The Post-Retirement roleplaying game

Posted on August 24, 2021 by Steve

Given that this is a game for the elderly, it still uses the First Edition rules because every class having skills and feats is too new-fangled. It also comes with a starter adventure which the characters must go on a … Continue reading →

A Quiet Place

Posted on April 18, 2020 by Steve

A Horror movie with a new twist I was willing to investigate. Quiet receiving a sequel wasn’t a surprise though, about half of all new Horror franchises do well enough to get another: Happy Death Day, SAW, Candyman, etc. I think Quiet earned … Continue reading →

Terminator: Salvation

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Steve

Why‽ Why‽ WHY‽ Why do they keep making sequels to the well-loved Terminator film from 1984‽ I haven’t seen one worth a crap, the short-lived TV show included and my complaint includes Judgment Day but Salvation really shits the bed. There’s a horrible, … Continue reading →

Spirit of 1984 should be the title

Posted on November 30, 2019 by Steve

Pretty bitchin’ homemade shirt someone had at Pinballz. A Terminator T-something, the kind without the human covering riding a luck dragon from The Neverending Story for those who don’t recognize the white creature. The wearer’s husband has good Photoshop skills so … Continue reading →

Children of Men: a cautionary tale we’re ignoring

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Steve

I think this movie did pretty poorly at the box office because Dystopian films tend to fail when they’re released between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Can’t even remember why I didn’t see it sooner but it popped up on … Continue reading →

Richard Jeni would’ve been proud

Posted on January 13, 2019 by Steve

The late comedian in the title used to a routine about a bachelor chef cooking show featuring macaroni and cheese, a staple for unmarried men. One joke was how cheap and mandatory the foodstuff was because the character purchased this … Continue reading →

War For The Planet Of The Apes: Worth Seeing

Posted on July 25, 2017 by Steve

Thus concludes the new take on how The Planet of the Apes came to be since the current team wraps it up with War. As charming as Escape, Conquest and Battle were, Rise, Dawn and War have been more satisfying along with being more likely explanations for the world turned … Continue reading →

Mad Max: Fury Road Must See

Posted on May 24, 2015 by Steve

It’s great to see this Eighties franchise return and with a vengeance. I’ve always loved Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Mad Max slow patches and all. Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome has never held up, it was a terrible preview … Continue reading →

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Worth Seeing

Posted on August 4, 2014 by Steve

I’m wondering if every horrendous Tim Burton reboot will eventually get another attempt and result in a good franchise like Apes. Probably not since all the others had little to go on beyond their original flicks. Anyway, the same team behind the … Continue reading →
