You’re free to go ahead and believe that the NHL draft lottery is rigged, not because it is because it most definitely is not. You’re free to go ahead and believe it’s rigged because the NHL, as usual, is closing ranks and refusing to explain an honest mistake, one that seems unique to this league and actually makes it look as though it has something to hide. Nothing unusual about that.
My last days in New York were lazily spent: people-watching at my favorite neighborhood cafe, taking long walks during golden hour, reading and writing and talking for hours with friends.
Leaving was bittersweet, but coming home was perfect. I always love the feeling of coming home after a long time away. While travel invites us to romanticize life elsewhere, returning to your own life feels like slipping on your favorite pair of pajamas.
Back in the 1970s and early 1980s, there was a brief golden period for fantasy filmmaking. It arrived just I was coming of age, playing Dungeons & Dragons and delving into movies, novels and comic books.
It was a great time to be a kid with an imagination bent toward orcs and magic chainmail armor.

Imagine, if you will, a book in which Brad Pitt reveals his iron-clad technique for getting dates:
Go to a place where women are
Smile
Think of all of the stories he’d have of getting dates with women with this technique, each one bolstering the validity of his argument. He’d include research on the importance of proximity, and insights like different kinds of women are found in various places, like a church, calligraphy class, or UFC match.
Drawing a Wine Bottle and a Wine Glass

Objects can be seen from infinitely many angles. This also means we can draw them from infinitely many angles. Because we tend to see industrial glass objects in a primarily vertical position, does this mean we should only draw them in vertical poses? If we wish to understand an object’s structure, we can not just keep drawing it from one angle. Different atmospheres and prettier angles are possible with drawing from different perspectives.
It could have been a contender if it had an actual point.
Dozens of movies come and go, pulling that same reaction. Inventive plots with a big name pilot pushing the trippy ideas through the paces until the concept hits a brick wall of “what’s next?” that it can’t get around. Thats what happens with Dream Scenario, the first film from writer/director Kristoffer Borgli, a concept that spins its top for around 75 minutes before losing its frame of mind.

The two of us would curl up together on my futon couch, drinking Two Buck Chuck, eating Orville Reddenbacher microwave popcorn, and gazing at my 19” Mitsubishi SD television screen. We were transfixed with each other, but even more so by the mysterious and dramatic storylines that creators Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse came up with for the myriad characters in Lost.
