bonnet and cooking skills!). I’d really like to see these books adapted to some kind of film. What do you all think? Have any of you read these books? Could a decent movie be deriven from them? I’d prefer a Legend of Korra-esque high quality series on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. I just don’t know if it would even be possible to capture the full greatness of Chris Riddell’s Dr. Seuss meets Yes album covers style artwork adequately.

If my posts start getting more emotionally bizarre than normal, (if that’s even possible), it’s not entirely my fault. Having to take college summer session classes that require grades higher than B-’s calls for desperate measures.

Between reading up on the Florida face eater and the Russian drug “krokodil” I’m just about headed straight to nightmare city tonight.

WORKAHOLICS INTERVIEW

AV Club: Was there anything you definitely didn’t want to do on the show?

Anders Holm: I didn’t want to reference Star Wars. Whenever I watch a show and twentysomethings have a lot of Star Wars references, I know it’s written by a 40-year-old dude. Like, a shitload of kids at his house. I don’t know, it seems fake. 

Blake Anderson: It’s Avatar, biatch!

Adam DeVine: Yep, Avatar all day.

Anders Holm: We’re Avatar, it’s going to be a lot of Avatar-heavy references. No, we have a lot of Lord Of The Rings references. I don’t know, it just seems like Star Wars always seems dated when I see, like, twentysomethings talking about it like it was the best thing that ever happened to them.

————————————

Thank god people are starting to get that inanely dropping Star Wars references is getting real fucking old, (looking at you here, Kevin Smith).
