He has a huge dedicated community, and these movies have never been discussed on his website.
He covers the good, the bad, and the ugly…in movies, that is.
In his debut essay collection, Nicholas Belardes uses today’s pop culture and self-deprecating humor as a filter for discussing personal stories of family, writing, gender, art, and race. He dives into the Harry Potter play and discusses his cursed childhood home. He tells coming-of-age tales of Dungeons & Dragons and blames Stranger Things for jogging those hilarious memories. In great detail he describes how working for a cheesy Las Vegas animation company meant everything to a relationship with his dad. And he presents an unpopular artistic argument for how Tyrion Lannister of Game of Thrones may have ruined his life as a writer (not really). He gives you Star Wars and its weird connections to the Catcher in the Rye (as well as artistic expectations in education). In an essay about race he presents virtual universes, cowboy images of his racist dad, and odd choices of identity in Ready Player One. He even provides a layman’s guide for how to introduce someone to Star Trek while at the same time telling us that what we mimic might not be good for us. He also discusses miscommunication in the world in relation to writing the first original Twitter novel, Small Places. And finally, he describes how American numbness negatively affects the world of art. Belardes presents a side of our humanity working in tandem with pop culture. It isn’t always pretty, though it is hopeful, sometimes funny, and full of promise.
Nicholas Belardes has worked as a writer, screenwriter, even an animation writer. His work has been talked about across North America and Europe, including Wired Magazine, Coast to Coast A.M., U.K. Guardian, The Telegraph, Christian Science Monitor, and countless other newspapers, radio stations and TV appearances. His work has appeared in leading news sources like CNN.com, ABC News, even in American journals Carve Magazine, Pithead Chapel, The Weeklings, and others. He’s literally been exposed to an audience of millions, which includes his social media projects that not only went viral more than six years ago but are still being talked about in major media and colleges. Bettina Gilois has won the Humanitas Prize, and Black Reels Best Screenplay for Glory Road. She has written for Jerry Bruckheimer, and in addition to writing books and screenplays, she blogs about art and life for the Huffington Post.
