Hello World!

It would be customary, at this time, to open this up with an intro. Some kind of hello, how are you, my name is __________ and here are the top three most interesting (or not) things about me. But I’m not going to start that way. Maybe if you follow along, you’ll get to know me a bit better. Maybe you know me already. The only thing to say is that I love to write, I love movies, and this is my irreverent reflection on entertainment, culture, and life, so if you don’t like it, don’t read it.

Here you might be wondering, what is That Ridiculous Fantastic? And I say you know, just think.

-It’s the fucked up but fucking awesome place that we call home

-It’s the violence and the laughter, the hate and the love, the sad and the happy all rolled into one big ball of crazy

-It’s the sights, the smells, the tastes, the feeling…and the way it all melds together is both disgusting and incredible

-It’s the living and the dead and all those in between (and lets face it, most of us are in that last category)

-It’s everything, it’s life, and it’s worth talking about worth screaming about, and it’s best represented in our films, our music, our art, in the way we talk, and the way we act, and we should talk about it.

So let’s talk about it. Or think about it. Or criticize it. Or rave about it. I’ll find the ridiculous fantastic in anything and everything. So read on.
