RIP Mojo Nixon nee Neill Kirby McMillan, Jr.

Dammit! Here I thought I wouldn’t have to sweat through as much awfulness this year and one of my favorite artists from college had a heart attack and died during a celebrity cruise (Outlaw Country). Given how his final hours … Continue reading

RIP Carl Weathers

What a pisser! Right before Black History Month and more episodes of The Mandalorian! Carl was a great presence on Twitter too. He didn’t shit talk, always pushed for peace and understanding. I read other obits about him and didn’t know … Continue reading

RIP Cindy Morgan

Cindy had the dual role for Gen X nerds! Firstly, she was cast as the slut character in the forever funny Caddyshack. Being that it was released in the early Eighties, that means we got to see her in the “all together” … Continue reading

Bewitched

This was possibly Nora Ephron’s worst movie after My Blue Heaven, the comical take on what Henry Hill’s life was possibly like after Goodfellas. It never should’ve been made for it is a complete waste of Michael Caine, David Alan Grier, Amy … Continue reading

By the Power of Propane!

I tell ya whut! Castle Greyskull is completely powered and heated by clean burnin’, energy efficient Propane. It is abundant in Arternia too. Now if you excuse me, I need to get back to defeatin’ my mortal enemy…no not Skeletor, … Continue reading

1993: Dazed n’ Confused debuts

I think this movie was supposed to make Richard Linklater a big deal but it tanked. For me it doesn’t help that its legacy was launching the overrated, insufferable self-proclaimed favorite son of Austin…Matthew McConaughey. Contrary to the myth, he … Continue reading

RIP: Bob Barker

Even I was formulating the easy layup joke every hack comedian was thinking. Bob died successfully without going over 100. What a life he had though! With his career hosting game shows and namely the one he was most associated … Continue reading

RIP Johnny Hardwick

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Stupid Twitter got me again. I saw the tag on the right hoping it was good news about the upcoming King of the Hill revival but no, it was the sad news on how Johnny … Continue reading

RIP Paul “Pee-wee Herman” Reubens

CRAP! I hate it when a link on Twitter leads to bad news but those bastards behind Social Media got us! Now to wait for the Fresh Air episode of when he was a guest. Paul was a very talented Comedian … Continue reading

A birthday gift to myself from Fright Rags #1

It’s an obscure little joke from Weird Al’s movie UHF. Not sure why the only reseller I’ve ever found that make this focuses on Horror but I’m good. Much like my Star Wars shirt with Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman on it, … Continue reading

RIP to Alan Arkin

One big overdue tribute to a comedy legend alongside two rather recent passings. I wanted to get them out of the way before my big 55 day tomorrow since nothing but fun, fun and happiness over the next 24 hours! … Continue reading

My co-worker/friend Jason ran into these Assholes at the San Diego Comic Convention last weekend!

I lost all my money at Biff’s and only got this lousy shirt

Fright Rags’ ears were burning today too. I was going to post this latest design I bought from them and blammo! They brought back Spatula City! I’ll probably get Wargames too due to the anniversary of it. What’s really sad is how … Continue reading

The Blackening: Must See

A new addition to my newfound enjoyment of Horror but it follows in the same foot steps as Scream and Cabin in the Woods but unlike the former, it’s good. Obviously by the cast and title, it’s turning traditional Slasher movies 90° … Continue reading

RIP Treat Williams

I know he passed away in a motorcycle accident last week but given what a heavy week was last week, I put him off with some others out of respect for our four-legged fuzzballs, still missing them. Treat was a … Continue reading
