Happy Fall, Y’all!

Well, the Fall Season, otherwise called Autumn, is here. Here in the Tulsa area, it still feels like summer as temperatures are expected to have highs in the 80s well into October. Here is a picture I snapped of the exterior of the BOK Center in downtown Tulsa. I’ve only been here once to seeContinue reading “Happy Fall, Y’all!”

Vaya Con Dios, Sundance Kid!

I don’t think many would argue with me that Robert Redford was one of the last of the classic legends of Hollywood. At 89 when he passed in Provo, Utah, Redford started out at a different time in Hollywood. The Hays Code still kept writers and directors from doing fully expressing themselves. But the StudioContinue reading “Vaya Con Dios, Sundance Kid!”

Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!

As a long-time Stephen King fan, I want to wish him a Happy Birthday as he turns 78 today. For a man to live the life he has and to still be kicking is a testament to perseverance. Raised in poverty mostly in rural Maine, his father left when he was two. And King andContinue reading “Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!”

Koi Pond At Gathering Place

I stopped by The Gathering Place on the western side Tulsa on the Arkansas River earlier this week. It was still too hot and I’m still getting over an illness, so I couldn’t walk around much. But I got this picture of the koi pond near the main lodge.

‘Killer Tomatoes’ Attack In Classic Horror Comedies

You have to love a movie in which the San Diego Chicken actually helps take down killer tomatoes. When the original Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was released in 1978, it seemed to be a parody of B movies from the post-WWII era as well as the “When Nature Attacks” movies that had exploded followingContinue reading “‘Killer Tomatoes’ Attack In Classic Horror Comedies”

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It

It never surprises me that the people who denounced “cancel culture” and screamed “Fuck your feelings!” have always been the most insensitive. Decades ago, it was “America: Love it or Leave it!” during the Vietnam War era. Following 9/11 as the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raged on, people screamed, “If you don’t like it,Continue reading “‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It”

‘Dangerous Animals’ Leaves A Nice Bite Of Thrills In Its Wake

Fifty years ago, Jaws was released in theaters and more or less demonized sharks. Twenty years later, conservation efforts were made as they had been put on the endangered species list as shark hunting exploded in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. However, Hollywood and other filmmakers have continued to churn out countless killerContinue reading “‘Dangerous Animals’ Leaves A Nice Bite Of Thrills In Its Wake”

Get Off Of My Cloud

I caught this image of a cloud the other day near Wagoner, Okla.

And They Still Don’t Have No Stinking Badgers!

This building in Tulsa was used in a popular movie. Can you guess the name of the movie?

The Tulsa Downtown Skyline

It may not be a big city like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta or Miami, but Tulsa has more community vibes. They call Reno, Nev. the “Biggest Little City in the World,” but I think Tulsa deserves that honor. The main roads run perpendicular north and south and east and west soContinue reading “The Tulsa Downtown Skyline”
