Rolling with the Punches

My new Storytellers Unplugged essay went online this morning for your reading pleasure.

That was my main writing endeavor for the weekend. I also wrote a couple of book reviews, read the first 80 pages of Doug Clegg’s The Abandoned, watched Battle for the Planet of the Apes and watched a few flame wars. Better than TV.

I’d forgotten how bad the non-ape actors were in Battle. The “city folk” were okay, because they were supposed to be mad, but the humans in Ape City were wretchedly stilted. The “chase scene” up the tree at the end was also pretty painful to watch. Not the best of the batch by far.
