Final Curtain Call For Tim Curry

Years ago, there was a meme going around that you can tell a lot about someone from what movie they most remember Tim Curry. On Aug. 25, the actor passed away more than 14 years after he suffered a life-changing stroke that left him in a wheelchair unable to walk. To condense Curry’s body ofContinue reading “Final Curtain Call For Tim Curry”

Rest In Power, Dolly!

One of the first movies I remember watching is 9 to 5, which was on HBO a lot back in the 1980s. It was Dolly Parton’s first movie role even though she had appeared on TV before. Like myself, she grew up in Appalachia even though eastern Tennessee was a lot more rural than whereContinue reading “Rest In Power, Dolly!”

We’ll Meat Again. Don’t Know Where. Don’t Know When.

As of this posting, it seems the cattle ranchers who mostly approved the re-election of the current President are beginning to question their votes. Beef prices, like everything, are high, and there’s really no optimism that they will go down anytime soon. Some ranchers are realizing the bullshit from Washington, D.C. It could be theirContinue reading “We’ll Meat Again. Don’t Know Where. Don’t Know When.”

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

I didn’t have Spider-Man (or at least a person dressed up as Spidey) punching and attacking Jake Lang in Minneapolis on my 2026 Bingo card. But here we are. People like Lang are nothing more than rabble rouser on the far-right. He’s also one of the pardoned Jan. 6 insurrection coup attempt rioters. I’m aContinue reading “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”

‘Manhunter’ At 40: The Movie That Started It All

I had never heard about Manhunter until after The Silence of the Lambs became popular and trying to debate which is better is like Alien vs. Aliens. Both movies work on their own even though they have a different director and different cast but are related. Michael Mann, directed the movie and wrote the screenplayContinue reading “‘Manhunter’ At 40: The Movie That Started It All”

We Need To Talk About Gary, Ind.

If you haven’t heard much of what’s happening in Gary, Ind., don’t be surprised. It’s been 21 years since Hurricane Katrina caused damage to New Orleans and people were left without electricity and had to seek sanctuary in the Superdome where they were sexually assaulted and forced to leave their dead relatives outside to decomposeContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Gary, Ind.”

‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ Such A Delight

On the surface Remarkably Bright Creatures is a Hallmark type of movie about people who live in a coastal town in the Pacific Northwest where they all seem to get along. It’s easy to believe the aquarium which is only a modestly sized building for a facility is able to stay open just on theContinue reading “‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ Such A Delight”

You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Vote

As America’s 250th celebration has been mostly lackluster, people should be reminded that only for 106 years, women were allowed the rights to vote. But I’m sure there was some resistance even after . The photo years ago of the current President looking over at his wife as they were about to vote should beContinue reading “You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Vote”

RIP Hayden Panettiere

I was shocked to hear of the death of Hayden Panettiere over the weekend. Even more shocking was I had watched Scream 4 earlier that day. She had played Kirby Reed in that movie as well as the sixth one. It was a long rumored fan theory that Kirby survived her injuries at the endContinue reading “RIP Hayden Panettiere”
