The Homoeroticism Of ‘Batman Forever’

By the time Batman Forever hit theaters in June of 1995, the franchise was already running out of steam. Tim Burton had back way from directing the third movie following criticism of Batman Returns. He later admitted that Warner Bros. didn’t want him returning. Burton remained on as a producer. Joel Schumacher had been addedContinue reading “The Homoeroticism Of ‘Batman Forever’”

The Versatility Of Julian Sands

Like most people, I held out hope that Julian Sands, who had been reported missing since January, was still alive. But news came in from authorities in southern California earlier this week that Sands had been reported dead. His body was reportedly found on Mount Baldy in San Gabriel Mountains on the border of SanContinue reading “The Versatility Of Julian Sands”

‘Seinfeld’ Mocked Male Insecurities With Classic “Outing” Episode

At the height of its popular in the early to mid-1990s, Seinfeld took a bold roll of the dice on an episode that exposed the insecurities of men in regards to being considered gay. Titled “The Outing” and airing in the mid-winter of 1993, the premise has Jerry Seinfield and his long-time friend, George ConstanzaContinue reading “‘Seinfeld’ Mocked Male Insecurities With Classic “Outing” Episode”

‘Extraction 2’ Better Than First

Back during the summer of 2020 and the Covid Pandemic had us anxious and wanting to get out, Extraction seemed like the perfect action movie. Chris Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, the archetypical soldier-for-hire mercenary who plays by his own rules who isn’t afraid to down a hard drink and do something stupid like jump offContinue reading “‘Extraction 2’ Better Than First”

‘Based On A True Story’ Wastes A Good Plot With A Not-So-Good Execution

It’s hard to watch Peacock’s Based on a True Story series without comparing it to Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. Both series deal with people obsessed with true-crime podcasts who find themselves involved too closesly with a real murder. The gag of Murders was how it seemed their insistence that a reported suicide wasContinue reading “‘Based On A True Story’ Wastes A Good Plot With A Not-So-Good Execution”

Why People Didn’t Care Much About The OceanGate Titan Disaster

There used to be an old joke when I was growing up that went like this – “What do you call 1,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.” Sometimes the number varied from a few hundred to a 10,000. Either way, the joke was we have too many lawyers in thisContinue reading “Why People Didn’t Care Much About The OceanGate Titan Disaster”

‘Orca’ Foretold The Future

Note: This focus will be on horror/thrillers that have featured the LGBTQIA community and/or have themes as June is Pride Month. While he portrays Paul, a supporting character, Peter Hooten is an openly gay man. I also felt this was appropriate with reports of orcas damaging boats. With reports coming out that orcas are destroyingContinue reading “‘Orca’ Foretold The Future”

‘Flamin’ Hot’ Is Hard To Swallow

Most movies based on true stories fudge the facts so much that you can’t believe it. Thew only accurate thing about Good Morning Vietnam was that Air Force service member Adrian Cronauer was on the radio in Saigon during Vietnam. Everything else was made up by Robin Williams and director Barry Levinson. Despite what weContinue reading “‘Flamin’ Hot’ Is Hard To Swallow”

If Hunter Biden Broke The Law, Then He Should Be Held Accountable

You’d think Republicans would be happy that Hunter Biden is finally going to be convicted in federal prison. A friend of mine and I joked that the cocaine orgy they’d be throwing this week would be like the one in Eyes Wide Shut. But they’re not happy. Of course, they’re not happy. Republicans don’t reallyContinue reading “If Hunter Biden Broke The Law, Then He Should Be Held Accountable”

‘Arnold’ Burns Out In Its Own Pace

The problem with the Netflix docuseries Arnold is that it tells the most fasciniating and intriquing stories first and then reduces the second half to boring talking head interviews from famous faces praising Arnold Schwarzenegger and a focus on his term as the “Governator” of “Calie-Fornie-Ah” that would put any political science professor to sleep.Continue reading “‘Arnold’ Burns Out In Its Own Pace”
