    Nobody

    By Myr,


    Movies
    I have been very turned off by the lecturing nonsense that's been released from Hollywood the last few years.  The hack Millennial moron writers that have taken on scriptwriting and laid waste to subtlety and entertainment have virtually destroyed an entire industry and murdered my hobby of video collecting.  I have over 1300 DVD's and Blu-Rays.  But I've only bought 5 in 2021.  And 4 of those were 80's and 90's movies on 4K.  But I heard Nobody was both good entertainment and lacking any obvious karen nagging on some agenda or narrative or another.
    So, if you like a good action movie with an interesting little twist, then Nobody is a great movie.  It's entertaining with no obvious agenda.  Finally.  Now if those clowns could keep doing that, I might start buying movies again.  I'm not holding my breath.

    The Infographic Guide to Grammar

    By Myr,


    Writing
    When I posted yesterday about Write Right!, I mentioned that we would be doing a new weekly blog feature focused on Grammar.  Another book I'll be using for reference in that endeavor is the Infographic Guide to Grammar.  If you are a visual person, this book is the one for you.  It's colorful and straightforward.  It's worth keeping around if you are the type to keep reference material on hand.

    Write Right - For Grammar Reference

    By Myr,


    Writing
    It seems lately that I've been doing an endless round of blogs, emails, and posts.  When I haven't been doing that, I've been doing research.  As is my habit, I've gone way overboard on the amount of reference material and writing books I've been sinking into. (Including being a super backer on Kickstarter now, having supported my 80th Kickstarter. Almost all of them on something world building related)
    But that brings to one of the many writing books I've zipped through recently.  Write Right! A desktop Digest of Punctuation, Grammar and Style by Jan Venolia  (Linked to the amazon print version above via an affiliate link to Amazon that hasn't paid squat in years).  This is a great little book that condenses a lot of things into one handy book.  I intend on using it as one of my references and inspirations for weekly blog that we are planning on starting up in the new year.
    But if you are a writer and you are looking to improve your grammar, this is a good tool for that.
