Odds and Ends : Memes, Firefly

First off, really enjoying the responses to my meme's. Particularly fresne and dherblay. May have to check out some of their suggestions. Also so nice to see someone else out there has a deep abiding love for the Disney animated version of Robin Hood. It was my favorite animated film as a child. Forget Kevin Costner or Erroll Flynn (who was much superior to Costner), that fox was adorable. Next to Kimba, he was my first crush...I even got the big picture book and slept next to it at night along with a nifty stack of other books I cannot remember the names of. Sketched the pictures also. Ahhh the memories.

After my last marketing class, I realized something - it's all in the packaging. What we choose to watch, buy, purchase, spend money or time on. When you wander through a book store...what makes you pick up a book you never heard of before? That's right cover art, how it's packaged. Same with TV shows, hot sauces, movies - it's how someone markets it.

This explains what went wrong with Firefly. It was marketed and packaged wrong. ( Read more... )

Another meme thingy...well not really.

What new tv shows have you watched/attempted this fall? What do you think of them so far? Would you recommend any of them? Which ones?

Vocabulary Meme and Marvel comics

For all you aspiring comic book writers out there? Guess what? Marvel Comics is hunting writers. I'm attempting to write something to submit to them, but not sure I can come up with anything. Serious writer's block going on and I've lost faith in my creative writing ability which doesn't help. Damn.
But figure will attempt something anyways - zip to lose.

Here's the link if you are interested in doing it yourself...
