Re: 3 Toy Brands Unexpectedly Spark a Content Marketing Adventure

JimMacLeod — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 09:14:23 -0000

I loved the story in the Toys that Made Us where the Masters of the Universe creators were blindly coming up with ideas to tell the story of the toys.

Without Kapost, our content and creative operations would be a mess.

Joe,
Best of luck on the new adventure. Your insights will be missed, but I'm looking forward to seeing where your journey takes you next.

FWIW, I didn't foresee the twist this post was going to take.

Thanks for everything (past and future),
-Jim

The Deeply Graphic Designcast is pretty good, too. http://thedeependdesign.com...

This is great. Thanks for the opportunity. jim@jimmacleod.com

Re: Five Apocalypse Stories Fit for Film

I see you're just on here picking fights with everyone, and that's fine. We're all speculating at this point. Sorry if some of our theories are inferior to yours.

No way will they do time travel/alternate timeline stories in back-to-back movies.

AoA was only good because it radically broke from the established storyline. The movies don't have an established storyline to break.

Best bet is probably the Fall of the Mutants X-Factor story. Origin-threat-defeated. These others are too complex to put into one movie.

It might not be great, but it is a HUGE upgrade.

Re: Sox Are In Playoffs, Reader Rant on Mazz

I feel sorry for the person who wrote that piece. I gave up on F&M a while ago. Felger is pretty good when he's not hammering his agenda against the NBA or the Krafts. Mazz offers nothing of value. He's the reason I stopped listening to the show.

And no, I didn't switch back to WEEI. I started listening to podcasts. Something that is actually interesting and entertaining.

Posts like this remind me why I'm thankful I stopped listening to F&M. Hammering wild conspiracy theories for weeks on end aren't interesting anymore.

Re: Requiem For Happy Endings and Don’t Trust the B– in Apartment 23

JimMacLeod — Fri, 17 May 2013 06:52:19 -0000

That's funny, the #1 reason I didn't initially watch Happy Endings was out of spite because it had replaced Better Off Ted.

I used to watch the Baseball Show every weekend. Now I just tune in to see if Shank is on there. If he is, I'm off to waste my time with something else. Sorry CSNNE, but I refuse to watch anything that he's on.

I watch these shows because I'm interested in baseball analysis. Not some troll trying to further his own lazy agenda.

Re: If Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark, Where Does That Leave Iron Man?

JimMacLeod — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:45:02 -0000

He lost to Pacino that year. But otherwise, you're correct. He was a big star for a while before his downfall.

"the Sox traded for another permanent game-ender, Byung-Hyun Kim." That's right, he definitely ended games. Too bad it wasn't in the way we wanted them to end.

Do you know where I can find a legible version of this Infographic?

Re: Is There a “Side Project Bubble?”

JimMacLeod — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 05:48:00 -0000

Even though I sometimes border on burnout, my side job enables me time to learn new skills that I apply to my day job. Plus, I'm dependent on the additional income the side job provides.

Re: Media Turds in the Punchbowl Can’t Help Themselves

JimMacLeod — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:28:47 -0000

At some point I hope the powers-that-be tell Felger he has to do his job. Pushing biased agendas and not giving an opinion when he's asked is not what he's paid for.

Re: Sports Media Musings: The Mailbag, Chapter III

JimMacLeod — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:32:06 -0000

Don't worry, this is garbage time for WEEI. Minihane is in there to get some reps during a blowout. He'll be the "starter" before you know it.

Re: Sports Media Musings: Columnists Gone ‘Cray’

JimMacLeod — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:19:47 -0000

How pissed is Shank that he didn't think of this "angle" on Brady's contract?

Thanks. Just fixed it.

Re: Chad Finn Reports WEEI To Replace Glenn Ordway With Mike Salk

JimMacLeod — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:19:09 -0000

Since Felger and Mazz have become unlistenable, I find myself listening to The Big Show more often. Hopefully Salk can bring some actual sports insight.

Re: For Francona and Red Sox, a complicated legacy

JimMacLeod — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:28:16 -0000

Recaps like this are great because I can get info from the book, but I don't have to fork over any money to that hack Shaughnessy.

Re: Ho-Hum, Another AFC Title Game Appearance For The Patriots

JimMacLeod — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:43:53 -0000

I usually like Tom Curran. This makes me like him more. He just called out the two biggest "Look at me!" personalities in Boston sports.
But I can understand Curran's frustration. He actually has to work to do his job (provide value to sports fans). I can't say the same for Felger and Shank.

In fairness, sometimes Felger does have some insight to contribute.

Re: Ron Borges Caught In Another Lie, Mazz Making Stuff Up, and Peter King’s Laughable Rationalization

JimMacLeod — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:22:45 -0000

Isn't it obvious that this job is the first time Mazz has been invited to sit with the cool kids? Now he gets to crap on everyone "below him." I'm amazed it's lasted this long.
