“Leaving” would be a bit of a misnomer because the show is still called Groening’s, yet he’s no longer daily involved in The Simpsons as he was with the ever-maturing staff becoming a functional unit. He wants to make Disenchantment, which is now in production and under the very sweet genie-bottle of Netflix that affords him all the more freedom to create whatever he wants, unlike the set confines of a 30 year old TV series.
It's also true that after 34 years even Homer Simpson must be due a vacation. But behind Disenchantment, as with The Simpsons, Groening is the main man and ‘godfather’ of the series – just not the hands-on day-to-day manager. Good call, Matt.

K.M. Moronova wrote this story. It has a lot of cosmic horror in it, but it’s a gothic horror story. Thus, there’s a lot of personal, emotional horror in it as well. The house in this story operates according to rules that are unknown to man and in which man’s suffering means nothing. Thus, the “flame” is not evil. It simply is. And man, by nature, is a moth. He is drawn to the flame. This type of bleak, Existential horror is present throughout the story. Author Moronova is heavily influenced by the works of Thomas Ligotti. Thus, this story explores a rather bleak and unpleasant view of the universe – a universe which is meaningless and even hostile to man. Moronova’s inspiration for this story was to combine typical, emotional, personal horror found in your average gothic horror with the impersonal,often even more horrific, cosmic horror found in weird fiction. This was a very chilling combination.

When was Matt ‘ready’ to be seen, not by Karen as a hero, but as a broken man? The ‘when’ of discovery isn’t just about Karen’s detective work, it’s also about Matt’s cry for help, and his need for someone to see him when he was doing his best to push everyone away. Of course, this doesn’t excuse Matt’s behavior, but rather seeks to add another layer to the timing of Karen’s discovery of his secrets.

What I was trying to say is that “My Immortal” is based on Amy Lee’s experience as a sad, creative teenager. (Millions of people can identify with that.) And if you want to know the rest of the story, the song is a work of fiction built on top of those feelings. The immortal figure in the song is fictional, too.
The immortal that the song "My Immortal" refers to is fiction. The song goes on a journey through the emotional underworld of this immortal. The wonder and magic of the song is in its ability to accurately portray this emotional underworld, and not in the song literally depicting the fictional immortal and its surroundings in photoreal detail. Similar to how one cannot find the real rabbit that Alice followed down the hole, one cannot find the real immortal that the song "My Immortal" refers to.

27! It's funny, 27 feels so young and yet so old all at once. I re-watched Good Will Hunting recently and the movie still holds up so well. Matt Damon has such a boyish quality about him and I think in particular his scenes as a janitor are so endearing. I think his age contrasted so nicely with Robin Williams' world-weary character and really I don't think the two of them would have worked had Matt Damon been any older. The final scene with Will driving off to Skylar is just so much 20-something hope and promise and longing.

For a brief actor bio, I often look for a couple of quick pieces of information. Based on what I previously wrote about the actor, I first saw Matthew Davis in “Legally Blonde” and then again in “The Vampire Diaries.” Interestingly, he is from Salt Lake City, Utah and his on-screen character is from various places.
Looking for more info on the guy? Check out his other roles on IMDb, and see how he’s done in his other stand-out roles. This birthday and place of birth info was just a little frame to help you view his other work – and how he’s matured as an actor over the years.

I want to talk about the hairpins of The Unfold wife. Throughout the early episodes of the series, the wife of The Unfold collects hairpins that the nobles had given to her. At first glance, one would assume that she collects them because she is oppressed. However, she secretly sharpens them to be used as lockpicks and to be filled with poison to be used on others. This was a detail that I had not even noticed the first time I watched the series. It makes rewatching the series really cool. The silent victories that the wife of The Unfold achieves before her big scene could have been written in such a one-dimensional manner. But instead, she has many of these silent victories throughout the series. For example, there is a scene where she ‘accidentally’ spills tea on some documents that were supposed to be sent off to force her into a marriage. It was a really cool thing to realize on a rewatch.

'My Brilliant Career' is one of the few novels where the major flaws of the main character are the entire point of her story. Sybylla’s struggles to express herself creatively in the face of poverty, social convention and her own bursting emotions is a wonderful theme about the difficulties of being true to oneself. The backdrop of dusty, desert-like Australian bushland is a perfect external manifestation of the turmoil within Sybylla as she makes her way in life. But Franklin has resisted the temptation to turn ‘My Brilliant Career’ into a manifesto for the independent young woman and has drawn instead a remarkable portrait of a young girl trying to make her way towards something true, even when she’s not entirely sure what that will be.

No – this is not a memoir. Although the author is long deceased, it would no doubt be categorized differently than it is currently and be picked apart by scholars referring back to her own diaries and other writings. Instead this is solid Fiction, of the ‘confessional’ type – i.e. where one can so clearly sense the author’s presence that it is almost as if they were sitting talking with you, their secrets revealed through fictional characters.
When she later distanced herself from the book she felt exposed. This is not true for entirely invented stories. Franklin drew the lightning from her own stormy adolescence and wrote the story of Sybylla Melvyn. It is not the factual story of Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin but her story in spirit, anger and in dazzling, uncomfortable truth.

Fallen, the latest record from Within Temposition, is an extremely complex album and delves into many different themes and subjects. Yes, there is plenty of love expressed in the songs but there is also plenty of pain and heartache too. This is especially evident in ‘Taking Over Me’ as the yearning and adoration is palpable. But, as one can expect, it is not all good and there is a dark underbelly to the majority of the songs where the memories of past losses linger.
Also impressive is the exploration of self-acceptance throughout the album. By exploring the trauma and heartache of the main character, there is ultimately a realization of the value of who they are, and that is incredibly powerful for anyone who has had to struggle to come to terms with their own identity. An incredible and deeply emotional album, ‘Fallen’ leaves an indelible mark on the listener.
