Why subscribe?

Oh, what, is this yet another former writer for a genre site publishing his predictable opinions about Star Wars and Marvel? No. It is not. I am LYT, dammit.

What would be the point of doing predictable things I once got paid for? Having my own place means doing what I want. And what I want to see is written articles, more than 800 words, about whatever’s interesting to me. Sometimes it could include genre things. Sometimes, it won’t be about movies at all. Every time, it will be informed by my life experience, which I guarantee is not yours. This site will not and cannot simply be a copy of all the other “I review the popular movies” substacks. I will review them when I’ve something to say about them.

Among other things, I also talk about fast food, theology and atheism, toys, and my past lives in Appalachia and Ireland. Sometimes I just share my photos. But I keep a pretty decent pace and mix.
