March 25th, 2023 This is an essay about grief and, out of respect, I have to preface it with a spoiler warning for John Wick 4. It’s only a line of dialogue, but it’s what got me thinking about this in the first place, and if you don’t want a frame of the new filmContinue reading “Maybe I’m Wrong”

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review
March 11th, 2023 My interest started when the reviews were strangely good. Then it was massively popular. Then it got nominated for a ton of awards, while the animation industry buzzed, crowed, and purred about it, too. Then my friends swore by its brilliance. And then Peacock added it to their library today. Puss inContinue reading “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish Review”

Jargon Decrypted
February 19th, 2023 I’ve written several series for the web. We actually used to call them that: web series. I don’t really hear that term much anymore, except when used to describe sitcoms starring spiders. Several web shows I created were never released. Some notable titles include: The Green House, about two immature men whoContinue reading “Jargon Decrypted”
The Visitor! Revisited
February 10th, 2023 I once tried to make a movie. A musical one. About an alien. The other topic this month is Unproduced Work, and I’m going to start with the film that, to be completely honest, kind of broke my weird, little heart. This is The Visitor! By 2011, I had produced a lotContinue reading “The Visitor! Revisited”

February 1st, 2023 Welcome to February. It’s just as damn cold as yesterday. It is also a brand new monthly topic on my Sleeping Kitty Productions 2023 calendar: Internet Writing & Unproduced Work. And I’m going to start with a big question: Why the hell do I do this? By that, I mean: what isContinue reading “SKP 2023: Online Writing & Unproduced Work”
The Triumph of Never Growing Old and the Spirit of Never Giving Up
January 10th, 2023 “Dennis, Steve and I think you will be as great as Walt Disney but you need to know all the big WORDS! We hope this will help. Be creative?” – Inscription from a thesaurus I received in the early 90’s, from my Aunt Jan and Uncle Steve My obsession with Walt DisneyContinue reading “The Triumph of Never Growing Old and the Spirit of Never Giving Up”
Dennis’ Faves of 2022
January 4th, 2023 Looks like we’re trapped indoors another day, which means there is no better time to share what I enjoyed in 2022. This isn’t a “Best Of” list; this is the stuff that captivated and moved me, and the comics, TV, and films I looked forward to throughout the year. A ton ofContinue reading “Dennis’ Faves of 2022”

December 31st, 2022 Hello there. 2023 is a big year, as far as celebrating my (lack of a) creative career goes.
