John Dies at the End

Hulu thankfully gave me a second chance to watch this incredibly well-done Horror movie written by a former Cracked writer. I knew it was going to be good because Paul Giamatti was an executive producer and probably through him the director … Continue reading

WSJ is still consistent despite Murdochs’ ownership

RIP Denny Laine and Norma Lear

Two mainstays of the Seventies when I was growing up are sadly gone. First up would be Denny who I didn’t know was a member of Wings until I was in college. I never gave much thought like a dummy, … 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

RIP Shane MacGowan

Given how hard this Shane lived, it’s amazing he made it to 65 before his liver gave out! Shane only outlived Kirsty MacColl, the woman who sang with him on the now politically incorrect Xmas fave “Fairytale of New York,” … Continue reading

Rot in Hell Henry Kissinger!

My counter the hagiography and/or massive mainstream corporate media ass-kissing of America’s biggest war criminal for the 20th Century. Kissinger easily defeated some heavy hitters before and after him: Teddy Roosevelt & Randolph Hearst for Moros Uprisings in the Philippines. … Continue reading

RIP Marty Krofft

Marty and his brother Sid were a huge part of Generation X’ Saturday mornings! This duo shook up the Hanna-Barbera-dominated landscape in the late Sixties to the late Seventies with their live-action shows. Many often starred SitCom stars such as … Continue reading

Next year is going to be the big one because it turns 50. Meanwhile, I’m pretty exhausted today and it’s taking all my energy to write this post. We didn’t spend the night in nearby Houston’s periphery, yeah, we drove … Continue reading
