About Me…
I sometimes go by the handle of D.K. Latta and I'm a Canadian sometimes fiction writer and self-appointed pop commentator who has opined about Canadian film & TV (at "The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies & TV"...and elsewhere), comic books/graphic novels (at "The Masked Bookwyrm's Graphic Novel Reviews"...and elsewhere) and storytelling in general (with some essays at the archived Pulp & Dagger Fiction) and am now turning my astute and canny observations (read: incessant blathering) toward a Blog that will, variously, touch on these topics...and more. Oooh...and I also love radio drama!Categories
Quote du Jour…ish
"I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose." ~ Spock, "Star Trek: The Squire of Gothos"-

Eeyore-ing the Up-Coming Winter/Spring Canadian TV Season
When it comes to Canadian arts and entertainment, which always seems to be reeling from one body blow in the ring or another, one probably shouldn’t always play Eeyore — y’know, bemoaning this or that, always seeing the glass as … Continue reading
