    Review Dickens!

    I'm going to have to go with A Tale of Two Cities. Well written, fascinating time in history, and I have such a soft spot for the working class rising up and taking out the 1%.

    Review The Daemons (1971)

    I would have paid good money to see this!

    Fun THE DEVELOPMENT HELL THREAD: Where Abandoned Movie Projects Go to Die!

    It's about time. I always felt like DC dropped the ball on this one, especially in their quest to grab that Marvel box office. After Captain America: The First Avenger came out, they should have greeenlit either this property or Sgt. Rock for a film.

    Controversial Jack the Ripper

    There's a great short story by Ellison - the name of which escapes me - that involves a man who finds Lon Cheney's makeup kit, and he tries several makeups on, each one turning him into a different character. The last one he does is making himself up as Jack the Ripper, and ends up going out to...

    Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Well, apparently some folks have no taste.

    Review Cinema-Going

    This is why we can't have nice things. Some asshat conservatives always gotta go and piss on everyone's parade.

    Review The Whittaker Doctor

    I have to find a copy of that movie.

    Review On Being a Fan

    As a youngster, it both ostracized me and helped me find a community. I grew up in rural Iowa, so while everyone might like something like Star Wars, very few people read comic books, or watched Doctor Who, or anything like that. So those of us who were into those things gravitated toward each...

    Review The Crow (1994)

    Oh, well, if they're going to stay somewhat close to... Actually, T-Bird was the leader in the comic. So that's okay, I mean, it's still... Fuck me with a red hot poker. You do know that there was a comic series that you could have gone to and followed? You do know that Marvel sticks fairly...

    Controversial Did Jesus Actually Exist?

    Not necessarily, if I may play Devil's advocate. As a former Christian, now atheist, I can buy into the idea that there was a figure head who's legend grew into what became Christianity. As we know just from reading the gospels, Jesus wasn't out to start a new religion, but to break away from...

    Fun The James Bond Movies!

    Wholly inappropriate, but so damned entertaining.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I knew someone would get the reference.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    Don't miss next month's explosive issue, where we sit down with Robert Fitzhamptonshire, third man from the left in the pub scene in that one episode! "Was I on the telly? Tell ya truth, mate, I was right pissed through most of the seventies. Or was it the eighties?"

    News Daphne & Velma (2018)

    Okay, you know what? That looks...actually not terrible. It doesn't make much sense to have them as BFFs, since you never really get a sense of that in any of the incarnations, but it looks like it would be fun. Not as much fun as the Daphne and Velma video I saw on the interwebs the other day...

    Review Series 11 (2018)

    That will always be tied with this one, only because those two are the ones so closely linked to watching it as a boy. The Davison theme seemed so much cooler with its guitar.

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    If they're going to do a fourth film, this should be a definite finale. And here is my list of things to avoid: -Don't bring George Kirk back from the dead. This idea just sounds terrible, outside of a holodeck situation (they existed on ST:TAS, so it would be canon, no matter what Uncle Gene...

    Review Shadows 1975-78

    This looks fascinating. I will definitely have to check more of this out.

    Review Series 11 (2018)

    It was...yeah. Some stars, almost an acknowledgement of the time vortex, and that's about it.
