O Wow Whippee!
Things Once Seen, Never Unseen
So, in my current status of At Liberty, it is my job to pick up The Boy from school at 3:00. This is the same school my wife runs, but by removing The Boy from those environs, it gives her a bit of peace as she stays after school and continues her quest to work [...]
Scarecrow, Scarecrooooooow…
I’ve had this song running through my head for the last month. Your turn. Rest In Peace, Mr. McGoohan. You done good.
Tough Week
Well, it was a rough month plus for aging fanboys like me. Back in December we lost Forrest J. Ackerman, Bettie Page, Beverly Garland, Eartha Kitt. For the theatrically minded, there was Harold Pinter and Dale Wasserman. Probably several more that slip my mind. Sorry. So this week, thus far: Ricardo Montalban and Patrick McGoohan. [...]
More Stuff Myself and Three Other People Care About
Well, I really should do something beside read, apply for jobs I’ll never get, play Chrono Trigger (thank you, Santa Wifey) and try to get interested in watching a movie for review. I know, I’ll write in that blog I started once upon a time, knowing that it was a mistake then. Reading, of course, [...]
Old, old, old
While doing research for 50 Foot DVD, on the long-gone vistas of 1967, I started thinking about a few things that had some impact on the then ten-year-old me. Of course, YouTube has it: Yes, I owned a toy sniper rifle in its own case. There was a lot of incredibly un-fun crap going on [...]
Filmnerd Attack, Film at 11
After Return of the King, I found myself unable to face another 3 1/2 hour plus movie; apparently I’m getting old. Luckily, Seven Samurai comes with a pre-planned, even necessary intermission, which provides a good place to break for the night and return for the second half. As I said earlier, I think it’s been [...]
Welcome to my childhood
You know, every now and then, you’re on YouTube and you decide to look for the crap you used to watch when you were a kid. To this day, that music is embedded in my skull. I’m currently watching the recently-released New Adventures of Superman for review – created in 1966 to capitalize on Batmania, [...]

Santo Gold
Chris over at Blue Glow posted some vintage infomercial-type strangeness about “The Family Auto Mart“, which caused my brain, unbidden, to dwell upon some some crap that played in the background while I was working late nights on the third draft of Forever Evil: Yep, it went on for a full half-hour. I am constantly [...]
