People want more BAYSPLOSIONS
Transformers 2 was probably one of the worst reviewed movies of 2009, but it also made upwards of 0.8 billion dollars worldwide. Why? A friend of mine recently told me “The people have spoken. And the people want more BAYSPLOSIONS.”

Okay so I lied about the SDCC 2009 wrap-up “coming soon…” There wasn’t much to talk about in that trip anyways. In a few short sentences:
The hotel we stayed at was possibly housing celebrities. I had a few drinks and went looking for them one night to no avail. However, I did run into this guy. Which was cool.
Thomas Jane had another late night screening of one of his...

Soon, a nothing that was nowhere will become a place; a never that was nowhen will begin, with a flash so mighty that its echo will fill a sky. …There, after many eons, you will arise, in all your unknowable forms. Find each other. Love. Build. Be wary. Your universe in its bright age will be a bright puddle, compared to the empty, black ocean where we recede from each other, slowed to the...
