Danny Trejo

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Steve

Danny Trejo has been the designated badass in numerous movies for the last 20 years, especially when Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino needed him. They must do something special with the camera because as the picture above shows…I’m a couple … Continue reading →

Sam Jones, my favorite Flash Gordon!

Posted on September 28, 2016 by Steve

Sam Jones is best known for being Flash Gordon in the 1980 movie of the same name. He’s my favorite person to play the role because the Buster Crabbe is silly and the 2007 TV show was just plain awful. … Continue reading →

DC’s Hanna-Barbera offerings redesigned

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Steve

Suffice to say, not everything from DC is annoying reboot of their universe for the umpteenth time *cough! Rebirth**cough! Crisis something* No, someone from the executive caste in the Time Warner empire probably told the DC people to make viable … Continue reading →

Scientia est bona

Posted on September 19, 2016 by Steve

Another addition to my collection of fake school shirts. I’m not nuts about Animal House. There’s some pretty funny moments and the sitcom was surprisingly good but I’ve always found the movie to be more Boomer navel gazing over a past … Continue reading →

Ghostbusters (2016) not even worth renting

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Steve

Let me get this out of the way…I never liked the original Ghostbusters neither. It was a huge letdown from the team that gave the world funnier stuff such as Stripes, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Animal House and to a lesser extent The Blues Brothers. I laughed … Continue reading →

RIP Martin C Croker

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Steve

He provided the voices of Zorak and Moltar for Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Doctor Weird who kicked off numerous Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes. The banter he provided to make Space Ghost even more ridiculous was a huge factor in getting CN to … Continue reading →

The Amazing World of Gumball is an understatement

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Steve

One little luxury I’ve allowed myself during this stint of housesitting besides spoiling a couple cats has been binge watching this gem on Cartoon Network. Since Adventure Time and Regular Show are on hiatus (sadly, the latter will be starting its … Continue reading →

Image Comics’ Fantasy offerings

Posted on September 12, 2016 by Steve

Last month I posted a second plug for Image’s Sci-Fi offerings. With WizWorld merely days away (I have a ticket to meet Matt Smith, Karen Gillan bailed), why not cover the realm of Fantasy. Here Image is doing pretty well. OK, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 12, 2016 by Steve

Today is your day! Enjoy it and remember you’re king for a day but don’t let it go to your head little guy. Alex is the son of my Dallas-based friend Ami and the late Ben Rasberry. He’s a cool … Continue reading →

Blazing Saddles memorial show

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Steve

I’ve seen this movie several dozen times but never on the big screen. My parents did and I vaguely recall that day, we (my brother and me) were ditched at Grandma’s house for the afternoon. Alamo’s copy had been played … Continue reading →
