I very much liked this profile of Tom Wolfe by Michael Lewis. So many great lines. Remember reading?
I smiled quietly to myself when I read this bit about an abortion-themed play. Alphonse is kid’s stuff.
Work on Bat Out of Hell proceeds bit by tiny bit. I managed to get all my voice actors into the studio to record; now we’re picking takes and stitching things together. All that remains is sound effects, music, backgrounds, character image selection, and oh yes, animation. Sigh.
Here’s to better blogging (and a proper Summit) in 2016.
Great article, harkens back to the old writing days of magazines and newspapers. I didnt’ know half that stuff about Wolfe. Didn’t know he had a PHD. Thanks, Broderick. Link us to your Force Awakens review.

I say the same thing as a lot of other critics. It’s a rejiggering of Episode IV: A New Hope. The difference is that it became painful for me, where others enjoyed it or at least did not mind.
That was a terrific review. Six suckers in the Bully family. Thanks.

I submit that we ought to be Summitting in late May, in Dallas, in conjunction with this:

Were’d you see this? I’m intrigued, especially since I live in the Dallas area.
It’s on the parish’s website. I’m afraid I pointed it out to the group in a shameless act of self aggrandizement.
Finally getting around to this… not finished, but engaged, a sip at a time.
I will tell you someday about the dream I had of being in Tom Wolfe’s apartment – and i never saw his apartment before, but that shot of him by the typewriter (why can’t those pictures just go on and on and on and…?) took my breath away: it was EXACTLY like in my dream.
Sorry to go on like that. Back to reading –
hear hear!
