What did you choose?
So, if any of you follow Anthony on Twitter or saw the Facebook status update I made literally five seconds ago, you’ll know that I was working my way through Fable II. I say “was” because now I’m done and feeling quite emotionally drained. I don’t want to give anything away, so if you’ve completed Fable II then feel free to hit the jump to answer the question posed by the title of this post. You really shouldn’t spoil it for yourself if you haven’t played it, though!

Ashly was in a short film called “Donna”
Recently, I was in a short film by Gerry Maravilla that involves bunnies, blood, and potential molestation – not in that order. It’s a pretty good time and I really enjoyed working on it so I hope you’ll enjoy watching it.
Check out the movie here
If you really dug it and want to maybe throw a couple of bucks Gerry’s way so he can try to enter it into a film festival (film festivals are hella expensive, unfortunately), buy a DVD or donate to the cause here. There are extras on the dvd, like production stills and commentary (and easter eggs oooo)

Why the fuck do I do this to myself?
I don’t know if this has been established in one of the HAWPcasts before, but Doctor Who makes me cry like a little bitch. There are some episodes that literally make me bawl, as if something important had happened that legitimately warranted that degree of emotion. Doomsday, of course, is one of big ones. If I ever need “a good cry,” instead of turning on “Philadelphia” or “Step Mom” or whatever the fuck movies normal people cry at, I will sit down with some ice cream, watch Rose fall into a parallel dimension and sob like that girl in the audience of American Idol who really loved Sanjaya. Of course, when David Tennant regenerated, I completely lost my goddamn mind. I thought Doomsday was bad; I had no idea I could cry that hard for a goddamn fictional character.
As upset as this scene makes me, for some unconscionable reason, I always want to watch it. Anthony told me he had the same problem. For some reason, we both have a really strange, inexplicable urge to watch a character that we love dearly vanish before our eyes in a burst of fiery passion and sadness and horror over and over again. I actually literally just watched it, which prompted me to write this post. I knew it was going to happen. I saw him stumbling into the TARDIS, I knew exactly what was coming, and of course I cried my eyes out alone in my dorm room like a crazy person. I just have absolutely no idea why I would do that to myself. What about that scene, which obviously makes me so noticeably upset, compels me to review it again and again? Am I just masochistic? Or is there some degree of enjoyment that can be derived in the acknowledgment that a fictional character has endeared himself to you to such an extent that you bawl until your eyes burn? Or should I just stop writing this post because I sound increasingly crazier as it goes on?

Is Carl from Pixar’s ‘Up’ an hero?
[Art by Ashley Davis.]
So, I was watching Up the other day – and by “the other day,” I mean roughly three months ago – and I was thinking about how the majority of the plot progresses entirely independent of Carl’s actions.
I mean, yeah, he injures the construction worker which leads him to flee to South America, but if you think about it, what was his ultimate end game? If Russell hadn’t gotten stuck on his porch, and if he hadn’t gotten Kevin to follow them, and if Dug hadn’t led the rest of the dogs to them – if Carl, without distraction or interruption, had just made it to Paradise Falls – what would have happened?
