Dragonsworn
Dragonsworn audiobook with midjourney art
This is a youtube audiobook I made about one of my fantasy stories. Its about a hero and a heroine who rise up to battle five warring kings, who all derive their power from the fearsome dragons they ride. Its nothing like Eragon, nor is it like House of the Dragon, its very much a tale of good vs evil.
Martin Scorsese and the Rise and Fall of Superheroes
This is an analysis I wrote addressing Scorceses criticisms of superhero movies, and dissecting various blockbuster movies to ascertain whether he was right.
Awesome Cinematics
Old Republic:Â The Return
I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and wish they'd make movies based on the Old Republic games, there's so much rich lore to mine for story gold. If I ever get movies made based on my stories then I'll insist that they study these cinematics and strive for a similar level of quality with the action.
Old Republic: The Deceived
This video blew my mind when it first came out, its truly fantastic. Darth Maegius is a supreme badass and just lays waste to the jedi. He hearkens back to the days of Darth Vader for being imposing and sinister. They've got to make a movie based on him eventually, he's too cool for school.
Awesome Videos
Ryu vs Sagat
The Street Fighter animated movie is an indisputable masterpiece. The director uses great camera angles and editing to create adrenaline pumping action, and it is blended perfectly with the fantastic symphonic metal score. It escalates until Ryu delivers his dragonpunch uppercut and devastates Sagat, and crowns the battle with his knockout hadouken strike.
Ryu and Ken vs M.Bison
M.Bison was such an utter badass that neither fighter could beat him alone. His utter contempt for his foes is palpable, until they show him the folly of his arrogance. In the end a twin hadouken strike from both warriors defeats Bison's invincible psycho power.
