This would’ve been a better movie than what I saw in 1992

I can also imagine the horrible, dead-cat breath Alf is breathing in Ripley.

Aliens is 35 and the header

Posted on July 2, 2021 by Steve

Aliens remains a masterpiece and James Cameron’s best movie with a real budget. The Terminator is his best with limited money, making it a semi-Indie flick. After these two, I’m not really sold on the remainder because they’re more “Wow! What effects!” which is Titanic; it … Continue reading →

In case you don’t know the difference

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Steve

I couldn’t let October completely pass without a little nod to Italian heritage. This visual joke comes courtesy of my cousin Dana. Pretty funny and accurate since there’s an old joke about us…ahem! How do you make an Italian shut … Continue reading →

RIP Iam Holm

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Steve

Ian will be remembered by me for all the support characters he provided to numerous favorite movies of mine. The duplicitous science officer Ash in Alien, the rival restaurant owner Pascal in Big Night, Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, greedy head … Continue reading →

The Predator: Streaming…at best

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Steve

Everyone’s big-game-hunting alien(s) return in the latest installment of the Predator saga. What’s new this time? Not very much other than their race can be over ten-feet tall. Shane Black takes a shot at directing and in my opinion he came … Continue reading →

RIP Bill Paxton

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Steve

What a fricking pisser to wake up to and see on the news within the first five minutes of my morning. I thought last year took away too many beloved people and now ’17 is trying to outdo ’16 by … Continue reading →

RIP: John Hurt

Posted on January 28, 2017 by Steve

A really cool actor with a solid Sci-Fi resume has passed. Now if I can still still tell the difference between John and the American actor William Hurt. John first came to my attention as the Nostrumo’s navigator Kane who was indirectly … Continue reading →

Two new crossover comics for the Summer of ’16

Posted on August 14, 2016 by Steve

It’s always exciting to see favorite characters from different owners/licensees get together! Judge Dredd works on numerous levels despite many people forgetting that it’s mostly a British parody of America’s love of violence: Dirty Harry and other unhinged, plays-by-his-own-rules cop. IDW … Continue reading →

Neat, odd and great crossover comics

Posted on November 26, 2015 by Steve

I’m back on a roll about the comic books I’ve been reading lately. I guess I’ll just have to accept that the time, inspiration and energy will happen at irregular intervals. A while back I plugged a weird, obscure crossover … Continue reading →

Get away from the Alamo you bitch!

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Steve

Alamo Slaughter had this cargo loader from Aliens in the lobby. I didn’t check to see if it’s the real thing or a replica. Either way, looks pretty close to what I remember.

Now here are some positive role models!

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Steve

I bought this design for a young lady who I want to know that women heroes (or heroines) have been kicking ass, saving the world/galaxy/human race and are in charge. Of course I have this shirt too, I grew up … Continue reading →
