i just looked on their website. they're an independent publishing company, so no, it didn't cost ERod anything to get his book published (except for the money he paid for the cover art). also, most legitimate publishers (both independent and traditional) don't charge anything to publish books. they just take part of the book sales.
speaking as someone who works at a writing studio, i can safely say that the way he describes the premise of his book by comparing it to two Angela Lansbury movies screams "nerdy basement-dweller".
She is a bad writer and a lot of writers that were CA members, wannabees and influencers are known for being shitty writers
That's the thing, I've never heard of a scheme like this before where they publish your first book for you (but only in limited regions and not paying for the artwork which any decent publisher will make artwork without obviously charging you) and then want to charge you for the followup book. It's just an odd scheme.
Maybe they just realized they're stuck with a hack, so might as well get some money out of it since I doubt his book will sell.
fair point. tbh, i thought it was odd a Puerto Rican was charging pounds instead of dollars for his book
He talked smack about the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie claiming it shit on the original cartoon and its lore when it was actually a love letter that explores what happens to washed-up actors who are left behind while remaining respectful to the characters and their legacy. I think the only positive thing he said was he liked Boris and Natasha who were the human perspective of that very thing he criticized. I also remember he was torn apart over his Robots review because he was mean for the sake of being mean and never could back up any of his criticisms. Couldn't tell you anything in particular other than the comments on TGWTG (all of which vanished from existence when it became Channel Awesome) were overwhelmingly negative.
Everything about him is surface level.
I love all the dumb fucks in those comments like
The superior Tarzan movie is the one with Bo Derek's tits.
I mean Erod is not known for being creative such as his Phantom Menace review where he had epic battle scenes with Geoge Lucas and an evil version of himself.
Oh, how I hated his review for Robots. Spending an amount of time with his dumb theory about a world where robots replaced humans in their world or something like that, pointing out silent celebrity cameos with "fuck yous" (because who the hell even cares?), bitching about celebrities who are not known for voice-over work doing voice-over work (something that he also complained about during the review of "Smurfs 2" regarding Christina Ricci and JB Smoove--as well as "The Legend of Dorothy") to the point of going "why can't we go back to the days of Cree Summer and Rob Paulsen??" (because those people are regulated to TV and additional voices in animated films only, you bitter shit), and criticizing Ewan MacGregor's American accent. His accent was not bad, as far as I can remember. And I can say the same for Benedict Cumberbatch's supposedly "bad" American accent, come fight me.
