There are usually problems with movies that cite specifically what piece of classic literature they have based their movie on…take for instance the trailer below for Age of Dragons (formerly Dragon Fire).
Right in the damn trailer they say something along the lines of “Herman Melville’s Moby Dick told like never before”, I wouldn’t doubt that…considering that Queequeg and Ahab are in the same body…and there’s a chance of tits. Things that I never remember from the fabulous novel by Mr. Melville.
Say what you will, and I know that I’m just piling on with this posts, but all kidding aside…I’m actually looking forward to this movie, and I’ll give you 2 reasons. First, Vinnie Jones makes any movie better. Second, it’s being directed by Ryan Little, who also made Saints and Soldiers (a pretty decent World War 2 movie).
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
