Apparently Pete Hegseth has no idea that bombing random boats without proof they are drug runners constitutes a war crime.

I very much doubt that anyone in Trump's regime has anything above a third grade education.

Ultimate Thor is my favorite story out of the Marvel Ultimate line.

You ask why? It's got Thor fighting Nazi frost giants, no more need be said.

Three Outlaw Samurai is a great film about three samurai who are sent out with a large group of guards to round up some villagers who have kidnapped the evil lord's daughter in order to get him to listen to their plight.
The Samurai take pity on them and decide to fight, though it seems hopeless.

Trump is that racist/misogynist grandpa who after rambling at the dinner table you say: "Sure grandpa, now take your meds and stop scaring the children".

His enablers are the worst in this situation because they haven't taken his keys away.

After the Avenger Disassembled story ended, Thor went into hiatus for a few years, however when he reemerged it was with one of the strongest stories he'd had in quite a while, penned by the likes of J. Michael Straczynski and Kieron Gillen.

The Samurai Trilogy tells the life's story of Miyamoto Musashi through the course of three films.

It starts when he is a brash youth until when he is older, wiser, and far more skilled.

The Woman Who Knows feature film has a fiscal sponsorship with an organization!

Check out the proof of concept as we develop the feature film! A psychological thriller in the PoV of a chronically and mentally unwell woman thrown into a murder mystery.

#WritingCommunity There is nothing wrong with trying many different genres and realizing that there are some that just aren't for you.

When this AI/bitcoin bubble bursts, it won't be the big corporations who suffer (oh they'll lose money, but they'll recoup it just as quickly), no it will be the average working people who were duped into thinking this was the future and realized it was a ponzi scheme far too late.

Another of my favorite Thor runs is the one written by Dan Jurgens, which includes many artists like John Romita Jr, Stuart Immonen, Erik Larsen, and Andy Kubert.

Sanjuro is the sequel to Yojimbo and finds our titular hero helping out a band of young Samurai who are on the run from the ambitious viceroy of the local lord.
The viceroy intends to seize power and get rid of anyone who is loyal to the former lord.

A new day, a new Trump rant, this man couldn't hear a Pizza recipe without somehow making it about him.

The Superman Monster is a great elseworlds tale that combines the story of Frankenstein with the origins of Superman, and it's just as awesome as it sounds.

Yojimbo is a great film about a Ronin (wandering samurai) who comes across a village that is caught between the fighting of two rival Yakuza gangs.
The Ronin takes it upon himself to pit the two groups against each other and save the exploited villagers.

It is a tragedy that two national guard members had to pay the price for Trump's hubris, and now instead of properly mourning their deaths, he's using it as an opportunity to put boots in every major city now.

The Incal is another great comic book story which was illustrated by Moebius.
Once again his work is the pinnacle of great detailed sequential art, especially when he goes into those wide angle panels.

I highly recommend this one.

Rashomon is a great film that was innovative in its storytelling.

It tells the story of the murder of a man, and the assault of a woman from four different points of view, and it is up to us the audience to determine which story is more accurate.

Sometimes you have to make your own film with what you have as a writer.

I shot The Woman Who Knows like that. A psychological thriller in the lens of a chronically and mentally unwell disabled woman thrown into a murder mystery.
