The Cure for Jealousy

Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 12, 2023


Hey, you!

I've rarely been jealous of anyone. Certainly moreso when I was younger. Other people would sometimes (well, often) seem to have more going on in some area of life. There were plenty of folks who I'd look at and imagine having their intelligence. Or their confidence ...

Seriously?

Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 11, 2022



When a dramatic actor gets a chance to perform a comedic role, I hear that sometimes they get excited to do something different but their first instinct is to play up the comedy. In an interview with a comedy writer/producer recently, he explained that these actors need the insight ...

Character Motivation

One thing I appreciate in well written stories is the hidden motivations of characters. Well written characters, just like real people, have contradictions to them. Desires and needs that are sometimes in conflict with each other.

Story structure tells us that a character has to WANT something. The ...

Michael J. Fox mentioned the great presence that Justine Bateman brought ...

Franchise Follies

Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 19, 2021



It's a strange thing in recent years that following the behind-the-scenes craziness and
mixed-disastrous results of modern franchises is far more interesting and entertaining than anything in the movies and shows themselves.
