Character
Imperfection is a goal we can all aspire to
finding beauty in imperfection is the principle of art
design should come out of character
we don't design monsters as function
we design characters
Monsters
that are most powerful are most relatable
a great creature is only a creature you can imagine in repose
they invoke pity
horror
beauty
fragility
if you don't have the human part
shooting doesn't matter
if you don't have the relatable part
the teeth don't matter
Story
All have been told
context is half
context is the voice of the narrator
anecdote is the other half
Romeo and Juliet
in space
on a plantation with black slaves
during the invasion of Iraq
video games are the bridge to the future of genre narratives
Media
If you don't know their own set of rules
you fail
movies can permeate video games
video games can permeate movies
comics permeate films
films permeate comics
but
controlling one is not controlling all three
Hollywood
is the land of the slow no
every movie is always on hold
two fucking years to say no
compulsively safe seeking
no is the hardest word to learn as an artist
a big mistake is forcing collaboration
a movie is a marriage
it shows when not interested
you can't fuck without a boner

I was listening to the latest Irrational Interviews podcast, featuring Guillermo Del Toro, and many lines struck a cord with me so I turned it into a found poem. Think of it as a highlight reel of the podcast.
This is a great idea. Nice job.
Love found poems. This is a good one. Nice work!
