RIP: Rutger Hauer

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Steve

 Another Sci-Fi and Fantasy icon lost. Rutger was really the actor who made Blade Runner the memorable movie it was since Harrison Ford was just phoning it in. The film’s surprise ending with Roy’s speech is one of Sci-Fi’s greatest moments … Continue reading →

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Worth Seeing

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Steve

After a huge event movie (Aftermath) bringing 11 years of story to a close, one would think the trivial adventures and personal life of Spider-Man would be a letdown. Not so, Kevin Feige brilliantly found a way to give the … Continue reading →

Toy Story 4: Must See

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Steve

The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story … Continue reading →

A mash-up of THREE things!

Posted on July 7, 2019 by Steve

First funny shirt spotted this weekend at Brick Fiesta Austin. It’s so hilarious at numerous levels given how sweet LeVar Burton/Geordi LaForge are.

Brightburn: Worth Seeing!

Posted on July 6, 2019 by Steve

An unusual combination of a Superhero origin story that transforms into a Horror movie. Not an easy feat but the people behind it succeed. Be warned, it did get pretty gruesome in how the victims meet their grisly fates. The … Continue reading →

RIP Arte Johnson

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Steve

What an awesome, long life and career Arte had! To my parents, he a writer and bit player on Laugh-In (a show that hasn’t aged well alongside SNL). To me Arte was a cartoon voice on a handful of Seventies Saturday Morning shows … Continue reading →

Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Steve

For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading →

Rock & Rule

Posted on June 25, 2019 by Steve

Couldn’t pass up this Weird Wednesday offering at Alamo South Lamar since it’s a huge favorite of Somara’s. She has it on DVD somewhere too but with this being a Canadian movie with a tragic history, it was exciting to … Continue reading →

The Wandering Earth or 流浪的地球: 掷骰子

Posted on June 19, 2019 by Steve

While Endgame and Captain Marvel tally up as the biggest globally grossing movies of 2019, this Chinese attempt at mainstream Science Fiction/Disaster Porn is in third place thanks to China buying 99% of the tickets; it’s not market size, it’s the limited … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2019 by Steve

Jordan Peele’s second Horror flick which had its world premiere at SXSW, translation, unless you were an asshole with a SCLM badge, you weren’t allowed to see it until it theaters. SXSW doesn’t concern me anyway, I just regret not … Continue reading →

Hellboy (reboot): Don’t Bother

Posted on June 9, 2019 by Steve

Another reboot stink burger from the morons who thought there was a way resurrect this property after two previous, unimpressive duds from a director who went on to do much better work I loved (Pacific Rim readily comes to mind). I … Continue reading →

Now a mash-up of MST3K’s fave target & the Avengers

Posted on June 8, 2019 by Steve

If you don’t get it right away, it’s OK, few people are genuine “Misties” (diehards of MST3K). What you’re seeing is Thanos: The Hands of Fate, a synthesis of the Marvel villain Thanos from the hit movies Infinity War and Endgame and a favorite … Continue reading →

Avengers: Endgame: Must See

Posted on June 7, 2019 by Steve

It’s safe to finally discuss Endgame since I think the Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer revealed a major spoiler. So far I have to say, it was quite a perfect, climatic ending to a string of 20-plus movies spanning over 11 years; even bigger … Continue reading →

Another great cast member of The Carol Burnett Show has passed away but when I was a kid he was also a staple of the Disney movies I saw, Gus, The Shaggy DA and the Apple Dumpling Gang with Don Knotts. I had to … Continue reading →
