I admit I love genre shows, fantasy, fantistorical, some sci-fi. What’s kind of random is how they end. Some of them are able to end on their own terms like Lost or Game of Thrones, but then you’ll get others that have a cliff-hanger season finale, but end up getting cancelled, like Alcatraz and DebrisContinue reading “Genre Shows”

A Path Forward
Let’s speak metaphorically for a moment. Our Universe is a place of extremes, both insanely hot and insanely cold. For the survivability of a planet’s habitat, it needs to be in a very slim “goldilocks zone”. The same can be said for our own weather. We can have burning summers and freezing winters. Not exactlyContinue reading “A Path Forward”

No one can take away what is always yours.
Lost Scary Opportunities
I love all the classic scary/horror movies. If you really watch the first entries in any that became a series of films, though, a couple seem to have gone way off base. Starting with Michael Myers in Halloween… The good doc played by Donald Pleasance makes it very clear there is something extremely wrong withContinue reading “Lost Scary Opportunities”
Open Arms and Pop Tarts
It’s generally a pet peeve of mine anytime a classic rock song is covered by some R&B or pop tart. They never get the inflections right, and they usually throw in that horrible R&B vocal fill, you know the one I mean, “OH-oh-oh, OH-oh-oh, OH-oh-oh”. Lzzy Hale of Halestorm pretty much nails it on anyContinue reading “Open Arms and Pop Tarts”
Digital Art
I‘m quite fond of the digital stories from the Advantasy page on Facebook. They’re fun adventure tales, sometimes a little sci-fi, sometimes romance. The period stuff is usually spot on with ladies actually wearing nylons unlike the revisionist work of Patty Jenkins’ WW1984 and Stranger Things. This, however, is period done right, from a taleContinue reading “Digital Art”
Devil in a pink dress
I got my hands on this vintage baby from the 80s! Super classy! You’ll never see me actually wearing them because if there’s one thing I’m sick of in the world it’s “look at me’ selfies that celebs take all the time. My vintage dress collection continues to grow. 🙂
Creature Features
Not all great horror is just the classic stuff. There’s some really good modern tales as well. Vampires have redeemed themselves from Twilight hell with the current season of American Horror Story and the excellent Chapelwaite. Chapelwaite is a really excellent expansion of the Stephen King short story Jerusalem’s Lot. I don’t want to spoilContinue reading “Creature Features”
Trolls gotta troll
I admit I don’t understand the vitriol in the past handful of years in so-called nerd culture. Once upon a time, it was hard to find good movies or television shows that catered to sci-fi or fantasy fans, at least of much quality. In the early 1980’s, people would eat up the likes of EmpireContinue reading “Trolls gotta troll”
A Hidden Gem
This is for you classic rock fans. Do you remember that song “Brandy” by Looking Glass? It was featured prominently in the 2nd Guardians of the Galaxy movie (great soundtracks). Kind of a one-hit wonder but a really well known one from the early 70’s. The condensed story about them is, at some point, theContinue reading “A Hidden Gem”
