…it’s More like a Nightmare!: Keith Helinski: Amazon.com: Kindle Store
I currently am a drudge at a local grocery store, slaving away for survival. I do a lot of…
The visual work of Storm Thorgerson, from Hipgnosis through to StormStudios. See latest news, recent work and a substantial archive covering work for rock bands Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, 10cc, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Muse, The Cranberies, and Biffy Clyro and many more.
You’ve done art-work to some of the best albums of all time (and some of my all-time favorites). You will be missed. :’(
“If we want to do something more than post, than we must help. We must proclaim love and peace through our actions. The rising generation will not embrace a kinder, gentler world because they tire of viewing so much gore and violence, as much as they are really shown by us how much greater a world filled with love and understanding is.”
Updated with two new pieces, the Evil Dead review and a little piece I wrote about Ebert.
Ebert’s website looks good. 8-)
I will be seeing this soon.
Not a big fan of the original (sorry, I know it’s a classic - but I have seen it many times!) But I do like Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness.
Posted April 2nd, the very last thing he writes…
“So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.”
I’ve written A LOT of pieces for MovieFreak over the years. I’ve also written a lot of pieces about Jurassic Park. I can probably write an entire book about how much I am obsessed with the movie.
However, I think this Blu Ray review (which ultimately ended up being my last review for MovieFreak) is my best piece. Certainly one of my favorites.
This started as a small piece for the MovieFreak project, but then I took it and expanded it to the Blu Ray review that got published on MovieFreak. 8-)
I would give anything to go back to the summer of ‘93 and experience Jurassic Park for the first time, again…
I think I can speak for every former Disney Cast Member, it’s hard to put into words what it was like working for a place like Disney. With its pros (and cons) aside, the atmosphere and day-to-day experiences can’t measure up to any description. I haven’t read a blog/book yet that has been able to masterfully explain to a person that has never worked for Mickey, what it was like to slave for Mickey! :p
Still, I admire good attempts, like this blog that describes (from a guy’s perceptive) what the Disney Program entails. I wouldn’t expect this advertised on Disney’s official College Program Website/Facebook. But the reality Disney tends to ignore, THIS blog is pretty much what goes on.
It would be bad PR, but I would love to see a TV series tackle the College Program experience. Would even make great prime-time teen-drama on ABC. The movie ‘Adventureland’ comes to mind.
On this day 1990, ‘Cinema Paradiso’ was released in American theaters, after it was released in theaters two years prior in Europe. Though it isn’t a BIG movie, it gets a lot of love from us movie-buffs over the years. It even inspired the director/studio to release an extended cut of the film on DVD ten years ago.
I first experienced ‘Cinema Paradiso’ in my Film is Art class during my college days 9 years ago. I didn’t enjoy it at first, but then I saw it again a couple of years later and fell in love!
Wrote this short story two years ago for my MovieFreak EBook.
Anyway and anyhow, as doom-and-gloom as reality seems to be these days, please don’t give up on your dream. Don’t give up what inspires you, what motivates you, and what you want in life. I am far from the inspirational-type, so don’t think I am going to get all Rhonda Byrne on you! But I’ve seen so many people the last few years, give up. It was in that instance that got me inspired to write these stories.
Alright. I said my peace. What’s yours?

I can’t speak for all writers, because it seems you will get a different answer one way or another (or perhaps, the same answer, written differently). But for me, there is something beautiful/terrifying/sexy/inspiring about writing. If I can reach out to at least one reader, I feel like I made a real difference in this world; more of a difference than the nonsense I do at my day-job. But I would still be doing this, even if I don’t reach an audience, let alone a single reader.
I love this job! I love writing. I love jumping around from story to story. I love pushing myself and experimenting to see where I can take my writing (and imagination). I love the freedom of writing, and the ability to write whatever I want. I love learning how to perfect my craft, and improving from my last project. And I love reader’s reactions (positive or negative). I love the whole package deal!
Every single author/writer says that there is magic in writing. And truth be told, many artistes that proclaims themselves as one feels that same magic anytime they create. It’s like being on cloud nine: no one can touch you. Sure, the daggers are set at the heart once the creation is out there. But no one can touch you at the very moment you are in that mindset of piecing letters and words together to create a story. It’s an escape, an escape from the harsh reality of this gloom-and-doom world, even if you are writing a gloom-and-doom story. It’s also a lonely job, which is what I enjoy the most out of it. I am not bothered. My only regret is not having enough time to do this job.
