The King of Comedy
Before he became the grumpy grandpa who bitches about Marvel movies while all he does lately are Mafia flicks, Scorsese used to make other stuff such as this. When it was first released in 1983, it tanked! The movie cost … Continue reading
1963: Hotline between the USSR and US established
In light of how close the world came to Nuclear Armageddon over Cuba, this was set up to have the two super powers communicate before before they kill everybody. Contrary to the movies, namely Failsafe, it was never a hotline nor … Continue reading
Blue Moon tomorrow!
No, no, not the tasty beer that’s a decent surrogate when I cannot get Celis White. It’s the uncommon event of when we have two full moons in the same month. One day I’ll get off my butt to find … Continue reading
RIP: Arleen Sorkin
Sad to see two key voices in Batman’s animated resurgence pass. First, Kevin Conroy, probably one of the three best Batman voices (Adam West and Diedrich Bader). Now we lost the first Harley Quinn. I knew the Joker’s number one … 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

Agamemnon is making more progress than I am!
What is it with him? Aggie has some kind of cat-risma with kittens! They seem to trust him despite all the food I lure them with, I can’t get them to approach me. The two little sisters stop being skittish … Continue reading
Good thing Jesus was a carpenter…
…because he was a lousy plumber!
The hottest ticket/show in Austin right now
I’m not sure if this is receiving much national attention. Probably not, a different shit bird with even more legal problems is sucking up all the Oxygen. Fear not, Paxton was the AG candidate endorsed by Girth Vader after JEB’s … Continue reading
Valley Girl: 40 years later and not as bad as I feared
I remember this movie when it was released in 1983 and it just made me roll my eyes due to its title…Valley Girl. Hollywood was trying to cash in on a dead fad created by Zappa’s 1982 hit single but … Continue reading
RIP John Warnock
Someone I admire, too late obviously, because he made personal computers useful to the masses, not just the hobbyists, the diehards (my father) and what my main complaint was about them…they were a solution in search of a problem. Warnock … Continue reading

1970s: New from Flesher Price!
I still probably would’ve preferred having the Star Wars version of this toy from Kenner because it was a loop of the battle involving the Falcon trying to escape from four TIEs. But given how low brow the Seventies could be, this … Continue reading
Florida Man lacks self-awareness
It’s nice to see that this professional Fascist is crashing and burning before he gets to the Milwaukee debate nobody wanted. Meatball Ron can join the likes of other failures JEB, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Mike Bloomberg and the asshole … Continue reading
Salem is a standard cat!
After 60 years, Salem finally wakes Sabrina the same way all cats have done to the human race since the day the moved in! Click on the strip to expand to its real size. In my home, we call this…the … Continue reading

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
Now I’m catching up on my streaming queue since I ended my monthly Alamo Drafthouse pass; I promise you and them I will be renewing it when money and time allow, aka, when there’s a string of movies close together … Continue reading
1973: The original Westworld is great but this author is off base
The awesome B movie that spawned an insipid sequel (the goofy Futureworld) and two TV shows (one dumb and the other disappointing after two seasons), debuted around 50 years ago. I saw the trailer before sitting through Fantasia as a … Continue reading
