February 7th, 2012 Daniel Fincke From his comedy album Werewolves and Lollipops, Patton Oswalt sums up many people’s disappointments with the premise of the Star Wars prequels: It’s weird that objectively I fully understand and usually agree with many of the criticisms of the prequels and yet still personally love them. Are they flawed? Absolutely. They could have been 15 [...]
I’m a Muppet of a Man, I’m a Very Manly Muppet

I even like to think of every sentence as a story. It stars a subject which verbs something. And in my childhood there were two stories that loomed [...]

January 1st, 2011 Daniel Fincke I am a Star Wars fan and one of the few passionate defenders of the prequels, each of which I wholeheartedly loved the first dozens of times I saw each one.
