Bright Future Ahead: Theater Academy Helsinki – Writing

December 1, 2014 in Blogs, HedonisticActor

Welcome back to Bright Future Ahead, the blog series where I, Matti Mali aka HedonisticActor, chronicle my attempts to become highly educated. In the previous blog I talked about the entry requirements of Finalnd’s biggest theater school Theater Academy of Helsinki’s acting course so this time I talk about the writing course. To be accurate it’s more about dramaturgy that is about the ways of making your text to work on stage. So far I have tried to it only once in 2013. Read the rest of this entry →

Old Shames: Energycore of Power #29-33

August 15, 2014 in Blogs, HedonisticActor

Hi, I’m Matti Mali aka HedonisticActor and I continue Old Shames in text form and conclude the chronicling of the unfinished part of my old superhero comic series Energycore of Power. That’s right, I can finally put this series’ old incarnation to rest after two years of bitching about it. Anyway, the biggest event during the three previous issues was the death of the former main character Stanley Stromberg aka Stormkiller at the hands of team’s former member Richard “Pirate” Strong. He has however escaped Earth with his new love of his life, the former Governor of Massachusetts Daisy “Mutant Queen” Masterson (I have no idea who would have replaced her vacancy) and her bodyguard Lena “Pistol Gal” Frindt. Let’s not waste anymore time and just take a look at all the five issues that were meant to be released in 2007. Read the rest of this entry →

Old Shames: Energycore of Power #26-28

July 20, 2014 in Blogs, HedonisticActor

Hi, I’m Matti Mali aka HedonisticActor and I continue Old Shames in text form and chronicle the unfinished part of my old superhero comic series Energycore of Power. In the three previous issues we got the new main character as the former governor of Massachusetts Harvey “Lucky Guy” Stromberg became the team’s leader after his little brother Stanley aka Stormkiller got depowered by aliens. Lucky Guy also did the impossible and managed to neutralize their long time foe Ripper. However Pirate had to leave due to having an affair with the new villain and the current governor of Massachusetts Mutant Queen who has sent her subordinates in Psion to put her plan to give everyone superpowers in motion. So let’s see how well that succeeds in the three last issues meant to be released in 2006. Read the rest of this entry →

Old Shames: Energycore of Power #23-25

June 25, 2014 in Blogs, HedonisticActor

Hi, I’m Matti Mali aka HedonisticActor and I continue Old Shames in text form and chronicle the unfinished part of my old superhero comic series Energycore of Power. In the three previous issues the titular superhero team travelled around the world teaming with other superhero teams to kick some villainous ass while their nemesis team Protectors of Humankind was tagging along in the background. They also found an extraterrestrial they need for getting Stormkiller’s powers out of him without it endangering the balance of Earth’s water cycle. I shake my head every time I have to write that sentence. Anyway, issues #23-25.
