RIP Diana Rigg

Posted on September 10, 2020 by Steve

Diana was one of my first boyhood crushes thanks to The Avengers reruns on CBS late night (long before they tried to compete with Johnny Carson). It was exciting and bewildering at the same time to see a lady kicking ass … Continue reading →

Posted on September 6, 2020 by Steve

Ren & Stimpy are returning too?

Posted on August 14, 2020 by Steve

Comedy Central has decided to flog this dead horse in addition to Beavis & Butt-Head. With the latter, I don’t mind, dumbasses such as those two transcend any decade (e.g. Biff from Back to the Future could be their grandfather, really). Ren & … Continue reading →

Posted on August 10, 2020 by Steve

Being able to watch The Simpsons without needing a DVD player and/or FX was a big incentive to subscribing to Disney+. However, the streaming playback sucked because they continued follow FX’s policy of zooming in on the first 22 seasons to avoid … Continue reading →

RIP Wilford Brimley

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Steve

Mostly famous for plugging Quaker Oats in the Eighties, Wilford is remembered best as being the scientist in The Thing who knew how dangerous the doppelgänger monster was. After the John Carpenter remake, I would have to go with Cocoon, the light-hearted … Continue reading →

RIP John Saxon (neé Carmine Orrico)

Posted on July 26, 2020 by Steve

My generation knows him mainly for being B-Movie royalty in such hits as Nightmare on Elm Street, Black Christmas and Battle Beyond Stars. But John was much, much more than that. He originally started out in more mainstream movies in the Fifties with … Continue reading →

RIP Carl Reiner

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Steve

So many comedy patriarchs are leaving us lately, I’m starting to feel like my grandparents who I thought were obsessed with obituaries during the Seventies and Eighties. To say Carl Reiner was a legend is an understatement. The man helped … Continue reading →

Picard: one season

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Steve

It took JJ Abrams’ cabal of mediocrity to get Patrick Stewart to play one Jean-Luc Picard again. They surprisingly pulled it off too by utilizing the power of streaming as per Discovery: more violence and swearing than allowed on the broadcast … Continue reading →

HBO Max starts today

Posted on May 27, 2020 by Steve

A new opponent enters the Streaming Wars and I have to admit HBO Max is a heavy hitter. It costs almost three times as much as Disney+ (solo) but WarnerMedia is a deeper catalog in range, quality and let’s face … Continue reading →
