With a name like Gailard Sartain, you’re either going to be a southern lawyer/politician or an actor. Good thing for Sartain, he took the latter. A native of Tulsa, he started out working for the local TV station KOTV and then along with an unknown Gary Busey, they began to develop programs. This was makeContinue reading “RIP Gailard Sartain”

‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Turns 50
Earlier this year, A Minecraft Movie made a lot of noise because people are getting “too rowdy” during a scene where the audience sings along and throws popcorn at the screen. It makes me wonder what the whole purpose of the movie-going experience is supposed to be. As someone who grew up on Mystery ScienceContinue reading “‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ Turns 50”

‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival
I’ve often thought horror/thriller movies have the best poster art. At one time people used to use originality in all poster art. Look at The Exorcist, Jaws, Back to the Future, or Platoon to name a few. Now it’s just a collection of the big names who are in the cast with the position andContinue reading “‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival”

‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?
In the movie Clueless, Alicia Silverstone’s character says, “Searching for a boy in high school is about as useless as finding meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.” David Lynch passed away in January at the age of 78. And it’s almost fitting his swan song was Twin Peaks: The Return. But sometimes it’s useless toContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks: The Return’ A Fitting Resolution Or Uneven Continuation?”

‘Pee-wee As Himself’ Shows The Complex Life Of Paul Reubens
I remember where I was when I heard the allegations in 1991. My mother and I had just come back from Texas where my father had started attending the Sergeant Major Academy in El Paso. My mother took my brother and I to the eye doctor. He was 15 and I was almost 13. TheContinue reading “‘Pee-wee As Himself’ Shows The Complex Life Of Paul Reubens”
‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies
It was 35 years ago when Twin Peaks premiered on TV on ABC and just eight years ago when fans finally got some resolution with Twin Peaks: The Return. I saw some resolution because David Lynch, who passed away earlier this year, never believed in anything finite. I’ve often debated the latter part of BlueContinue reading “‘Twin Peaks’ Changed TV And Movies”
No Sympathy For Predators
In the last few days, the world lost two sexual predators. They went by the names Phil Robertson and Ed Gale. You might remember them as celebrities but they were sexual predators more or less. Robertson, the patriarch of the facade that is Duck Dynasty capitalized off the redneck craze because it was hard forContinue reading “No Sympathy For Predators”
