In The Beginning, There Was ‘Howard The Duck’

As of this posting, Disney is being used by Scarlett Johansson over a contractual dispute because Black Widow released the movie on Disney-Plus hurting her percentage of royalties most definitely. But it was bound to happen as streaming services are becoming more popular. Could this end up being a change in SAG-AFTRA contracts? It’s aContinue reading “In The Beginning, There Was ‘Howard The Duck’”

American Exceptionalism Is Hurting Disabled People

It’s no wonder the three groups who seem to be mostly criticizing Simone Biles and her bold stance to stop competing at the Tokyo Olympics are racists, dudebros and some Boomers. I give Boomers a lot of crap, but I will say many Boomers I’ve seen are showing support. And thank you for your supportContinue reading “American Exceptionalism Is Hurting Disabled People”

‘The Lost Boys’ Defined A Generation

If you were young in the 1980s, there was one movie that is universally liked and that’s The Lost Boys. As of matter of fact, you probably can’t find a single Gen Xer who has one negative thing to say about this movie, which was released this weekend in 1987. Recently, I did a postContinue reading “‘The Lost Boys’ Defined A Generation”

It’s Not All Church Picnics And Rodeos

Let me preface this by saying, that in November of 2019, I was hired at the last minute to appear in the newly released Stillwater, but due to a transportation issue, I couldn’t make it to the set. That being said, I haven’t seen the movie yet and I like both Matt Damon as wellContinue reading “It’s Not All Church Picnics And Rodeos”

What A Twist! ‘The Village’ Is One of Shyamalan’s Best

M. Night Shyamalan has a new movie out called Old. It’s got mixed reviews. It was around this time in 1999 that his little movie The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis, fulfilling a contract obligation to avoid a massive lawsuit, stunned everyone with one of the best plot twists ever. Unfortunately, it ruined the filmmaker’sContinue reading “What A Twist! ‘The Village’ Is One of Shyamalan’s Best”

National Lampoon’s Vacation was released on this dateContinue reading “‘National Lampoon’s Vacation’ So Funny (And Sad But True) You Just Half To Laugh”

Simone Biles Is The Face Of Change To Athletics

In 1996 at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, gymnast Kerri Strug, only 18, suffered an injury to her foot, in what become now known as an unnecessary competition as they had already clinched the gold. But she was more or unless forced to do it. At that time, Simone Biles wasn’t born yet. Her motherContinue reading “Simone Biles Is The Face Of Change To Athletics”

They Only “Back The Blue” When The Blue Targets You-Know-Who

The recent testimony of the law enforcement on Capitol Hill about the attempted coup insurrection on Jan. 6 of this year proves beyond a reasonable double that crime and punishment in this country is and has been a selective biased process. DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone said that while he was giving testimony, anContinue reading “They Only “Back The Blue” When The Blue Targets You-Know-Who”

Nothing Still Compares To ‘RoboCop’

Recently, a college friend of mine and his young son, who is primary school age, had a discussion about whether to watch RoboCop, the one and original. (I’ve yet to see that remake that came out many years ago. And I have no desire to anytime soon.) Released in mid to late July 1987, theContinue reading “Nothing Still Compares To ‘RoboCop’”
