This blog shall stop at nothing and stay there, bringing all undiscerning readers up to date information about significant items of interest and intrigue that will certainly be interesting to someone somewhere at sometime. I shall also try to avoid being vague.
Time to continue the journey down the rabbit hole, exploring of some of my late mother’s favorite films. Her tastes leaned more towards the classic rather than the modern, and I’m completely fine with that. Far too often we jump into the new and flashy thing with both feet and then dispose of it three minutes later …

Ah yes, time for another non-controversial choice for a movie selection! But first if you’re just jumping into this series by accident or by direction of a court order, all the best of the season to you and yours! This slew of postings started with A Charlie Brown Christmas and then National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. …
Well, kids, it has been a while, hasn’t it? Aside from work and family commitments, it has been tough to carve out some time to talk about…well, anything! So I thought I’d start up a new series idea that I will probably let flounder and eventually lose interest in, but hey, let’s give it the …

Like the sands through the hourglass, these are the films of James Bond. Hello and welcome to another installment in this ever-burdensome project. I appreciate your patience and understanding. Remember when I started this wild idea? I was just a blushing youth with my entire life ahead of me. And now? The winter of our …
Well, here we are: the sort of halfway point in this mad quest to write something relatively new every single day about every single Bond movie in order from worst to best. I know many have given up their lives in order for me to reach this point. I have no idea why they would do something …
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 …
