My aunt first told me about Blazing Saddles sometime in the 1980s but all she mentioned was the famous fart scene. A group of cowboy marauders are sitting around a campfire eating beans when one of them, Lyle (Burton Gilliam), leans over and lifts up his leg a little and lets one out. Then, theContinue reading “‘Blazing Saddles’ Turns 50”

Why People Hate Taylor And Travis (And What It Says About Our Society)
This time last year, a lot of people probably didn’t know who Travis Kelce is. He’s a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Or you may know him as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.

The Republicans Need To Finally Cut Trump Loose…Yet They Won’t
This past week, Donald J. Trump may have won the battle of the New Hampshire primaries but he’s losing the war.

The Strange Case of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard
The Gypsy Rose Blanchard case is one of the most strangest ever. Was she a cold-blooded murderer or was she just a person who didn’t see any way else out.

Oscars Have A History Of Not Nominating “Sure Things”
I remember less than 30 years ago, they were discussing how they would find five actresses to nominate for the Best Lead Actress category. In the last few years, they’ve had too many, it’s hard to limit. Last year, I though Mia Goth should’ve been nominated for Pearl and Aubrey Plaza should’ve been nominated forContinue reading “Oscars Have A History Of Not Nominating “Sure Things””
Soar High “Flyboy”
In the annals of classic horror actors, you might not expect people to know the name David Emge. He only appeared in about five movies and hasn’t appeared in a movie since 1992 Hellmaster.

God Didn’t Make Trump To Be President
As I’m writing this, it was announced a few hours earlier that Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, has suspended his campaign for President. About a year ago, he was considered the one to beat Donald Trump in the campaign. However, he has shown that he can’t be an effective leader.

‘Time Bomb Y2K’ Is Much Ado About Mostly Nothing
We are a knee-jerk society. That’s why it’s against the law in most areas to scream “Fire!” in a crowded area if there isn’t a fire. It can be very damaging. The Y2K scare wasn’t exactly that, in hind sight, I say it really didn’t amount to much but mass hysteria. As the Internet becameContinue reading “‘Time Bomb Y2K’ Is Much Ado About Mostly Nothing”
