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”

‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note

The irony of Star Wars fans hating the prequels 20-25 years ago is they must’ve known things were going to go from good to bad in the plots and events. The problem with The Phantom Menace is that while it’s the first of the Skywalker Saga, it shows all the crazy bureaucratic and political eventsContinue reading “‘Revenge Of The Sith’ Ends Prequel Trilogy On Bittersweet, Brilliant Note”

Revenge Of The Fifth Not Felt On ‘Star Wars’ Alums In Recent Flicks

The Star Wars movies seem to be curse that some of the main casts become typecast or never are able to achieve the same success.

‘The Force Awakens’ Is A Farce

I might be the only one who really likes The Last Jedi, mainly because it tried to take the saga in a new direction. And I don’t cream in my pants about Rogue One or Andor.

John Boyega, who played Finn in the last three Star Wars movies went on to say how racially bias the SW enterprise is. I have to agree with him. Over 10 years ago when the first trailer dropped, there was a lot of criticism over the fact that he was even in the movie. AndContinue reading “Entertainment Business Bias On Full Display A Lot Lately”

James Earl Jones Had An Impressive, Most Impressive Life And Career

I’ve always bee fascinated with actors like James Earl Jones and their difficult pasts. As a child in rural Mississippi, he had a terrible stutter. For years, he refused to talk as he was much embarrassed. Then, one day, Jones said a teacher made him read aloud.

‘The Acolyte’ Is Not Your Father’s Star Wars, So Get Over It

By now, Star Wars has become the science-fiction franchise to hate. No one really talks shit about Star Trek or Doctor Who. And let’s be honest, that first season of Star Trek: Picard wasn’t the best. And if you take all the original Star Trek movies, only half of them are any good. They usedContinue reading “‘The Acolyte’ Is Not Your Father’s Star Wars, So Get Over It”

‘The Phantom Menace’ At 25

In the history of American Cinema, very few movies have been as anticipated as Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. With the popularity of the Internet in the 1990s, more and more people began to talk about the possibility of the much-rumored prequel movies.
