RIP Treat Williams

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Steve

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 →

Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber) found dead

Posted on June 11, 2023 by Steve

It’s still not clear if Kaczynski killed himself or it was cancer. Either way, his death was for the best given how much he scared the hell out of people for two decades while pointing out the FBI’s continued incompetence. … Continue reading →

Rot in Hell Pat Robertson

Posted on June 8, 2023 by Steve

Another piece of shit KKKristian bites the dust who also lived too long and didn’t suffer enough. I first recall him via our cable TV in Springfield carrying his propaganda known as CBN with his bullshit. I was just a … Continue reading →

Robert Hanssen found dead

Posted on June 5, 2023 by Steve

He was found dead in his sleep today. Too bad, he should’ve suffered much more for he was mainly a piece of shit Opus Dei cultist and right-wing dirt bag. If you caught any news about this sleazy hypocrite, Hanssen … Continue reading →

RIP Frank Kozik

Posted on May 9, 2023 by Steve

Sad to find out Frank died suddenly and he wasn’t very old, a mere 61, which is somewhat early in this era. If you think those PowerComputing posters look familiar, you’re right. In the Nineties, Frank was the go-to guy … Continue reading →

Not Another Teen Movie

Posted on April 10, 2023 by Steve

From the Scary Movie team trying to make something as well-made as Airplane! and Mel Brooks’ good streak came a take on all the Teen Romance-Coming-of-Age comedies. It was also Chris Evans’ big debut before he became best known as Captain America … Continue reading →

Casino

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Steve

I really wanted to see this to scratch a mental itch and what my friends told me was pretty correct, if you’ve seen Goodfellas, there’s little reason to see Casino. It demonstrated how Marty has little right to criticize others, especially when … Continue reading →

Dilbert had overstayed its welcome anyway

Posted on March 5, 2023 by Steve

I wonder if Scott Adams will go on to be textbook a case of someone getting sucked into the Right-Wing idiocy, e.g. the Q-Anon craziness? Of course, I have no recollection or knowledge of his viewpoints back in the Nineties … Continue reading →

Mom and Dad Save the World

Posted on December 23, 2022 by Steve

This little-known comedy was part of Jon Lovitz’s short-lived career as a leading actor and I remember it briefly existing via a commercial or print ad. However, it probably tanked for being in the shadow of bigger, more successful Summer … Continue reading →

1992: Fired!

Posted on December 15, 2022 by Steve

Wow! Thirty years ago the hammer fell on me as if it were a pallet of bricks. Sadly, I had a feeling it was coming but the lecture/firing was still a punch in the throat. Matters at GDW and my … Continue reading →

Why Gestapo NPH for this month?

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Steve

It’s a nod to one of the best Satires made in the Nineties…Starship Troopers which hit theaters 25 years ago. Like most movie goers, I saw it the first time and thought, “Hmm, pretty decent Sci-Fi/Action flick. Not sure it … Continue reading →

RIP Kevin Conroy

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Steve

Sad to hear the person who was the voice of Batman for several decades passed away. Adam West put his mark on the character but Kevin really made Batman synonymous with him since he landed the role for the 1992 afternoon … Continue reading →

Rest in Peace Judy Tenuta

Posted on October 7, 2022 by Steve

Crap! We lost the giver goddess, petite flower, Diet Dr. Pepper spokesperson, accordion aficionado and all around hilarious person. I had been following her on her Twitter feed so I knew Judy was undergoing treatment for cancer. I didn’t know … Continue reading →

1992: The Cartoon Network begins! Part 1: The salad years

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Steve

Cartoon and Cable Television history were made on this day! Oddly, I was living in a market lucky enough to have it on day one. I used to feel the same way about the Sci-Fi Channel but everybody soured on … Continue reading →
