Single-sentence review of Moonrise Kingdom

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

(Needless to say, this post might have some triggers in it for those who are concerned about such things, and I apologize to anybody for that. But I think this merits comment.) Game designer James Desborough recently wrote an article entitled “In Defence of Rape,” the gist of which is that using rape as a […]

Unbound

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

As an Alien prequel, it is serviceable. It is beautifully shot and composed – say what you will about Ridley Scott, but […]

To be a face

Posted by MGK Published in TV, Writering

I’ve been thinking about the traditional heel/face (bad guy/good guy) dichotomy in pro wrestling for some time now. It’s interesting because it tends to be rare that a truly popular face, one the crowds will cheer like mad, starts out a face and then remains a face until they are a megastar. There are a […]

Canadian politics can occasionally be interesting

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics

So the media are abuzz about new poll showing the NDP screeching ahead of the Tories in the hypothetical “if an election were held today” scenario, with the NDP in this fantasy scenario forming a minority federal government for the first time in the polling history of Canada. The NDP, polling-wise, now essentially own the […]
