    Review The John Lennon Assassination

    Ironic, is it not? This is a man that could have benefited greatly from some sort of mental help, but slipped through the cracks, and then was able to attain a firearm and kill a man. Famous or not, a man is dead because of that. And yet, thirty-seven years later, our elected officials -...

    Fun Memorabilia

    I have a small collection of STAR WARS figures, mostly the Unleashed figures. I also have a 12; FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER that I bought at a Kay-Bee for $3 because someone cut into the side of the box when they were unloading them. I've the McFarlaine Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper figures (never...

    I remember the madballs! I had heard that they were being redone. They look awesome!

    Fun Doing anything interesting?

    [Menacing voice] Curses! Tuesday works fine. I may have to move some things around, but yeah, that's okay. I'll keep that in mind. Plus, goats make such a racket. Children are much easier to sacrifice, and they taste better, too. What, you guys don't save the sacrifice for an after ceremony...

    Fun Doing anything interesting?

    I just got caught up and THE FLASH, ARROW and LEGENDS OF TOMORROW. Now it's off to take a nap before I have to get the kids off to school tomorrow. I am also planning a trip to Walmart tomorrow. Not sure what I'm going for, just been told we're going shopping. Maybe I'll find a new superhero...

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    I love them all, but the one that was used for the late Pertwee/early Tom years is still my favorite. Probably more of a nostalgia thing, but it resonates most with me.

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    Sure, it's the same tune that was created on electronic equipment like a pre-techno dance mix back in the sixties. But over the decades, it has been rearranged, rerecorded, made more rock & roll, more orchestral, and more electronic. But which version is "your version"?

    Review The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007)

    Really good show. My favorite stories are still the ones that The Doctor appeared in, especially Smith's episodes, just to see Jo Grant again. The Seeker is right, the kids were very good. I like to think that, after her death, Luke went on to build a proto-TARDIS with K-9 and Mr. Smith's help...

    Review Doctor Who Monsters

    I found this on Hulu, and nearly watched it. After watching the trailer, I'm glad I didn't. This looks terrible. I'm certain that the idea of the "regenerated" K-9 was that kids would just make fun of the old look, and had to update it for them. Personally, I think he looks like crap. K-9...

    Review The Pertwee Doctor

    He was the James Bond Doctor. Gadgets, martial arts, a proper SMERSH villain in The Master, The Brig as M, Jo Grant as the doe eyed Bond girl (sans sex, unless you count her posing naked with a Dalek - Rawr!). He also had that professor air to him, which made you want to know and respect him. He...

    Well, my boy's 14, so maybe they'll all hit it big and we can live off of their successes.

    Review Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

    Not just TV. It happens with movies as well. There's this idea that all movie and television viewers are idiots, and we need everything spoonfed to us. There are more intelligent shows and movies that come out, but the majority isn't worth watching. This isn't to say that everything that comes...

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    Spider-Man 3. Raimi had long said that, had the franchise gone on, he would have waited on Venom for a few movies, and built the character up properly, so the story was more coherent and not rushed. The suits forced him to do the movie with him, and it failed. Superman Lives. Who hasn't heard...

    Review Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

    Alas, I have never watched Chicken Run all the way through. What I have seen was great. When my kids were still young, I put it on one night to see if it would capture their attention. Unfortunately, it didn't. I'm so glad their tastes have improved as they've gotten older. Do you know what it's...

    Review Musicals

    Unfortunately, not a reliable one. It's ingrained in them from a young age. But on the other hand, they would say the same about my rampant left wing tenancies. *sigh* Yes, it is rather cold here right now, so I'd probably go for a stout or some scotch. Or maybe a nice Irish coffee. Spritzers...

    Review Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

    I don't know if I have a favorite gag, but the movie is so great. More American comedy writers could learn some lessons from these folks.

    Review Musicals

    Oh, don't get me wrong. I know it's very much a stereotype. However, when I was in college, it was my gay roommate that got me to try out for Joseph, which I almost didn't because I didn't think I was good enough. He and another gay friend of mine used to be the guys that had no problem with the...

    Review Musicals

    For a straight man, I love musicals way too much. :emoji_relaxed: Phantom of the Opera Fiddler on the Roof (I've had the opportunity to see this done live twice, and both times it was amazing) Jesus Christ Superstar Hair Godspell RENT Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (I was actually...

    Review The Matt Smith Doctor

    It's not a great story, but it has some very fun moments. And the mom was the snotty sous chef on series one of CHEF! That last bit doesn't have anything to do with the story, but my vast knowledge of obscure Britcoms.
