How's it going lurkers? Today would've been Brandon Lee's 50th birthday. Had the creators of Robot Chicken not mocked The Crow in such a distasteful manner, I would've shared their short for today's Cartoon Sunday.
Over the last 2 decades, I have noticed The Crow fans being taunted much like Anime fans and other fandoms. I'm a fan of Robot Chicken, The Crow, and Anime. However, I only turn into a fangirl, when it comes to The Crow and Brandon Lee in general. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.
Rather than sharing a cartoon, I'm sharing another blog from Blogster. It was originally an Art Sunday blog on Blogster.
When I published it 2 Julys ago, a certain nitpicky, Baby Boomer/drag queen used "her" so-called "short
attention span" as a scapegoat for her personal disinterest.
Since I no longer participate in her Song Saturday and Art Sunday Tours, I'm re-sharing this blog I published about James O'Barr's The Crow on here.
In addition to this Art Sunday blog, I have 2 other blogs dedicated to Brandon Lee.
Happy 48th Birthday To The Late Brandon Lee!
Song Saturday Special: Happy 49th To The Late Brandon Lee
Anyway, here's my Brandon Lee (and I suppose you can still say James O'Barr's) tribute.
This blog was originally published on Blogster July 27, 2013.
How's it going Xangans and Blogsterians? I hope you're all enjoying your hot and sunny weather this weekend. Ours disappeared in WI. Yesterday and today, we only reached 65 degrees. It feels like it is early spring because it is cold for late July.
Aside from that, I've been meaning to do an Art Sunday blog, but I usually forget about it. I believe my last Art Sunday blog was my Short Horror Story, Across The Street. Most people don't view writing as an art form because it is written rather than drawn. I have not done any physical art work, since my high school senior year. Ceramics was the last physical art class I took.
Now, that I have come up with something for another Art Sunday, I decided to share this James O'Barr interview. I YouTubed it last year. Apparently, this video is on the re-release of The Crow.
I have The Crow on the original VHS. I really should buy an updated version because James O'Barr's documentary is NOT on the VHS for The Crow.
When I originally watched this interview last year, I couldn't help empathizing with O'Barr. He mentioned, that his work was a form of catharsis for him.
Not only is James O'Barr's work cathartic for him, but also listening to the author explain in detail about his previous fiancee being killed by a drunk driver made me sympathize and empathize with him.
Luckily, none of my immediate family, friends, or exes were killed by drunk drivers. Although, some college peers of mine were killed by drunk drivers.
As far as love goes, being unable to be with that 1 person, who I loved the most really hit close to home for me, after watching and listening to James O'Barr's documentary.
The man I really wanted to be with the most is not dead. He became a drug addict, who refuses to acknowledge me anymore. This is especially after he recently learned that his so-called "friend" was behind my abuse, years ago.
Sometimes, I emotionally torture myself and regret ever telling him about what happened to me. He probably wouldn't have turned so cold and rebuked me had I stayed quiet.
Anyway, here is James O'Barr's documented interview about his comic book, The Crow.
