Thoughts on THE FORCE AWAKENS, episode IV: That Kid Ain’t Right
The Force Awakens review, parts one, two, and three Continuing my examination of The Force Awakens, from the standpoint of character, my stance continues to be that the film does some things well, but not all of them, and not enough. … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
When in need of musical balm, and when in doubt of where to seek it…turn to Russia. At least, that’s how it’s always been with me. There’s just something about the Russian musical character that grabs me whenever I hear … Continue reading
Thoughts on THE FORCE AWAKENS, Episode III: Poe, Rey, Me (or, the Whodats and the Waddadaywants)
The Force Awakens review, parts one and two So, if I found the basic story bones of The Force Awakens unsatisfying on a lot of levels, what about the other area where the film has been picking up major praise: its … Continue reading

It’s been fun, football, but I can’t do it anymore. I’ve been sensing this moment coming, with every single death of a former player. My enthusiasm started to wane with the suicide of Junior Seau…or maybe it was Mike Webster’s … Continue reading
Thoughts on THE FORCE AWAKENS, episode I: The Phantom Lucas
So. The Force Awakens. I liked it. A lot. I loved a lot of the things in it. But I don’t think I loved it, overall. It’s a weird thing, seeing Star Wars just keep on truckin’. I had mostly … Continue reading
The conversations I have….
I did try to tell her that shaving cream is the worst possible thing ever ever ever, but they never listen! The pie-in-the-face topic came up a bunch of times last week, which always makes me cheerful….
Lazy Linkage!
It’s been a while since I did this, hasn’t it? I am, once again, going to try to be better about regularly updating this blog. Of course, we’ve heard that before, haven’t we? :: Apparently the person who runs the … Continue reading
