Velma Dinkley was supposed to be the ying to Daphne Blake’s yang. She was the book-smart, more logical one to Daphne’s All-American cheerleader preppy girl archetype. In many ways, people have said the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? modeled its characters after the characters from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. You can see theContinue reading “Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’”

The entertainment business is full of people who give off a different perception of who they are. It’s well known many actors who often play the good guys may not be so likeable in real life.

To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Gaslighting
Herschel Walker released a campaign ad this past week that really doesn’t say much. As you might have heard, the Georgie Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has a very checkered history.

‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument
The American Crime Story anthology series started out great with The People vs. O.J. Simpson and faultered with the still good The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

Louise Fletcher Made Nurse Ratched One Of Cinema’s Best Villains
Mildred Ratched, the antagonist of the Oscar-winning movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest never brandishes a gun or sword. She never orders the mass killing of innocent people.

This past week, a study from the Pew Research Center was released in which it was concluded that the numbers of those who consider themselves Christian has been shrinking for years and if the trend continues, Christians will be the minority between 2050 and 2070.

School Dress Codes Could Be Forms Of Sexual Harassment
At the last media company I worked for, one of the supervisors was terminated surprisingly to them and the rest of the company. But speculation grew it was because this supervisor made the other people in the office, particularly the women, feel uncomfortable when it came to their business casual attire.
