Writing Blog Number 2

by s

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2311764

This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC

This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index"

The way you craft a poem is interesting to me. I struggle with meters and such. I will save the note! Thanks for explaining your process.

Are the fairies to be trusted? Will they take him to a better place? We they take the step-uncle to a "better" place? Will they fade back into the landscape/book/wallpaper like "Puff, the magic dragon". Will they become dragons?

Anyhoo... 50k done. At this rate 150k is possible.

I wish I could be this dedicated to multiple projects at once. My ADHD makes it almost impossible to focus on one idea. Kudos to you! I need to get more organized, for sure.

I've done a lunch theater play (30 minutes) and (bad) stand-up comedy once "An introduction"

[13+]. I love both genres but actually doing it is hard and out of my comfort zone. The most difficult on the surface? Writing choreography for performance arts, for example, dance. How on earth to combine story(elements) with moves? Interesting.

Are you familiar with the work of Anna Keersemaeker, A Belgian choreographer, her work is awesome? I wish I could write that.

Good read! You hit it with your story! I hope you will write the most awesome job application possible so they have to hire you! Good luck with that.

20240204 Marvel Movie Rant

Why Recent Marvel Films Don't Work

Okay, this is my two cents' worth...

The first run of Marvel films could be summarised in ten words or less - they had a definite theme.

Iron Man: Take responsibility
The Incredible Hulk: Do what you can for the ones you love
Iron Man 2: Earn your respect
Thor: Humility is important
Captain America:Duty is worthwhile
Avengers: Teamwork is better than individuals

Simplistic? Sure, but they were things the audience could latch onto and are so simple even if you couldn't put it into words, you understood what the film was getting at.

Later films did this as well... but not the recent ones.

Ant Man; Quantumania I think was something about family, but it was hard to work out.
The Marvels: No idea. There was nothing there.

And the recent TV series:
Echo: Being disabled is not a disadvantage? I think?
Secret Invasion: Not everything is as it seems. Maybe.

Compare that to Wandavision and its theme of grief can be overwhelming, and Loki and everything has a consequence, and even Hawkeye and family is important, even the family we choose.

So, yeah, that's why I think Marvel's films aren't as good. they've lost that simple message that was so easy to get behind.

Oh, yeah, and the CGI looks like dog-shit nowadays. And some of the acting... dear God!
