No White People?

Italians Aren’t White Again?

And I suppose it's time for the Jewish people to not be white too. At least until we need them to be, right? I saw this on Facebook, and it just kind of set me off. Firstly, there are Romans in there, and no indication that they are other than Italians. There are...

Book of Boba Fett

Book of Boba Fett

I was all kinds of excited when this was being teased. And grew less excited, then less interested, every time I saw a new commercial. And it never ended, so I didn't bother watching. After all, Boba Fett was always a problem - he was the living epitome of someone...

Sadly Missing The Plot Over Politics

Sadly Missing The Plot Over Politics

A friend on Twitter linked to a thread on movies that, I think, is trying to make the point that many beloved 'conservative' movies are actually 'woke'. And...well...it reads like the comments in those 'explain a plot badly' memes....

Snyder’s Justice League: Epic or Just A League?

Snyder’s Justice League: Epic or Just A League?

In 1990 Marvel's What The --?! parodied a fight between the Justice League and the Avengers. It was silly, and I quite enjoyed it. In a world where we have not one by two very different, but also very similar, Justice League movies, I figured we could combine them,...

Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman 1984

As my friend Matt posted, Wonder Woman 1984 was definitely a movie. No question about that. There is, however, a real question about how good it was. And that is a truly self-contradictory answer. So, to reexplain, I recently decided to rate movies based on one main...

Star Trek Discovery, Season 1: Better than Mediocre

I finally broke down and started watching Discovery. And...it's not great. There is a lot to pick apart, and a lot of...let's call them unforced errors. And finally, it suffers from a serious flaw - the creators and showrunners think they are far more clever than they...

Paranormal TV: An Increase in Weirdness?

Paranormal TV: An Increase in Weirdness?

This is an odd topic to look at - weirdness. What do I mean, and how do I come the the conclusion that it is 'increasing'? This was a question I started wondering about when I noticed the proliferation of paranormal shows. And while I am prone to mock them -...

Day 90: How Has It Been Three Months Of This Already?

Day 90. June 15th. When I planned this piece, the biggest story in the country was COVID-19. Then Memorial Day weekend happened, and that’s not the case. I won’t opine here about the death of George Floyd, and the events that flowed from his death. This is a COVID...

Day 43: April Won’t Be The Cruelest Month

Day 43. I hoped to not get this high. If we hit triple digits...well, that will be a in world I don't think we will be able to fully understand. I am still working, as is Tammy. I'm at the dining room table, she works in a hospital lab. Neither of us is sick, that we...
