If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t

Let’s be honest. Just about anyone with any common sense could’ve told you over 10 years ago a lot of the social media posts and chatter was from bots. When South Park did an entire episode over sponsored content, it wasn’t the best, but it was a warning sign.   The newspaper company I worked for had started doing this around 2013. The concept they proposed was people paying us to write stories about them. ButContinue reading “If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t”

‘Frankenstein’ Is One Of The Year’s Best

There have been multiple adaptations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus. Rarely has a filmmaker ever made an accurate translation from book to screen. Not every written work can have all its material translated into a movie or limited series, which are popular now.   Even Thomas Edison produced an adaptation which was just about 13 minutes in duration and originally thought to beContinue reading “‘Frankenstein’ Is One Of The Year’s Best”
