STORM AND STEEL is Born!
June 3rd, 2015A Letter to J.J. Abrams
April 20th, 2015Dear Mr. Abrams,
You’ve released a kickass trailer for the new Star Wars movie you’re making. Now please let suggest this: hire me as your bull$@@@ detector. I could have saved Mr. Lucas a lot of headaches and fan fury. Sir, for all our benefit, let me help you to not ruin the goodwill you have produced so far.
I guarantee there are scenes in the new movie that need a second look, and I’m the one for the job. I’ll give you the straight poop. Tempted to add an Ewok or a Gungun …to the story? I’ll nip it in the bud. Tempted to use lines of dialogue stolen straight from the original trilogy? I’ll steer you away. Tempted to make a whinny 9-year-old the central character and then try to convince your audience that a romance between a teenage queen and the aforementioned whinny 9-year-old is realistic? I will politely slap you back to sanity. Let’s make this movie worth the wait, together.
I shall await your inevitable acceptance of this offer.
Sincerely,
Jon Sprunk
Leonard Nimoy Has Passed
February 27th, 2015Mr. Nimoy died today at the age of 83. His portrayal of Mr. Spock on Star Trek is a precious memory of my childhood. Today, it feels like a member of my personal family has passed.
Leonard, farewell. You are missed.
