A true artistic paragon, Poe's style was darkness sublime.

"Theories In Chaos:Zombies Ain't Got No Brains"byWilliam Blake Vogel IIIJune 7, 2005 A.D. As a whole, zombies are pretty uninteresting as far as monsters go. They have no intelligence, or even basic animal cunning. They're soulless automatons wandering around aimlessly destroying things. George A. Romero refers them as the "working-class monster." But really they're more like socialist

"Theories In Chaos:This Is Real"byW.B. VogelMay 10, 2005 A.D. The nature of reality is that it is what you make of it. Much can be said for what Edgar Allan Poe wondered: "Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?" For some the entire world is skewed by the colors of their reality. Even though it may be untrue, a belief can shape reality with jagged result. Belief can free,

"Theories In Chaos:What We Are"byW.B. VogelNovember 11, 2004 A.D. A man builds his monuments from what is at hand. From that stony stuff of his heart, he creates his own image. Who we are is what we make and do. These are the things that we give to the world. General Joseph Shelby once said, "We are the last of our race. And let us be the best as well." Great deeds cast a long shadow.

The End Of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.... Sadly, tonight will be the last episode of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." This is a show that I will truly miss. It was a great fusion of horror and humor, violence and beauty. And I always got my much needed vampire fix.... Hopefully, "True Calling" (the FOX spin-off) will be half as good. This is really a shame. Take care, my kindred....

"Theories In Chaos: Critical View of Critics" by W.B. Vogel March 18, 2003 A.D. There is no great science to being a reviewer/critic. Strip away all of the pretentiousness and position, and it's all just a matter of taste. Is Roger Ebert's judgment any more important than yours is? Of course not. It's all just opinion.
