Pearl Harbor sucked

So, just to give an idea of the scope of its failure as a movie, the first 10 minutes of "Enemy at the Gates" (2001) was better than the whole of "Pearl Harbor" (2001). And it wasn’t received all that well either…. The love triangle was depicted much much better than in "Pearl Harbor", although Roger Ebert makes a great point about it:
“The movie is inspired by true events, we’re told, although I doubt real life involved a love triangle; the film might have been better and leaner if it had told the story of the two soldiers and left out the soppy stuff.”

So, I just happened to pick up this cewl Khaki shirt, and it now seems fitting to wear. In celebration of the Soviet victory in Stalingrad (oh, I didn’t give anything away in the movie), I’m creating some Russian (Leader) propaganda posters.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
