Here’s a review of Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi I wrote for Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities back around the time the movie was released. It’s extremely sarcastic (if you couldn’t tell), and addresses a number of issues I had with the film at the time–and still do to this day. Considering thisContinue reading “In Response to the Hubbub (Bub) Surrounding “Star Wars: The Last Jedi””

Ice Climbers Do Whatever: Mikenificent’s Sprite Comic Opus
In my time as a sprite comic artist, I only really did five stories of various lengths. Last time, you saw my shortest efforts. This one was my longest effort, a joint effort between me and a former friend that included a number of upgrades in writing, art, and formatting. Lessons learned were put toContinue reading “Ice Climbers Do Whatever: Mikenificent’s Sprite Comic Opus”
Mikenificent’s Self-Indulgent Sprite Comic Shorts
It’s time once again to a foray into my initial online comic offerings. While it could be argued that all of my webcomics have been self-indulgent, these two in particular stick out. The first because it never really needed to exist, and the second because I began introducing original characters that weren’t simply sprites. ThisContinue reading “Mikenificent’s Self-Indulgent Sprite Comic Shorts”
Offensive Stereotypes? In my classic games?! It’s more likely than you think!
The story that starts this second Throwback Thursday Examiner.com article is 100% true. At the time, I thought the guy was insane for placing Italians above…well, above every other “minority” currently competing in the Oppression Olympics. Little has changed over the last ten years (fourteen or fifteen if I consider the time since I trulyContinue reading “Offensive Stereotypes? In my classic games?! It’s more likely than you think!”
Classic Gaming 101: Where can I buy classic games in Cleveland?
This first Throwback Thursday entry, another article written for Examiner.com, came about after I received an email (a form email sent to all writers, not a personalized email indicating that anyone on staff had any actual notion or knowledge of my work) mentioning that I might get more readers if I did something with aContinue reading “Classic Gaming 101: Where can I buy classic games in Cleveland?”
Brighton Rock (1947)
Today’s Throwback Thursday post is another short review from Crane’s Crabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities, this time about an English gangster film called Brighton Rock. I really have nothing new to add to my old review, mostly because I haven’t seen the movie since–which in and of itself can be a topic of conversation, as itContinue reading “Brighton Rock (1947)”
Carafe and the Rise of Perverto
In the early days of 2010, Brian Russell came to me with an idea: a comic in which we (as well as some other comic creators) could just kind of mess around! It sounded like a splendid idea, and so Carafe was born. At the time, I was still using my computer generated art soContinue reading “Carafe and the Rise of Perverto”
H-Day 2008: The Complete Experience
Eleven years ago, the founders of this site had another one called the Meekrat Entertainment Group. The name was born of a misunderstanding of the animal’s name and this set the tone for what followed and served as a precursor to what would eventually become the Fictosphere. In 2008, Mikenificent (which is to say me)Continue reading “H-Day 2008: The Complete Experience”
Madhouse (1974)
I’ve had the pleasure of watching this film a few times since first writing this post–as originally featured at Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities–and I tend to like it more and more each time. But, I’ll let the review itself speak to why that is, and follow with a couple of additional comments after that.Continue reading “Madhouse (1974)”
The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll aka House of Fright aka Jekyll’s Inferno (1961)
So, I don’t really have too much to add to what I’ve already said about this film (as originally posted at Crane’s Cabinet of Kinetographic Curiosities), save only that this film is oddly relevant in 2019. This is especially true in light of internet meme culture, which promotes/illustrates ideas, archetypes, and descriptors such as “incel,”Continue reading “The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll aka House of Fright aka Jekyll’s Inferno (1961)”
