Failure is an option.

'A success shaped hole called failure' is a collection of my writing from the internet, as well as my blog and some fiction and what not. It isn't very flashy. In fact it's quite inanimate, despite largely (though not exclusively) dealing with moving pictures.

FeaturesI have been very busy contributing to some forthcoming books: Venice is out. I have also created another site which is taking up a lot of time. It's called the Studio Exec. But don't tell anyone I write for it because it's very hush hush.
I have a new article on Vomit at Electric Sheep. An interview with Alps director, Yorgos Lanthimos here. I have a Festival page with links to all my reviews from Venice and Cannes. A quick general report is over at Electric Sheep here. My polemic against the Avengers and comic book movies general is available here. I also have an article on Christopher Nolan right here. |
