About Jonathan
Just moved to the big bad city of Los Angeles and am going to try my hand at being awesome. In the meantime, I'll write screenplays, specs, novels and work on my webcomic that I've been trudging through for a bajillion years. There's a slight chance I listen to way awesome music and that you don't. I'm also a contrarian and I get strong urges to hate on things a majority of people love. Still with me? Good.

On Centurion
Posted on September 1, 2010 | View CommentsI’m not a big fan of Sword and Sandal epics. That’s not to say I hate them; they just don’t register on my radar. Too many plots for the runtime and no real character development to speak of. It’s all a bunch of costumes and... -
On A New City, and Stuff
Posted on August 30, 2010 | View CommentsI suppose I should make some kind of post about life as I know it right now. Decided that I was done with Chicago and moved my ass all the way over to the west coast to live out a life of fame and fortune.... -
On Gods and Nolan
Posted on July 26, 2010 | View CommentsI decided to push on despite the general writer’s malaise I’ve been feeling to ramble a little bit about Christopher Nolan’s film Inception. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I want to talk about some of the hype about this director that’s been getting under my... -
On Life So Far
Posted on July 19, 2010 | View CommentsA lot has been going on in Jonathan-land since the last update. Instead of getting all prose heavy on you with how my life has been, I’ll just do a simple bullet point list of recent developments. You can thank me later. Moving to Los... -
C2E2: Day 3
Posted on April 25, 2010 | View CommentsThe final day for C2E2 arrived quickly and I leapt from my bed with excitement. I was going to try once more to get Jeff Smith’s autograph and make up for some of the fail of the previous day. I threw on two completely different... -
C2E2: Day 2
Posted on April 21, 2010 | View CommentsI woke up the next day, back in my apartment with a wicked hangover. Whatever happened during the Time Lord Orgy would forever be lost to the ether of drunken stupor. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and picked up my phone to... -
C2E2: Day 1
Posted on April 18, 2010 | View CommentsI arrived at McCormick place from the #3 King Drive bus line. Emerging with me was a fellow in a Green Lantern tee and a guy who reminded me of a once co-worker. All around us there were signs for a kitchen and bath expo... -
A New Torchwood? We’ll See
Posted on March 21, 2010 | View CommentsI keep hearing these rumblings that Fox wants to have their own Torchwood, set in the US with aliens and weird fringe science type stuff. The first thing to note is that it seems like Fox forgot about its OTHER show, Fringe (you know, the... -
On Being Bigger Than Kiss
Posted on January 20, 2010 | View CommentsI like Teenage Bottlerocket, and they just wowed me with their newest music video, which is animated by the guy who did a favorite animated short of mine awhile back. Anyway, here it is for you to enjoy! Teenage Bottlerocket “Bigger Than Kiss” Teenage Bottlerocket... -
On Tim Burton’s Alice
Posted on January 5, 2010 | View CommentsI love the Alice in Wonderland story. In fact, I read the book a few times in high school, watched the old movie, played the hell out of American McGee’s Alice and often thought about how I’d take a stab at the story if I...
