Let be preface this by saying that this all contains spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it, I’m going to break it all down. A movie like The Cabin in the Woods tries to do what Scream does by exposing the tropes in horror movies. It’s hard for some people who grew up with horrorContinue reading “‘The Cabin In The Woods’ Great Concept, So-So Execution”

‘Jack’s Back’ A Surprise Hitchcockian Mystery
A movie like Jack’s Back seems like your typical 1988 slasher. The plot revolves around a serial killer in the Los Angeles area who is copycatting the infamous Jack the Ripper killings that happened in 1888. The crimes are very similar to the ones in London, even happening on the exact dates 100 years apart.Continue reading “‘Jack’s Back’ A Surprise Hitchcockian Mystery”
“Being The Better Person” Is Gaslighting
Earlier today, I had to go to the local AT&T store top get a new phone. This was an unscheduled and unexpected visit but I was almost anticipating it. I had been out running some errands earlier this morning when I guess the pill bottle in my shorts pocket pressed too hard on the screenContinue reading ““Being The Better Person” Is Gaslighting”
We Should Make Birth Control Easier And Less Of A Humiliation
In a previous post, I talked about buying condoms. A box of Trojans I think cost about $10 for a box of 10. That’s about $1 for every time I want to have sex, I can prevent a woman from getting pregnant. I’m not saying I’m going to have sex with 10 women or haveContinue reading “We Should Make Birth Control Easier And Less Of A Humiliation”
‘Dug Days’ Funny, Cute Spinoff And Nice Swan Song For Ed Asner
Dug Days on Disney-Plus is a five-episode spinoff series of the movie Up that is a nice follow-up and a fitting unintentional tribune to the life of Ed Asner. There’s something about that scruffy little golden retriever Dug who was equipped with a voice collar and had an “Aw Shucks!” mentality that made him standContinue reading “‘Dug Days’ Funny, Cute Spinoff And Nice Swan Song For Ed Asner”
Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott seems to be in a pissing contest with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on who can be the biggest asshole during a time when people want real leaders. Recently, the six-weeks abortion ban bill went into law in Texas. To say that people like Abbott and the Texas legislators who proposed andContinue reading “Abortion Bills Are About Overthrowing Roe V. Wade”
Baby Steps To Remote Work And Distance Learning
Well, it seems the Delta variant of Covid-19 is going to force many workplaces and school districts to resort back to remote work and distance learning in the upcoming weeks. And I’m almost certain we’re seeing the end of the rat race over the next 15-20 years. While those who work in food service andContinue reading “Baby Steps To Remote Work And Distance Learning”
‘One Murders In The Building’ Is To Die For
I don’t listen to many podcasts. I don’t listen to any true-crime podcasts even though I know they’re very popular among many people. True-crime, itself, is a genre that is so popular all the major networks have or had weekly shows devoted to it. It’s all over the cable TV and streaming services. The popularityContinue reading “‘One Murders In The Building’ Is To Die For”
The Original ‘Candyman’ Is A Brilliant Horror Classic
I haven’t seen the recently released Candyman, but the original that was released in the Fall of 1992 is one of my favorite horror movies and an underrated classic. Written and directed by Bernard Rose based on a short story “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker, he does what Alfred Hitchcock used to do with makingContinue reading “The Original ‘Candyman’ Is A Brilliant Horror Classic”
Stopping Covid Means Stopping Bad Habits
I recently saw in the news that a high school in a nearby town has over 100 cases of Covid-19 and the district is planning on switching to distance learning. I thought we’d at least make it through September but it looks like many schools may switch to distance learning before Labor Day Weekend. ItContinue reading “Stopping Covid Means Stopping Bad Habits”
