As a long-time Stephen King fan, I want to wish him a Happy Birthday as he turns 78 today. For a man to live the life he has and to still be kicking is a testament to perseverance. Raised in poverty mostly in rural Maine, his father left when he was two. And King andContinue reading “Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!”

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It
It never surprises me that the people who denounced “cancel culture” and screamed “Fuck your feelings!” have always been the most insensitive. Decades ago, it was “America: Love it or Leave it!” during the Vietnam War era. Following 9/11 as the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raged on, people screamed, “If you don’t like it,Continue reading “‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ May Still Have Some Life Left In It”
Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!
As a supporter of the LGBTQIA community, I don’t believe that homosexuality is a choice. Yet, so far this month, I can can understand why some men decide just to be with other men. If there weas a Bang, Smash, Dash consisting of Kendra Licari, Phillies Karen, and Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, most men wouldContinue reading “Bish Be Trippin’ All Da Time, Mah!”
‘Smoke’ Gets Lost In Absurd Cloud
AppleTV seems to be the go-to streaming service for TV shows and limited series now. For a while HBO held that glory but the emergence of streaming led to Netflix briefly having the honor. But the executives there decide it was best to cancel shows people liked. Now, it’s cyclical. I still think HBO MaxContinue reading “‘Smoke’ Gets Lost In Absurd Cloud”
Rest In Power, Graham Greene
Graham Greene was 37 when he was cast in the role that would forever change his life and career. He had been acting in a few small roles on the TV and in movies. Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ohsweken, Ontario, he had been acting since his early 20s. But in 1989, heContinue reading “Rest In Power, Graham Greene”
‘Fit For TV’ Gets The Skinny On ‘The Biggest Loser’
I watched about five minutes of The Biggest Loser during its entire run. I forgot when it was but I noticed that awful person Jillian Micheals with her flaring nostrils and bitchy attitude was berating an obese woman doing a dangerous exercise even for fit people. Normally, I never did care for reality TV orContinue reading “‘Fit For TV’ Gets The Skinny On ‘The Biggest Loser’”
‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years
When King of the Hill premiered in the late 1990s, it seemed to be a subtle satire of small-town Americana during the era. But while South Park and The Simpsons made episodes to echo the changing world in the aftermath of 9/11, King of the Hill seemed to be stuck. It didn’t help matters thatContinue reading “‘King Of The Hill’ Climbs Back To The Top Of Its Glory Years”
‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century
The latest adaptation of The War of the Worlds is as terrible as you’ve heard. I think the best comment was when someone online said it should’ve been an e-mail. It sucks that H.G. Wells’ book fell into the public domain because his estate should sue the filmmakers. If you thought the 1996 version ofContinue reading “‘War Of The Worlds’ Is The ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Of The 21st Century”
We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology
I’m in no hurry to see Freakier Friday. I just watched the original one the other day for the first time in 20 years. Over the years, the actress/singer took a lot of shit for what people said and did. I’d argue the whole thing with Georgia Rule and her partying was just a PRContinue reading “We Owe Lindsay Lohan An Apology”
Fly To The Moon, Captain Jim Lovell!
There’s a scene in the movie Apollo 13 that people can relate to and it shows how Tom Hanks does better by doing less. Yes, he had won back-to-back Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, but his role as Capt. Jim Lovell, with the U.S. Navy who was also an astronaut is a flashy roleContinue reading “Fly To The Moon, Captain Jim Lovell!”
