...AND THEN THESE MFs SHOWED UP....

...and everything went to hell.

To be fair, this blog has been in the works for at least five years. With all the chatter and cross-chatter and unbearable horseshit occurring in the world of genre film, how could we not add a bit of our own? One thing we can guarantee you we won't be adding, however, is hatefulness just for its own hipster-infested sake. That's not what we're about.

Sure, there will be hostile reviews from time-to-time but they won't be presented in some insular, basement-dwelling fashion for no other reason than to troll web pages and sites that have the nerve to provide a discussion format. So, this is probably a good place to introduce ourselves, first individuals and then as a duo:

Christopher Nadeau is a published author of two novels and over three dozen short stories as well as many articles on subjects ranging from museums to politics to film news and reviews and even local events. He has been a comic book fan all of his life and saw the original "Star Wars" during its original release when he was young enough to be brainwashed for life. His writing was once compared to Ray Bradybury's by English horror author Ramsey Campbell and he has studied science fiction writing with Professor James Gunn and Frederik Pohl. He is also highly critical of himself, which means he's just as critical of hacks and filmmakers, writers and artists who take the easy way out. To know him is to love him but since you won't ever really know him, you'll probably hate him. He's fine with that as long as you don't try to get him to watch the second and third "Matrix" movies.

T.E. Johnson is a lifelong comics fan as well as a union man who has embarrassed many a corporate weasel in his time. He understands that it's okay to like two competing franchises, sometimes equally, and has little patience for trolling fanboys/girls who want to start keyboard wars over ridiculous nonsense. His background in Labor Relations has afforded him a unique perspective on the human mind and how group-think influences people. He uses this knowledge to try and make people who aren't used to using logic think logically. He lives in America so his efforts have borne little fruit. Now he's here, on a blog with his childhood friend with whom he has discussed the types of movies they will be reviewing for longer than either of them would care to admit.

Now that you know us intimately, we're ready to get this bad boy rolling. Check back in the next day or more for our first film review. We chose to start with "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse" because it's animated, it's playing now, and the title is dumb enough to necessitate a great movie. Or is it?
