Flash Fiction: Iguana Man

Tory — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:00:51 +0000

I write stuff. Sometimes it’s too weird to live anywhere but here. Here is one. Every customer at Platinum made promises: “I’ll show you the world.” “I’ll treat you right.” Lena of the long legs, lavender scent and vertiginous pole tricks had heard them all. So when the man with the silver suit and staring… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Iguana Man

Kleenex for Valentine’s Day?

Tory — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:01:43 +0000

This ad showed up in my sidebar. (Emphasis mine.) 1) Let’s not pretend Valentine’s Day is a “list” holiday. There is only one “list” holiday, and it ain’t in February. 2) If it were a “list” holiday, I’m not sure how a custom-printed box of facial tissues is going to fit the bill, unless you’re… Continue reading Kleenex for Valentine’s Day?

5 Nitpicks With Black Swan

Tory — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:55:38 +0000

I have seen Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, and I have findings. MASSIVE SPOILERS about a movie that’s really best not to know anything about going in. If there were ten Natalie Portmans then maybe they could have saved the prequels It’s gorgeous. It’s gripping. The acting is perfect. Natalie Portman runs the universe. The world… Continue reading 5 Nitpicks With Black Swan

Raw Deal (the movie)

Tory — Mon, 20 Sep 2004 03:00:00 +0000

While typing up a treatise on Pumping Iron, I discovered “Day of the Schwarzenegger” on the USA network. Terminator 2 was on, and it was up to where Linda Hamilton’s attacking Dr. Dyson. Cool, let’s watch. Some notent notables: Edward Furlong’s wearing a Public Enemy T-shirt. Who needs cyborgs from the future to off this… Continue reading Raw Deal (the movie)
