‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise

I never did watch a Girls Gone Wild video. They were everywhere back when I was in my early 20s. You’d see the promo commercials late at night which looked like nothing more than young women on Spring Break or night clubs showing their breasts and maybe their butts all the time. But how muchContinue reading “‘Girls Gone Wild’ Documentary Explores Dark History Behind Video Franchise”

No Sympathies For Those Who Weren’t Sympathetic To Others

About 20 years ago, Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning were in the second adaptation of Man on Fire, directed by Tony Scott, known for making high-octane action thrillers. The movie was based on a book published in 1980 written by British novelist Philip Nicholson under the pen name A.J. Quinnell. The writer was inspired byContinue reading “No Sympathies For Those Who Weren’t Sympathetic To Others”

Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Political Hypocrisy Choo-Choo?

I’m going to be honest. I don’t care that President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter. Considering that Donald Trump pardoned that evil son of a bitch Crazy Joe Arpaio, who at 92 is still fucking alive, the Republican Party doesn’t have any leg of common decency to stand on any more.. Do they forgetContinue reading “Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Political Hypocrisy Choo-Choo?”

Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves

The older I get the more and more I’m convinced women hate each other. Not all of them. Yet if there is any possibility of competition, they will find a way to one-up each other. But I’m going to suggest (not explain) why I think this happens. From the moment they’re born, little girls areContinue reading “Sisters Aren’t Doin’ It For Themselves”

The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World

Maybe if the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight had occurred over the summer like it was originally scheduled, it might have seem more thrilling. But I felt like it was a dud. Also, coming as it does about 10 days after the election of Donald Trump, it seems to be really anti-climatic. There seems to beContinue reading “The Fight That Was Slow-Streamed Around The World”

‘Fight Night’ Goes The Distance But Falls Short Of A Knockout

Kevin Hart is one of those actors who seems to work mostly when he’s in comedic roles. However, he’s been wanting to branch out in more serious roles lately. I haven’t seen him in Lift but I heard he’s miscast. And that’s part of the problem with Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, a limitedContinue reading “‘Fight Night’ Goes The Distance But Falls Short Of A Knockout”

Fake It Till You Make It

I’ve never had to work in the food service industry. I have had to clean up shit that was on the floor. And it wasn’t mine. It was human excrement. The summer of 1998 I got a job bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. Now, this town produced someContinue reading “Fake It Till You Make It”

Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?

Ok, the headline above does exactly rhyme but you know what? It doesn’t matter because I saw it’s so. (I mean, I’m from the South. You ought to hear what we’ve done to the English language. And yet they get mad about people speaking Spanish.) That’s basically how things have been for well over 20Continue reading “Misinformation Station, How Do You Ration?”

‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?

Now that the Menendez Brothers have been thrusted into the spotlight once again with the show Monsters on Netflix, there’s a brief mention of this book. And anyone who is a true-crime buff will like to read or more importantly listen to the audiobook. But anyone else will junk it as garbage. I admit, LyleContinue reading “‘Private Diary Of Lyle Menendez’ The Mind Of A Sociopath Or A Manchild?”

Please Help Hurricane Relief If You Can

As the last remnants of Hurricane Helene dissipate, I can consider myself lucky. Not lucky that I’m about a good 1,000 miles from the major damage, but lucky I’m not on the road right now because a friend or family member was seriously hurt or died. As of this posting, CNN is reporting there areContinue reading “Please Help Hurricane Relief If You Can”
