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.

A Most Ambitious Frenzy
Posted on March 28, 2010 | View CommentsLast year I failed Script Frenzy. I had a good idea, but I just didn’t have the commitment to the event that I needed to see the project through. From a writing perspective, I had gotten too mired in plot and “revise-as-you-go,” a screenwriter’s worst... -
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... -

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... -
On New Years Resolutions
Posted on January 2, 2010 | View CommentsLast year I wrote up a post about my new years resolutions. Out of the 20 I posted, I ended up completing only one. So this year I decided to re-think the resolution thing and come up with more attainable goals so I feel less... -
The Best Music Videos I Saw This Year
Posted on December 13, 2009 | View CommentsI was going to save this post until much later in the month, but then it dawned on me that I might forget to make a top-list post and then January will hit and it will be too late. And I don’t think it would... -
If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Remake It
Posted on December 6, 2009 | View CommentsI’ve got a rather novel idea that I’d like to share with the world, something which I think everyone can agree with on some basic level. Something, which when I say it you’ll say “amen” under your breath. Ready for it? We don’t *need* remakes.... -
On NaNoWriMo

Putting the Rant Pants On
Posted on October 26, 2009 | View CommentsIt’s been too long since I’ve updated this blog, internets, but I don’t really plan on apologizing for that today. Instead, I’m going to don the rant pants and do some serious bitching. Here’s the short version: Facebook is stupid, twitter isn’t worth squat, and...
