Gunn Control

Gunn Control

Leftists took vicious delight in ruining anyone who failed to celebrate their transformation of the West into NYC's 42nd St. circa 1974. And they could libel, deplatform, and disemploy with impunity while the controlled opposition of Conservative Inc. played the Washington Generals to the Left's Harlem Globetrotters. But now that…

Ophian Rising Casting Call

Ophian Rising Casting Call

Now that the startling conclusion to the Soul Cycle has been out for a while--and none of you have an excuse for not having finished reading it yet--it's high time I followed up on the fantasy cast lists I compiled for Nethereal, Souldancer, and The Secret Kings with a casting call…

Very Different Personages

Very Different Personages

From time to time I still run into aspiring authors who dream of signing a Big Book Deal™ with a New York publishing house.

The Gundam that Wasn’t

The Gundam that Wasn’t

I've made no secret of my desire to make #AGundamForUS, but longtime reader Lee recently called my attention to a little-known failed Hollywood production that almost brought us a live-action Gundam movie in 1983.

With the Cunning of Satan

Purple prose polemicist Razörfist shoots down the commie fabrication of "Tail Gunner Joe" as an  inquisitorial bully who led a political witch hunt against innocent Americans.

Why China Hates Star Wars

Why China Hates Star Wars

The numbers are in, and Disney's Solo: A Star Wars Story has spectacularly let down Kathleen Kennedy and her media cheerleaders, particularly blue checkmark Twitter. The Disney shills' excuse-making has been markedly anemic this time around. Everybody knew after The Last Jedi fell off a cliff that audiences were fed up with…
