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”

‘Case Of Natalia Grace’ Keeps Getting Curiouser And Curiouser
I had heard of the case of Natalia Grace a long time ago, but I had forgotten about it. It is disturbing in so many ways it makes your skin crawl. Natalia is a Ukrainian-born woman who doesn’t even know how old she is. Some people say she was born in 2003. The State ofContinue reading “‘Case Of Natalia Grace’ Keeps Getting Curiouser And Curiouser”
‘Echo’ Still Resonates Despite Flaws
For the past few years, just about every MCU installment could’ve been critiqued with the phrase, “Well, it could’ve been worse.” Who knows what Kevin Feige and Disney had in mind before this time four years ago when Covid-19 started to make headlines. A worldwide pandemic for the first time in about 100 years andContinue reading “‘Echo’ Still Resonates Despite Flaws”
‘House Of Usher’ Falls Under The Weight Of Its Own Execution
I’ve loved Edgar Allen Poe ever since I was a kid. Lately, he’s gotten a little bit of a renaissance with the adaptation of The Lighthouse and being a main character in The Pale Blue Eyes. And Sylvester Stallone has even been working in recent years to get a biopic made. Actually, he’s been workingContinue reading “‘House Of Usher’ Falls Under The Weight Of Its Own Execution”
‘Fargo’ Is The Show To Watch
I never really caught on with the TV anthology show Fargo initially. I missed the first two seasons but started to watch the third when I recognized the cast of Ewan McGregor (in dual roles), Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Carrie Coon. It was a pretty good season but I really didn’t have any interest inContinue reading “‘Fargo’ Is The Show To Watch”
And On Earth Peace
It’s one of those stories that you never hear about even though it’s been recanted by President Reagan, Reader’s Digest and featured on Unsolved Mysteries. Maybe the reason it hasn’t been made into a movie is that it’s just a story of several people coming together to have a dinner. But when you think aboutContinue reading “And On Earth Peace”
Christmas Shows Were Never The Same
Most TV shows revolving around Christmas had to have some time of goody-goody golly-jolly theme to them. Even The Twilight Zone and Amazing Stories had holiday-themed episodes but they still tried to tell a story with a moral to them. And by the time the 1980s rolled around, most Christmas-themed shows were hokey with storiesContinue reading “Christmas Shows Were Never The Same”
The Absolute Worst, Most Despicable Christmas Commercial Ever
Christmas is a time where many advertisements and commercials air all over the spectrum. With streaming and people paying more so they don’t have to see commercials anymore, they’re not as popular.. I don’t know why Starz thought showing that same BMF commercial with Russell Hornsby playing a father berating his father for “looking proper”Continue reading “The Absolute Worst, Most Despicable Christmas Commercial Ever”
‘Mickey’s Christmas Carol’ Turns 40
Disney has done two feature movies of the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. One featured the Muppets and Sir Michael Caine and it’s loved by many. The other featured Jim Carrey as Ebeneezer Scrooge and directed by Robert Zemeckis during his three-dimensional digital animation phase and is considered by some to be too scaryContinue reading “‘Mickey’s Christmas Carol’ Turns 40”
Yes, Virgnia, There Is An Awkward ‘Alf’ Christmas Special
In the late 1980s, Alf was one of the most popular TV shows of the time. Now, that we know what it was like on set, it’s hard to watch those old episodes without realizing everyone probably fucking hated it. Even Jerry Stahl, one of the writers, was shooting up heroin on a daily basis.Continue reading “Yes, Virgnia, There Is An Awkward ‘Alf’ Christmas Special”
