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”
Why People Love (And Hate) ‘Superman’
I’m not surprised that Superman hasn’t been the bigger blockbuster some of its Marvel movies have and that’s taking into account the latest string of misses. I think it’s fair to say that James Gunn has finally made a Superman movie that is for comic book fans, not the general public. Even if The SuicideContinue reading “Why People Love (And Hate) ‘Superman’”

I’m The Kinda Guy Who Laughs At A Funeral. Can’t Understand What I Mean?
As a human being, you’re allowed to have whatever emotions you want compared to the situation. When my stepfather passed away from cancer in 2005, he got buried in a cemetery near a church in BFE Georgia in the Appalachian foothills. Google Maps didn’t exist and the road sign had been stolen so the hearseContinue reading “I’m The Kinda Guy Who Laughs At A Funeral. Can’t Understand What I Mean?”
