When Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens premiered during the Christmas season of 2015, most people were anticipating the next level in the saga. George Lucas had sold Lucasfilms and the properties to Disney in 2012 for over $4 billion. J.J. Abrams was the writer and director and all we knew was that theContinue reading “The Failed Romance Between Poe And Finn In ‘The Force Awakens’”

He Gets Us, He Gets Us Not
The Super Bowl commercial He Gets Us sends a message that even Christians, especially the ones who were behind it, apparently don’t seem to get. One of the financial backers is the family that owns Hobby Lobby which just less than two years ago, ran a fuill-page ad calling for a Christian-run government. One commercialContinue reading “He Gets Us, He Gets Us Not”
We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)
It was 25 years ago, I sat in a movie theater in Statesboro, Ga., during the winter of 1998 watching Titanic. Young girls swooned and gasped as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack Dawson was on screen, especially when he puts on the tuxedo. And during the death scene as he is freezing to death in the icyContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Leo (And More Important What It Says About Our Society)”
Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society
I have a cousin that died as an infant. She is rarely ever discussed. She had health problems and some mental problems. If she had lived, she would have turned 40 this year. I had an aunt who committed suicide before I was born. She was hardly ever discussed and if so, it was somethingContinue reading “Why We Never Talk About Grief And Mourning In Our Society”

She’s getting better but she’s still struggling as open heart surgery is inevitable. If you could please help by donating at https://fundly.com/keep-kat-alive, we would all appreciate your support.

The Worst Day Of My Life
It’s strange how certain days that are memorable have certain familiarities to them. When I was with my ex, she got admitted to the hospital on Jan. 2, 2018 with pnuemonia and RSV. We drove to a Tulsa hospital in the middle of the night. A year later, on Jan. 2, 2019, we were backContinue reading “The Worst Day Of My Life”
Tyre Nichols’ Death Proves Law Enforcement Is Out of Control
My mom once told a story of my older brother when he was little. I don’t remember it so I must’ve been an infant/toddler. My mom had been pulled over for some traffic violations or something. I don’t know if the officer cited her or gave her a warning, but my brother was relieved. “Mom,Continue reading “Tyre Nichols’ Death Proves Law Enforcement Is Out of Control”
Why We Need The Razzies Now More Than Ever
If this was the 1980s, I wouldn’t be surprised seeing Tom Hanks nominated for two performances at the Golden Raspberry Award. Let’s face it, the man had a rough start in Hollywood appearing in mostly silly comedies like The Money Pit or Bachelor Party. And then, in a what in the blue fuck were theyContinue reading “Why We Need The Razzies Now More Than Ever”
Oscars Nominees Show Some Risks And Some Of The Same Old Same Old
The Academy Awards have always kinda been the creme of the crop of entertainment awards. That was once a glamourous achievement, but as the 20th Century neared its end, they became somewhat of a outdated concept and still continue to show its age into the 2000s. It became to look like a Chamber of CommerceContinue reading “Oscars Nominees Show Some Risks And Some Of The Same Old Same Old”
Criminal Charges Against Alec Baldwin In Film Set Shooting Could Backfire
I was surprised that the Sante Fe District Attorney’s Office in New Mexico decided to file criminal charges against Alec Baldwin for the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust. This might just be smoke and mirrors for the DA Mary Carmack-Altwies who’ll be up for re-election in 2024.Continue reading “Criminal Charges Against Alec Baldwin In Film Set Shooting Could Backfire”
