About Shawn Deena

Shawn Deena is a writer, musician, gamer and all around comic book and sci-fi nerd. As lover of films and television he has entirely useless library of knowledge that has now been increased thanks to the large volume of movies and TV shows Netflix offers on their instant play. As someone who likes to share his opinion, having a forum where he can rant incessantly about things in entertainment that bother him, make him laugh or make him want to hit himself in the face with a DVD box is a good thing. Having written about everything from Office Depot chairs to the page turning excitement of CPA guidebooks nothing pleases him more than writing about the stuff he loves and knows.

I Don’t Care About the Royal Wedding

royal-wedding-pizza

All this coverage and hoopla — it’s like events and moments created to give this thing more significance that it really has. The mere notion of a royal wedding seems absurd at this point in our history because the royal is rather meaningless. I mean when you get down to the basics of it — this is essentially a wedding of ridiculously wealthy person to a not terribly poor woman, who because of his position in the country and his riches is able to marshal a massive police force and employ a large amount of his “subjects” to cater this shindig.
