Great ‘Star Wars’ Post

Barring the first paragraph, for obvious reasons – the rest of ‘The Star Wars Saga: Suggested Viewing Order’ over at ANMJ is perfect; especially for us 40-somethings that related more to Luke as the central character, and not Lucas’ mid-life crisis redux that tries to push Anakin Skywalker on us as the character we’re supposed to be ‘getting into’.  >_>

Honestly, if Lucas tried selling the plot to Episode I to any studio at that time, we would not have a Star Wars today.  Personally, I’m not a fan of Lucas, period.  I love the shows and books that have spawned from Star Wars–but as far as he’s concerned– he’s the perfect example of “story by is not an indicator of why this film works“.  We have Larry Kasdan to thank for the most part (and Leigh Brackett for ‘Strikes Back’).

I understand though, I do.  No writer wants to be told that their characters and plots are great, so long as good writers handle them– but Lucas is a director, and his ego shouldn’t be that fragile.

 

PSA: I wasn’t raped by Chuck Phelps, and I don’t write Cookbooks

–on that note, there is no book printed called Imaginary Twisters–and I sure as shit didn’t write it.  0_ Also– that trailer park mystery garbage that keeps up coming under my name at BN.com… NOT ME.

I’m not the singer with bleach blond hair and wearing sequins on those photos that keep coming up in google-images.  I’m not the talented illustrator whose work appears when my name is entered into yahoo or bing.

The Tina Anderson entry on wikipedia is me…I’ve written male homoerotic manga for women and gay comics for men, and now I write feminist action fiction.

The rest of the Tina Anderson’s out there… are not me.

MOVING AHEAD:

• Do not post in forums that I stopped writing yaoi and started writing cookbooks
• Do not comment at my blog how sorry you are I was raped
• Do not troll my blog accusing me of moral hypocrisy because I like porn, and have accused someone of rape.
• Do not email asking where you can buy Imaginary Twisters
• Do NOT meet me in person and say I don’t look anything like the photo on google–ON THAT NOTE, do accuse me of posting a fake photo because I’m not blond thin and old.
• PLEASE do not include cookbooks by Tina Anderson, with manga by Tina Anderson in your catalogs.  It makes you look stupid, and I don’t think Ms. Anderson appreciates the association.
• Stop emailing me about why the covers of the Tina Anderson trailer park mysteries look so bad.

Thank you.

 

Saw the Woman in Black

Been catching up on Season Six of Supernatural (thanks to Netflix) because I was woefully missing during the broadcast season, and sadly—this was first season (along with the current one) that I can’t bring myself to spend $40 on a DVD set.  :/  Though I must admit… Sam the Soulless Whore was incredible.  0_0  I’ve never been into the Moose, but wow, he was very sexy this season–and French Mistake was brilliant.

I got to see the Woman in Black.  It has all the things I love about gothic horror—that house… oh that house.  Location location location!  When can I move in?  The only downside to the film was sharing the theater with the Potter-heads who decided to show up and act like dildos.  Also, the theater was playing Star Wars 3D whatever…so loud that it could be heard in our theater—and In Black was a very quiet film.   Personally, I always adored Hammer horror because of its cheesecake…Hammer horror had more cleavage than an average Sunday at the Playboy mansion.  Would one bathtub/shower scene with Mr. Radcliff been too much to ask for? (Yes, male buttock cleavage is just as hot)

I don’t want to spoil the ending for everyone, but one good deed did deserve another, and I thought the Woman repaid the kindness shown to her, very well.

Will be watching Walking Dead tonight, and praying that Shane gets done in one way or another—even if AMC might be squeamish about how Shane bought it in the comics, I’d still like them to stay as true to the story as possible.

Not one ounce of writing done at all this weekend.  Shit.
