Generally speaking, I am not a fan of college football. One reason is the NCAA. I will give them credit for FINALLY figuring out that a playoff is a good thing. But of course, I am writing this before the games take place, so I reserve the right to complain at a later date. One […]
I got some stuff lying around, collecting dust. Most of them are half baked ideas that were abandoned, or never got past the “Hmm…” stage. Others were too short for their own post, yet longer than a tweet. So, I decided to lump some of them togther in a post, and what the result may […]
Sometime around 1987, Siskel and Ebert did a special about home video, and one of the topics discussed was letterboxing versus pan and scan. At the time, I was unfamiliar with those terms, but I had noticed that when I saw a film on television, it looked very different from how it was shown in […]
Almost fifteen months ago, I asked the question: “Is Gotham the best bad idea Warner Bros. could think of?” With hindsight comes clarity, and if I had to do it all over again, I would make one major change to that post. What would that change be? I would change the part where I called […]
I got so upset in my last post, that I lost the ability to count. So the final post, more on that in a bit, is labeled part 3. Yeah, I suck. This may not actually be the final installment in the series. (Please refer to the last sentence in the previous paragraph.) Apparently, those […]
Among all the stuff that was found on the computers at Sony Pictures was a version of the script for the next James Bond film: SPECTRE. I didn’t read the script; like I have the time. But I did read an overview. Don’t worry, I am NOT going to spoil it for you, but I […]
Usually, we have to wait for the tell-all book or a documentary to get the scoop on the behind the scenes drama that surrounds the making of a movie. If not for the hacker(s) who infiltrated Sony’s email account, it is possible that the public would have never known the details of their failure to […]
Did we really learn anything from the Sony email hack? We’ve known for years that Sony Pictures is a dysfunctional entity that keeps repeating mistakes, and fails to capitalize on their assets. The sad truth is you could hack the email account of any corporation, regardless of size, and find similar accusations of harassment, of […]
As with most of my predictions, I got the Sons of Anarchy finale totally wrong. I don’t even know why I bother sometimes. My theory is that if I can predict what is going to happen, then it isn’t a very good story. If I can’t predict the ending, then it must be pretty good. […]
I never planned on watching Sons of Anarchy–I just sort of did. The premiere episode was repeated a number of times on many of the Fox owned networks, and basically the reason I watched it was because it was on the late, lamented, Speed. I must have liked what I saw, since I stuck around […]
