GG
was born out of a desire that we had to provide a place where people
within the Gothic/Industrial community could come together.
No, not like that Sicko!
.

.
We hardly know you.
*hee*
We are connected to so many incredibly talented people, from so
many different areas of expertise, from all around the Globe. What
was lacking was somewhere that showcased ALL of these things, with
all of these wickedly wonderful people.
We also wanted to provide a place where people from around the world,
could share ideas and network with other people of like minds.
Our community as a whole has gotten an undeserved slew of bad press
over the last few years. The general consensus seems to be that
anyone with a penchant for dark music and darker writings must be
a baby eating devil worshipper.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve only eaten one baby
this week and it was just a wee one.
(Yes, that was a joke.)
The point is that we as a worldwide community have an innumerable
amount of varied tastes in music, literature, art, and dress.
I myself have everything in my Poetry collection from Baudelaire
to Sage Francis.
I have Platforms right next to my Maryjanes.
I like old Cure as much as I enjoy Telefon Tel Aviv
It’s that diversity that brought us together here at GlobalGothic,
and it’s that diversity that will drive the content you will
see on GlobalGothic.com in the months to come.
We will feature a new Band, Author, Artist and Hawtie every month.
We will also be reviewing books, movies, music, and fashion.
Expect each month to differ from the last. You’ll see, read,
and hear it all here at GlobalGothic.
We want to provide an arena for all of these amazing talents globally
to showcase their work.
You’ll see familiar faces and brand new ones. There are so
many incredible people out there who don’t get their shot
at the spotlight for whatever reason, and their hard work never
gets the attention it truly deserves.
We want GG to be part of making that happen for those that work
so hard to achieve success.
We want you to be part of making that happen with us.
If you think of something you would like to see, let us know. If
you’d like to submit you’re efforts or know someone
that should be featured at GG, drop us a line at: webmaster@globalgothic.com
Thanks for being here.

April 4, 2007:
The long-awaited review of 2007's blockbuster "300"
has been written by Global Gothic's resident film critic, Loy. Here's
a scathing snippet with a link to the full review below.
"First of all, to walk in expecting a major epic to
stand the test of time is to await for disappointment. I mean, in
comparison to, say, 'Spartacus' (or even *shiver* 'Gladiator'),
'300' fails.
Some comic dorks might think I’m being
slight, and I really don’t give a shit. See, I’ll admit
something-I never read Frank Millers comics anymore. I’ll
admit something else that’ll give me grief over the next 20
years-for the most part, I never gave a shit about Frank Millers
works."
Stick around for our first dueling review here at GlobalGothic.
Another outspoken GG'er will give us their opinion on why 300
was everything they wanted it to be and more.
Someone might want to bring a mop for all the blood.
This could get ugly, folks.
*pops popcorn*
