How do you say no to that? http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=565 So, made it out to Celebration V, but didn’t win a bloody thing at the fanfilm awards. It’s hard not to be biased, and to avoid letting poopy pants cloud your opinions. Maybe, take a look here at who won what and tell me what you think. I thought ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=553   "This masterpiece is only mine Entirely guilty by design." -Marianas Trench, Masterpiece Theatre I   I grew up on Star Wars. Only my Grandpa has had more influence on my creative upbringing than George Lucas has (and all his stories were based on Flash Gordon too). Star Wars is a part of me.  There’s just no ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=545   If you haven’t been paying attention (and shame on you if you haven’t, there could be a quiz at the end of all this), we got our Star Wars fanfilm done.  After viewing the Star Wars Challenge entry, you can view the conclusion of Myth & Legends HERE.   http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=540 Alright, I did this for the Dr.Horrible Evil League of Evil Contest and was WAY off.  Let's see how I do here.

I really am. They always seem like they’re having so much fun.  Ever since high school, I’ve been envious of their damn exclusive cast parties that always sound like the very best time in the ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=515   So many links and parenthesises… It’s madness. First off, if you haven’t seen Inception yet, quit reading this nonsense and go do so. I’ll wait. Now, this is gonna sound a little silly (and when I say “silly” I actually mean “hypocritical”), but I’m not that crazy about fan films. I know the ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=509 ...if I may so bold as to quote the title of Graham Roumieu's poignant and soul achingly profound book about Bigfoot. Close call though. So, I've been out of touch with the interwebs for over a year now. It was a time of moving and renovations and family stuff and frame by ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=507 And I was worried about somebody coming up with something like "The Magellan Affair" AFTER we started to get it out there... So, I'm sitting at my cushy government job surfing for any mention of "The Magellan Affair" like a needy puppy and come across this. I've kept myself from looking ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=500 Holy crap, that was fun! Now, I've been an over the top Trek fan since The Next Generation: Season Three. I even submitted some scripts way back when (an anger inducing and embarrassing story for another time). I lived and breathed that world.  I understood the technobabble. I choked a little ... http://emeraldcityst.com/blog/?p=493
