    Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    I shouldn't be that way. He played the part accordingly. And while I haven't seen many of his films (I would like to see Drive), what I have seen of his work leaves much to be desired, at least for me. I will be big about it and give him a fair shake. That's why I was apprehensive about this...

    Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    My son and I just got back from seeing this, and I rather enjoyed it. He loved it, but I don't know that I can go that far, not without a few more viewings. It is long, but it doesn't feel that long. The story is pretty solid, the acting is really good, and it's stunning to look at. It's just a...

    Review F Troop and Hogan's Heroes and Jeannie

    I don't remember every having watched F Troop, or if I did, it wasn't memorable. Hogan's Heroes, however, I still love. As you say, no belly laughs, but still pretty danged funny.

    Review The Dukes of Hazzard (1979 - 1985)

    I remember loving this show as a kid. A while back it was on, and I sat down to watch some of it. A couple of minutes in, and I ended up changing the channel. It didn't resonate the same way with me that it did with young me. But then, young me thought that Knight Rider was quality television...

    I didn't claw my way out of Hell to be called Human! Take it back, before I place a terrible something upon you!

    What's wrong with "easy"? People are so thin skinned.

    Information My Close Call!

    Sorry to hear about that. I was actually hit by a vehicle once, and had many close calls. I have become all too aware that drivers must get their licences from Cracker Jack boxes, because things like right of way, watching fro pedestrians, and slowing down at intersections are non-existent in...

    Review Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

    I have watched this movie once, and I learned that I wasn't the intended audience. I shouldn't be so caustic in my appraisal of the film, but I have heard people try to tell me how I'm in the wrong for disliking it, and it doesn't resonate with me. But then, I believe that Plan 9 From Outer...

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    Nothing is irreparable. The issue is that the powers-that-be (not those guys from Angel) refuse to listen to what the fans want. Trekkers want actual sci-fi, with thought provoking dialogue and commentary on society. Sure, give us some action. But you know what's funny about that? If you asked...

    Review Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

    Well, I think they explained the problem right there. It was right wing. That's not what Star Trek was supposed to be. It was about progressing humankind further, not placing us back centuries.

    Review The Exorcist (2016)

    I'm glad you said this. I'll wait to watch it, then. Maybe it will get better.

    Review Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (1969)

    I loved that book as a kid! The last story in the book, "What Was I Scared Of?", about these green pants with nobody inside them, freaked me out.

    It would explain the beard.

    Review The Koran

    It supports slavery, misogyny, murder, genocide, fratricide, incest... No, wait. That was the Bible. Um, never mind.

    Review ASMR

    I tried to watch an ASMR video that was a comic book discussion. I got through about a minute of it and clicked on another video. There were a couple of other talking ones I tried, but they just pissed me off. I might try the sound ones, but the talking ones annoy me. I'm certain that it has...

    Review Dark Shadows (1966)

    While I can't claim to have seen every episode of the original soap, it is a brilliant - if at times campy - show in the horror trope. Certainly a soap opera, but with the supernatural angle which makes it very interesting. Originally, Barnabas wasn't to stay very long, but the character proved...

    Fun Star Trek: The Original Series

    Steve Perry wrote and/or co-wrote some of my favorite books in the Star Wars Legends. I'd like to check out that book.

    Fun Star Trek: The Animated Series

    Thanks, @Doctor Omega! That was the interview I had watched, and couldn't remember correctly. Yes, the animators truly missed an opportunity with that series.

    Fun Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

    Someone in the YouTube comments said this sort of thing always happens with her - the running of the mouth - and they said the looks on the cast members' faces simply said "Oh, lord, here she goes again". I'm glad Gates stood her ground on the issue, and Marina's passive aggressive "Oh, sorry...
