(Author’s note: This was originally written back hundreds of years ago in the lovely days of November 2014. Since Hollywood believes in bringing forth nothing new, I thought I wouldn’t either! Well, that’s not exactly true. I’ve reedited this a tad and added some pictures, which the original post didn’t have, and spiffed it up …

How I Saved Lucasfilm and Star Wars: A Primer
With all the claptrap and hoohah with Lucasfilm and Star Wars and Disney and whatever else going on, I thought that I would do what I do best: help out even though no one asked me to in the first place. Hey, no need to thank me! Just think of me as a Good Samaritan wandering out in the …

Almost Equal Sequels Part VII: Magnum Force
Yet another dismal snow-filled week in February begins. So let us gather around and warm not only the cockles of our hearts but cockles everywhere with throwing yet another wonderful sequel on the fire. The fire of appreciation that is!

This Certainly Trumps The Inauguration: A Rogue One Star Wars Story About Rogue One
Well, here we are for the first time as we were before once again. Yes, that is the way that I have decided to start this blog post commemorating the beginning of a new year by going back to the winter of 2016! And hopefully this clickbait title will drag in the readers, who will become …
The Marx of Caddyshack
One of my most favoritest films of all time is Caddyshack, which turned 40 years old last year. The version I came to love was taped from Channel 18 in Milwaukee, commercial breaks and all. But even without the occasional language and pleasant nudity, I came to enjoy this as a comedy work of art. …
Is There A Future To Get Back To?
Since we’re now into this new year of 2021, I have decided to address an issue that certainly has troubled me as I’m sure it has bothered countless thousands of millions over the past decades. What I’m about to dive into might offend some, delight others, cause hunger in a few, instill mild apathy in …
Shining Light On The Shining
Golly, now this is a fool’s errand, isn’t it? I mean, why would I even try to jump in the pool of determining what makes a successful film adaptation of a book? Or which is better and which one isn’t? One item is an extremely successful author’s original vision of the story and the other …
Almost Equal Sequels Part VI: Psycho II
Yet another week in October? That means we need to take the time to focus on the reason for the season: horror sequels that aren’t that bad! No, really! They are a delight! And thankfully, there are hundreds, if not billions of them to peruse. Again, thanks to those of you out there in the …
Almost Equal Sequels Part V: Dracula’s Daughter
Another week in October! That means we need to take the time to focus on the reason for the season: horror sequels that aren’t that bad! Oh and since you probably won’t have trick-or-treating, since the world has been taken over by the children of the town leaders in Footloose who somehow crossbred with the …

Almost Equal Sequels Part IV: Halloween II
Has it really been since July since I’ve had a blog entry? Gosh, I wish more was going on in the world today so I’d have something to irreverently comment about. I should be more responsible. This is why I could never adopt a highway. The state would see how little I would emotionally and …
