Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?

June is Pride Month in support of the LBGTQIA community. Lately, conservatives and Christians have gone on a rant against Target, Bud Light beer and even Chick-fil-A, the corporate equivalent of their grand old racist uncle, for being “woke.” There once was a time when corporations and businesses didn’t acknowledge this community. You may rememberContinue reading “Pride & Acceptance Or Pandering & Profit?”

‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment

Note: To discuss this, I will use the Spivak pronouns the author uses which are gender-neutral. People like Maia Kobabe have existed for centuries. But e have been labeled as “tomboys” or “butch” where are derogatory and misleading. It’s hilarious for a society such as ours that wants to censor anything and everything that revolvesContinue reading “‘Gender Queer’ Follows One Person’s Path Toward Happiness And Fulfillment”

‘Psycho II’ Is An Underrated Horror Classic After 40 Years

Note: This focus will be on horror/thrillers that have featured the LGBTQIA community and/or have themes as June is Pride Month. In Scream VI, they discuss that Psycho II is an underrated horror classic and I agree. I must admit when I first watched it back in 1980s, I missed a few things I caughtContinue reading “‘Psycho II’ Is An Underrated Horror Classic After 40 Years”

‘The Birdcage’ Spread The Wings Of LGBTQIA Humor To The Masses

When The Birdcage won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast, a good friend of mine and I weren’t too happy. We were both big Fargo fans and we wanted it to win, but it wasn’t even nominated in that category. We knew Fargo was going to get screwed over byContinue reading “‘The Birdcage’ Spread The Wings Of LGBTQIA Humor To The Masses”

‘Love & Death’ Delves Further Into Texas Homicide Case That Won’t Die

Hollywood is an incestuous industry. There’s always more than one TV show or movie following a certain premise. Disaster movies about volcanoes, comets and asteroids and biopics about Christopher Columbus and Steve Prefontaine have been making the roads for decades. And you can see similarities between plots that don’t look like they should be similarContinue reading “‘Love & Death’ Delves Further Into Texas Homicide Case That Won’t Die”

‘Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Will Steal All Your Attention

I never got into the Dungeon & Dragons role-playing game. I did watch the Saturday morning cartoon which seemed to star half the cast of Eight is Enough. But when the 2000 movie came out, I watched it one and a half times. Marlon Wayans’ role was akin to a fantasy version of Stepin FetchetContinue reading “‘Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Will Steal All Your Attention”

‘Muppets Mayhem’ Is One Heckuva Jam

I remember reading someone saying that when they went to go see The Muppets, the 2011 movie, they were looking around the theater only to discover more adults in the audience than kids. I noticed the same thing in 2007 when I saw The Simpsons movie on opening night. People grew up on the Muppets,Continue reading “‘Muppets Mayhem’ Is One Heckuva Jam”

Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. One of my peeves is when people say “Happy Memorial Day.” There’s nothing to be happy about people who were killing in action, or died as the result of their war wounds. And I’m talking about those who became addicted to alcohol or drugs to help with their pain. I’m alsoContinue reading “Please Remember Those No Longer Here This Memorial Day”

It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)

While watching a Congressional hearing where Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) asked the Democrats to remember the “decorum” of the House of Representatives as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), someone online commented it was started to appear like the British Parliamant. While I’m admit, we’re sliding into the United Kingdom’s mentality of “Not tooContinue reading “It’s Going To Be A Long Campaign Season (Ay, Dios Mio!)”
