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.
Die Hard is one of those rare things in nature. Rarer than a hen’s tooth. More rarer than a unicorn. Even more rarer than a Sasquatch riding a unicorn with a hen’s tooth in its innate rareness. No, my friends, enemies, and barely tolerated minor acquaintances at best, Die Hard is one of those rare …

Franchises are not always obvious. Who knew that taking the framework of 1958’s It: The Terror Beyond Space while mixing in some HR Giger artwork and then coating everything with KY jelly would result in such a hit with audiences? But there was 20th Century Fox, suddenly sitting pretty with Alien’s sizeable box office returns …
***EDITOR’S NOTE: As I lazily transcribe and repurpose older posts from my former disused blog in a flailing effort to maintain relevance, I thank you all for sticking with me over these many years!

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the waters of blogging…I decided to take a refreshing splash and jumped right in! The world of sequels is blessedly never-ending and now with summer coming oppressively at us, the luscious land of blockbusters beckons from the deep! So since this entry can’t stay …
Ye gods, it has been a terrifically long time, hasn’t it? I feel like I’ve finally awoken from hibernation as I make the long journey to Jupiter’s moons, I tell you!

Being a parent, such as I am, I’m always intrigued when my children latch onto a new interest.

It isn’t easy to keep the fires burning, warding off the …

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Since nothing new of any real note has come out into theaters, I thought I would dive back into the well once more to drag out some thoughts on a movie that I was dragged to by my wife over 3 years ago. This movie was so incredibly successful that to date, they …
***Author’s Note: Yes, this should have come out on May 4th, but due to my laziness, I missed the mark. Sounds like I would be perfect for a job at Lucasfilm! Oh, but I kid! Well, not really. But I do. Sorta. Anyway, here are some reedited reactions from my seeing the Episode IX in …

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 …
