Remembering Alex Kintner
Okay, I know Alex Kintner isn’t a real person. But his character died on this date, June 29, in the summer blockbuster Jaws. For years, photos have circulated online that show a darker death of the character. This is believed to be the work of Verna Fields, the film editor who won an Oscar forContinue reading “Remembering Alex Kintner”
Happy 100th Birthday, Mel Brooks!
I want to wish Mel Brooks a Happy 100th Birthday. It’s not a hyperbole to say that Brooks helped changed TV, movies and even the theater over the years with Get Smart, The Producers (both the 1967 version and the Broadway musical), Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs and so many more. As a producer himself,Continue reading “Happy 100th Birthday, Mel Brooks!”
Please Help If You Can
If you’re an animal lover, you know they’re more than pets. They’re family. They’re our furbabies. This past week, one of my friends, Brandy Jones, had to take her baby, Kobe Jack, to the vet. He’s doing better but she has a big bill. Brandy is a Navy vet so you’re be helping out aContinue reading “Please Help If You Can”
Summer Storm Leaves Damage
On Thursday, June 25, an afternoon storm in northeast Oklahoma caused some minor damage to trees and utility poles. No building damage where I live and all vehicles are ok as far as I know.

‘Bound’ Is A Brilliant Film Noir Thriller From The Wachowskis
A lot of famous directors didn’t hit it out of the park the first time. They’re still rough around the edges, handicapped by a small budget and no big name actors. But that can also be what makes their directorial debuts so wonderful. Like the Coen Brothers, the Wachowskis had a great thriller with theirContinue reading “‘Bound’ Is A Brilliant Film Noir Thriller From The Wachowskis”

World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale
While economists are saying the host cities for the World Cup might have a shortfall, I think what we’ve received in the last two weeks has been priceless. People from other countries are excited to be in America and Americans are actually excited to have them. Most of the host cities are the blue citiesContinue reading “World Cup Proves We Need To Coexist On A Global Scale”
‘Masters Of The Universe’ 1987 Flick Doesn’t Have The Power
I’m not really sure how relevant a new Masters of the Universe movie is in 2026. I don’t have kids of my own so I’m unaware of the popularity with younger audiences beyond the Skeletor meme. In the mid-1980s, He-Man and the show had reached peak popularity. In the aftermath of the success of StarContinue reading “‘Masters Of The Universe’ 1987 Flick Doesn’t Have The Power”
