In his memoir Making It So Sir Patrick Stewart comments how the late Sir Ian Holm froze up from stage fright during a production of Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh. Holm went on to have an impressive career in movies and on TV. Yet, he stayed away from the stage for decades. Sometimes, even theContinue reading “Tilly Norwood: Going Too Far Or The Next Step In Entertainment?”

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Another Bug Hunt
Alien is considered one of the classics of the sci-fi/horror genre and its sequel Aliens is a well-made companion movie. How good? Even Paul Reiser’s own mother was glad that his character, Carter Burke, got what was coming to him. A third Alien movie was inevitable. Unfortunately, that was Alien 3, which almost caused DavidContinue reading “‘Alien: Earth’ Is Another Bug Hunt”
Taylor Ferry Beach
Summer may be officially over but I took these pics the other day of Taylor Ferry Beach on Fort Gibson Lake, a few miles from my house. The U.S. government under the Flood Control Act of 1941 constructed the Fort Gibson Gravity Dam a few miles north to on the Grand (Neosho) River to formContinue reading “Taylor Ferry Beach”
“I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!
Not to say that Mike Gundy didn’t have a great ride as the head coach of Oklahoma State University’s Cowboys football team, but he kinda became a joke after the Sept. 22, 2007 close win over Texas Tech. That was the day when he screamed as loud as he could, “I’m a man! I’m 40!”Continue reading ““I’m A Man! I’m 40!” Sayonara!”
Happy Birthday To The King, Stephen King, That Is!
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’”
