Vintage Links 004: Heroine’s Journey, Mortal Kombat, Re-Setting After A Bad Day, & Professional Discomfort

The Vintage Links series is an attempt to clear 600+ bookmarked links I compiled over a period of six years, mostly coinciding with the period in which I worked for Queensland Writers Centre. It involves a lot of stuff I flagged because it would be useful at work, in my own process, or just plain useful. Every week I gather together four of the best links I came across while clearing out the bookmarks folder on my browser, presenting a grab-bag of interesting stuff. I’m going full Marie Kondo on those fuckers: everything is checked, thanked, and either deleted or properly filed so I don’t have to deal with it again. If you want to see more, you can see the prior instalments using the Vintage Links tag An Oral Hisotry of the Mortal Combat Movie (Aaron Couch for Hollywood Reporter, 2015) Read it at Hollywood Reporter I have a soft spot for video game adaptations. They’re very rarely great works of cenema,
