There’s an old saying, “What’s the answer to 99 of the 100 most asked questions? Money. God is the answer to the other question.” It’s been over 20 years since the Montreal Expos played their last game and the franchise relocated to the Washington, D.C. area and became the Washington Nationals. It’s almost fitting thisContinue reading “‘Who Killed The Montreal Expos?’ Point The Finger At Money”

Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’
I have to hand it to Eli Roth. I’ve not liked a lot of his movies and think he’s way too full of himself a lot of times just like his one of his collaborators, Quentin Tarantino. But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!
Today is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and that’s the only birthday that really counts today. (Ok, maybe someone out there reading this has a special day and I say, Happy Birthday to you!) But let’s not forget the reason we needed to form a national army in the first place. The AmericanContinue reading “Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!”
‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival
I’ve often thought horror/thriller movies have the best poster art. At one time people used to use originality in all poster art. Look at The Exorcist, Jaws, Back to the Future, or Platoon to name a few. Now it’s just a collection of the big names who are in the cast with the position andContinue reading “‘What Keeps You Alive’ Has A Plot That Is Dead On Arrival”
Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press
Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”
South Park’s Mockery Of Canada Seems More Timely With Classic Episode, Guy
Almost from the beginning of their run, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone seemed to have been poking fun of Canada in one form or another. They had Canadians Terrence and Phillip who were popular with the South Park children for their constant flatulence. This led to one of their most controversial episodesContinue reading “South Park’s Mockery Of Canada Seems More Timely With Classic Episode, Guy”
What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?
I’m hardly on X or Twitter (or Shitter) as I’ve heard it be called now. But comedian and transgender model Stacy Cay posed a good question – What did people in this country think would happen? This past weekend, Donald Trump ordered tariffs placed on Canada, China and Mexico using the illegal spread of fentanylContinue reading “What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?”
‘In A Violent Nature’ Is A Polished Turd
Former President Barack Obama once said, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.” Despite criticism that he was mocking former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin who was John McCain’s running mate in 2008, it’s actually a version of an idiom coined in the 20th Century. A similar idiom is “You can’tContinue reading “‘In A Violent Nature’ Is A Polished Turd”
‘It’s A Wonderful Knife’ Slices Just Right
During the last 80 years, It’s a Wonderful Life went from being a box-office disaster to one of the most cherished Christmas holiday movies. The final collaboration between director Frank Capra and actor Jimmy Stewart didn’t really sit well with audiences in the post-WWII era. The movie barely broke even at the box office andContinue reading “‘It’s A Wonderful Knife’ Slices Just Right”
‘Under The Bridge’ A Horrifying Look At A Teenage Wasteland
What remains so fascinating about the murder of Reena Virk in 1997 is that it opened people’s eyes to the evils that young women can do. Even worse, those who had participated in her murder came from such varied backgrounds. There’s always been Mean Girls even before Tina Fey brought the phrase to the AmericanContinue reading “‘Under The Bridge’ A Horrifying Look At A Teenage Wasteland”
