Fantasy, Magic and Legend
Good friend, M. Lori Motley, is pumping out posts on her hilarious fantasy fiction blog – Scourge of Feathers.
So far, we’ve got an idiot guard who thinks he’s a hell of a lot more important than he really is, an obnoxious magpie, and a smokin’ hot mysterious woman. What could happen next?
Read a bit about Barend, the world where everything’s going down:
Barend could be described as a quaint, out-of-the-way kingdom with cozy cottages and impressive antique architecture. But that’s only if the person describing it was being paid by a travel agency really intent on going bankrupt after a class action lawsuit over misleading advertising.
What Barend really is has to be considered closely. To the people who live there, eeking out an existence, or trodding upon the eekers to create a much more fabulous existence, Barend is home. And home, no matter how horrid, holds a certain place in a person’s heart. Many of the citizens of Barend are fiercely loyal to it. Many of the citizens of Barend have never been anywhere else and cannot even read.

Lee’s origins are oddly set in San Francisco instead of his real home in Seattle, but then again there is plenty of artistic license going on as Cohen explores the actor’s psyche through some powerful fantasy sequences. Lauren Holly is good as Lee’s wife, Linda (whose book about her late husband inspired this movie). A scene involving Bruce’s rescue of son Brandon (who died in a filmmaking accident in 1993) from a murderous spirit is plain spooky. The special-edition DVD release has a widescreen presentation, director interview, featurette, screen tests, closed captioning, optional French soundtrack, a (more…)

Birds of Myth and Legend – The Phoenix
Most people are aware of the amazing regenerative properties of the phoenix, or firebird. This mystical bird was described in many ancient cultures from Phonecia, Egypt, ancient China, and even Africa.

It lives for 1,000 years and then bursts into flames and dies to be reborn from the ashes.
