I have a weird brain for movies. I can remember lines and characters from movies even if I only saw them once fifteen years ago. And often when I watch movies based on historical events, especially when I’ve seen them before, I watch with a Google window open (or Bing or DuckDuckGo for those who… Continue reading Movie Connections

The Justice League Snyder Cut…
I dunno man… longer and darker is not what I’m looking for from a Superman movie… The worst thing that ever happened to WB’s efforts to bring the rest of the DC universe to llife was the unbelievable success and high quality of Nolan’s Batman trilogy. It convinced WB that what fans wanted from DC… Continue reading The Justice League Snyder Cut…
What’s wrong with the Golden Globes?
So… Tina Fey comes out before the show and promises that there will be no politics in this year’s Golden Globes broadcast… …and then the show craters to eye-popping levels of “we really don’t care about the Golden Globes anymore…” I think the solution is clear. Next year’s show practically demands a mainline injection of… Continue reading What’s wrong with the Golden Globes?
Why is that movie so great? (Westerns)
Just finished watching HIGH NOON, which I caught for about the fiftieth time on AMC. Why are Westerns so damned awesome!? They’re like pizza, even when they’re bad, they’re still pretty good. I think what appeals to us about Westerns is the way they strip away all those layers of stuff that separate modern humans… Continue reading Why is that movie so great? (Westerns)

They’re coming to lock you away ha-ha!
Are Climate Lockdowns coming next? These guys seem to think so. For my part, last Summer I predicted that this would soon be attempted here in California. I suggested to a friend that the COVID lockdows were a test case, to see how far they could push us before we would push back. I thought… Continue reading They’re coming to lock you away ha-ha!
Christopher Plummer
One of the best to ever do it. There are so many amazing scenes I could link here as a fare thee well, but I’m going with the greatest F.U. to the Nazis that any actor has ever delivered on film.
The Library of Cancelled Films
I was having lunch with Kurt Schlichter the other day (no, I am not above a little name dropping, why do you ask?) and I said something that Kurt, as brilliant as he is, said had not occured to him before. I said that when it comes to cancelling “problematic” films, Jeff Bezos has the… Continue reading The Library of Cancelled Films
