FAQ

Kent M. Beeson is a freelance writer living in Seattle, WA with his wife and one year old daughter. He writes about film at his blog This Can't End Well, builds screenplays with fellow Muriel voter Martin McClellan, and will have a column about comic-book movies at Comixology, unless I just jinxed it, then he won't. Although he looks like a person, he is actually just a raincoat, on top of a raincoat, on top of another raincoat, on top of another raincoat, on top of a fifth raincoat, on top of a final raincoat, on top of a dead rat.
