The Naming Way With Ol’ C.W.
C.W. Hills
The Naming Way, is 50% media/culture thoughts, 25% essays and personal whatnot that I try to keep relatable, and 25% nonsense and good goofs. End of percents! ZERO MORE PERCENTS.

KACHOW WHAT’S POPPIN’ FELLOW LOVERS AND FIGHTERS AND HOPE-CANDLE LIGHTERS, IT’S YA BOI OL’ C.W. BACK AT IT WITH THE BOOKNOTES, and you’d better believe we’re doing another Mary Roach so TUNE IN, BUCKLE UP, DROP OUT, AND EXPLODE. These are my thoughts on her thoughts, but seriously, if you find yourself laughing or...
Fair is fair, as much as I hate Quaritch and Quariitch in equal measure, the look on the latter’s big blue punim when he touched the arrows sticking out of his dead clone-dad’s skeleton-bones was an incredible moment on every artistic level1 and was the most character development any version of this guy has shown so...
I. The Day The Bubbles Popped A year and more done passed since last I cracked a Diet Coke, and the time has now come to shuck my damn corncob free of the Dr. Pepper that took its place as if it were a different Doctor altogether, perhaps from far Gallifrey. The hardest part has been breaking my powerful association...
In this citizen’s opinion it’s…pretty gross that Jake makes his kid call him ‘sir’; my parents tried to foist that on me but didn’t start until I was WAY too old and it went poorly. I know he was military but like—how’s all that military stuff worked out for you so far bro, how’s your opinion re: the military these...
No, I have not insinuated myself into a new show, creeping like predatory mold on an unwary Senator; The 1940s Radio Hour1 in 2014 was the last time I trod the boards and my tippy-tappers will not know their wooden kiss again until I can trick someone into letting me be Professor Harold Hill2. BUT I recently decided...
I have a bad habit, left over from when I had a website1 and aspirations to I don’t even know what kind of position in the media and writing landscape; I always think anydangthing I write has to be like Proper2, not just in Form but in Content, like I gotta have a full-on fleshed out Thought and Conclusion and gotta...
Okay whole new movie, first things first, let’s check the extra featu—aw yiss, no Family-Friendly Version available this time, we’re gonna hear ALL the fish-cussin’, we had best prepare ourselves for an extended visit from the Foul-Mouthed Bass ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ …so wait if water pours from these floating-islands, wouldn’t...
(Nota bene, each entry has a review using Seth’s proprietary three-point Good-OK-Bad scale, with emojis representative of something that stood out to me about the work1; please do not tell Seth, I am very scared of him) (R: Re-read; B: Reading To Mrs. Columbo At Bedtime Book Club) 1st Rai Rai Rai, Vol. 1 - Yoshiaki...
I am again caught in paradox, because I am OUTRAGED at Quaritch stabbing the murder panther with whom Neytiri had just made friends, it’s a real kick the dog moment; on the other hand, that was a sick-ass parry/counter-attack combo that looks like it would feel AMAZING to pull off in a video game ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ Oh come...
All these people cheering when Quaritch talks about how they’re going to traumatize this entire species down to their core ancestral memories, like what do you all…want? Like is this—what do you think is HAPPENING here? Have you really been brainwashed into thinking that any war is a righteous one? Do you think...
Antecedently: Ashes to ashes, Dwarven inventors to goop; unionizing Gnolls and the unforeseeable consequences thereof; an old roommate from school drops by WE NOW REJOIN THIS POST-HEIST RECAP AND ANALYSIS SHOW ON AMC. Farfalle excuses himself, explaining that he has to go have glowing haunted diarrhea for two weeks,...
Thank you. I am very brave. ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ Oh nooo, are the poor corporate military goons sad that they did a mass murder ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ ⦁ I am very sorry your dad died but Neytiri you must admit that’s a pretty sick-ass bow you just inherited, that’s better than anything they’re selling in the item-shop at this point in the...
