About Marty

Hollywood screenwriter, reformed attorney and worshiper of the tiny princesses on Monster Island. Became a nerd as a child, thanks to lack of athletic ability, which turned me on to fantasy novels, scifi movies, and not having girlfriends. Favorite projects I've worked on as writer - various tv shows, adapting BBC SILK for the U.S., and the Japanese anime BLACKJACK. Oh and I also wrote the #1 Wondery podcast, MANslaughter.

FESTER FRIDAY: THE NEWS.

Marty 0

That’s right. I fucking hate the news, and so should you. Because it’s mostly terrible. You never put on the news and find out your life is better. The exception being if they’re reporting the […]

Ramblings Fall TV Preview. Volume I. The Letter R.

That’s right. I’m doing a Fall TV preview. Just like the big boys! EW, eat your heart out. HITFIX can’t touch this. Hollywood Reporter … go report on being schooled! What are my qualifications? I […]

RAMBLINGS NOT AT THE MOVIES: TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE.

Let’s get right into this snoozer, which I will never, ever see. Not even on cable. Not even on a plane where it’s on the tiny screen inches from my face in my claustrophobic economy […]

WARP SPEED WEDNESDAY. NASA.

Marty 1

I saw on CNN today that NASA was retiring the Space Shuttle Endeavor, as they cut to a shot of the clumsy looking space craft, airborne, humping a much cooler looking 747. And my first […]
