Since its invention, television led to a lot of surprises. People watched Lee Harvey Oswald get murdered by Jack Ruby live on TV. Then, they saw the Challenger space shuttle explode with confusion and shock. The infamous Max Headroom signal hacking happened on Chicago stations WGN and WTTW in 1987 and there’s still no ideaContinue reading “‘Too Many Cooks’ Ten Years Later”

The ‘Candyman’ Can: Farewell To Master Of Horror Tony Todd
As is always the case with many icons of horror, they didn’t start out making horror movies. Kane Hodder was a stuntman and some of his earliest roles were in action movies like Lone Wolf McQuade or comedies like Hardbodies. Robert Englund appeared alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Stay Hungry and Kris Kristofferson and Barbra StreisandContinue reading “The ‘Candyman’ Can: Farewell To Master Of Horror Tony Todd”
A Great Day For Veterans
I want to wish all the military veterans out there a great day today. I won’t say “Happy Veterans Day” because some of them haven’t been too happy. The government for years seems to not treat them well. And it probably doesn’t help that the next Commander-In-Chief has called them “suckers” and “losers” and criticizedContinue reading “A Great Day For Veterans”
‘My Old Ass’ Is A Hallmark/Young Adult Hybrid With Lots Of F-Bombs
The marketing behind My Old Ass makes it out to be an irreverent comedy starring Aubrey Plaza as a grown woman who visits her teenage self. It’s actually a Canadian version of The Fault in Our Stars where Plaza has less than 10 minutes of screen time. Since I already mentioned that atrocious teen movieContinue reading “‘My Old Ass’ Is A Hallmark/Young Adult Hybrid With Lots Of F-Bombs”
SkasdiCon Brings In Many
For the third consecutive year, SkasdiCon was held in Tahlequah on Saturday, Nov. 9. The event is like other comic-book conventions. However, this one has a focus on Indigenous Native American arts and culture as November is Native American Heritage Month. This year the event moved from the University Center Ballroom at the Tahlequah campusContinue reading “SkasdiCon Brings In Many”
‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40
By the Fall of 1984, the slasher subgenre of horror was at the bottom of the barrel of movies. The critics hated them. Parental groups were trying to get them removed from theaters. And major studios realized they weren’t making the money they once did. Most of the movies were independently produced on the pre-soldContinue reading “‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ Turns 40”
Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been
If you believe God turned a blind eye to the massacre of young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. or Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, but initially saved Donald Trump from an assassination, then you have a God who doesn’t love, but hates and wants people to suffer more. And nowContinue reading “Trump’s Election Proves There Is No God, Nor Has There Ever Been”
‘The First Omen’ Does A Devil Of A Good Job As A Prequel
For the most part, most prequels usually never do work. We already know what’s going to happen so part of the thrill is gone. However, sometimes, it’s not just a quick cash grab. After the success of his book, Lonesome Dove, and the phenomenal miniseries, Larry McMurtry wrote and published Dead Man’s Walk showing theContinue reading “‘The First Omen’ Does A Devil Of A Good Job As A Prequel”
Don’t Boo! Vote!
I know a lot of people will be glad with this election is over. If you’re reading this and already know my politics, you know I’m hoping and confident Vice-President Kamala Harris will win. I think Donald Trump has worn out his welcome with a lot of people. In 1996, people didn’t think Bill ClintonContinue reading “Don’t Boo! Vote!”
Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right
When King of the Hill premiered in January 1997, Bill Clinton was about to be sworn in for a second time as President of the United States. The show made some jokes about Clinton, with Hank Hill locking his truck doors, when he sees he’s entered Hope, Ark., the former President’s birthplace. However, I don’tContinue reading “Hank Hill Wouldn’t Support Trump I Tell You What, As That Man Ain’t Right”
