Auteur Watch - James Baldridge Sr.

The Ten CommandmentsThe GodfatherLawrence of ArabiaIt's a Wonderful Life... these are timeless classics that James Baldridge Sr. had nothing to do with... a lot!  Well, I suppose one could say that about lots of people.  The vast majority, in fact!... ah, let's just move on.  How about James Bambridge?  Nah, just a mere writer.  Ooh!  Maybe it's a week of underachievers!  I could deal with that.

...nope, spoke too soon.  How about James Berridge?  Nah, Special Effects.  Google (TM) (R) (C) them on YouTube (C) (R) (TM).  Faerie Tales with a Modern App twist.  Busy 2018!  How about this James Berridge?  Nah, Special Effects... hmm!  Could they actually be the same guy?  Hard to tell, as there's no common thread between Twisted Sobriety and the Modern App Faerie Tale things.  I guess they're not.  

Moving on!  How about this James Berridge?  Nah, Art Department... but these two Blythe Robinsons seem to be the same guy!  See?  Blythe Robinson 1, Blythe Robinson 2.  Moving on.  How about this James Berridge?  HALLELUJAH!!!  We finally struck land on Pyrite Island, and it looks like another multi-decade underachiever.  Well, some people have bigger families than others.  Lotta little fires to put out and whatnot.  But it looks like this Homer thing is going to launch a lot of new A-List careers, no question.  And a thematic shift from your usual obsessions is a must in the high-stakes world of Competitive Storytelling for Fun and Profit.  I mean, "The Power Behind""The Secret Life of Marionettes""Mercy," indeed!
