    Mississippi

    Don't count me out! Yet another person from Tupelo. I live in the heart of Tupelo, downtown...Jefferson Street. Won't be here too much longer, but for now I'm in Tupelo and have been for the last 16 years. My wife and I are moving to Savannah, Georgia in a couple of months.

    anyone collect movie memorabilia

    I collect authentic celebrity autographs. Usually only stars of 70's or 80's sitcoms. I have an Ann B. Davis autograph and an Alan Thicke autograph so far. I'm proud of them.

    Has anyone considered writing a tract?

    I doubt you would like any tracts I would write. I never have liked tracts very much.

    I'd like to post a story

    What I say might be sometimes tough to hear, but it will defiantely help you. Remember not to take critiques personally. If you're curious what types of things I might say, check this out. That will give you a little idea. I usually work by the fact that honesty is better than flattery...

    Worldbuilding

    Yeah, it would be modern. I don't think I've ever read one either.

    America's new export Boom: Jobs.

    Nothing new here, friend. Of course, that article didn't really cover whether Mr. Welch really enjoyed his job, or if he just enjoyed the money. If it's all about the money, who can blame anyone for shipping a job or a factory across a sea to save a couple of bucks?

    Short story

    I hope you don't mind me giving a little critique. This story needs some work. You need to flesh out your characters more, bringing out Yunmi and your 1st person narrator more. Don't tell us what's happening, show us. Instead of simply saying: "I was met by a chorus of greetings as I...

    Worldbuilding

    I haven't done much "worldbuilding" as far as fiction is concerned (the worlds of my fiction are usually America, in whatever permutation needed) but a while back I started drawing out an island, designing the cities, and building a history. It's mostly just an art project right now, but it may...

    Film Genres

    It's all over the place, man. Basically every genre has its films which are just like all the rest and those few that somehow rise above it into something new and original. But, I'd say it has been a long time since I've seen a good action movie (except for Kill Bill). Many of the action...

    What's in your DVD player right now?

    What's in my DVD Player? Catch-22 (1970) - Mike Nichols ....with commentary by Mike Nichols and Steven Soderbergh Great movie. I suggest some people check it out, sometime. Especially if you like the book or if you're a fan of satire (especially political and/or wartime satire).

    Tips on writing creatively...

    I assume writing a fantasy story is like writing any other kind of story (except, of course, being freed from certain aspects like 'believability' and whatnot) in that create interesting characters and make the action flow out from those characters. You can read books on writing (and that might...

    Movie Soundtracks

    I love John Williams. I feel each of the original three Star Wars get better. Return of the Jedi built on Empire Strikes Back which built on Star Wars: A New Hope. I also love the Indiana Jones scores. It's really hard to pick a favorite score of those three, but one theme I love is the...

    Summer Reading Lists

    I'm putting some major books (not just major in size, but in content) on my summer list because I'll have more time to read them. I like making lists and so I'm glad to participate in my own thread! I'm just going to list the main books I'd like to have read by the end of the summer. This...

    Summer Reading Lists

    Summer is on the way. It is the end of the semester, time for students to have time to do those things they wish they had the time to do during the school year. But, it's also time for summer vacations, taking breaks and all that good stuff. Summer is the time to make good those promises you...

    What Gives Jews The Right To Tell Mel Gibson What Should Be In A CHRISTIAN Movie?

    What gives anyone the right to tell Mel Gibson what should be in his movie? Nothing (unless money is possibly involved as with the producers/studio).
