Wow... What a saga!. Has me looking at my Pike Bros. B-10 a little cross-eyed now. I always thought that the pile in that jacket was too thick. Thought about shaving it down with an electric razor... After reading this.. perhaps just a wash would do. Back to the OP, no, that's NOT normal...
"Automat" - This is a brilliant documentary about the Horn & Hardart/Automat chains that flourished in NY City and Philadelphia from the 20's till their inevitable demise in the 90's. A semi-predictable "talking head" documentary saved by great and I mean GREAT interviews with former H&H...
"Smile" - Wow... Somewhat similar in overall theme to "It Follows" a young psychiatrist finds herself pursued by a "demon" who travels from person to person after they view the previous victim's suicide. It's an intriguing premise that is helped by outstanding performances all around. The...
Alright... alright... I'm not too vain to say it. I have absolute NO idea what you're on about. Perhaps I'm too old or too dense to "get" what you're aiming for but as my Dad used to say... "don't ask... can't git". In other words... a simpler answer please?

Don't get me wrong. I would NOT call this version of "A Christmas Carol" rubbish by any means. It's a thoughtful and well told alternative telling of the familiar tale. More if Scrooge were Jeffery Epstein than fictional. No, this story needs to be told but perhaps, not like this and...
I must be a glutton for punishment... or just plain nuts. In addition to 2019's "A Christmas Carol" I went to see "Violent Night" at the movies. This Christmas tale revolves around a Santa who's at the end of his rope. We find him drinking in a bar in England bemoaning the greediness of...
"A Christmas Carol (2019) - I caught a bit of this BBC-FX collaboration at a friends house. I was so confused and shocked by what I saw I had to go home and see it from start to finish...... Urrgh what a trial! Originally done in three parts I can't imagine how many viewers were left by the...
"Wednesday" - Netflix has decided (in their infinite wisdom) to mine the depths of old pop culture once again by providing a series based around the titular Wednesday Addams of the Addams Family show from the 60's. Updated and fleshed out we follow Wednesday as she gets expelled AGAIN from a...
"The Thing from Another World" - I gave my review of this film YEARS ago. It's one of my faves. I own four seminal 50's SciFi films. The first being the one discussed here... "Them" (the first and the best giant bug movie), "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and lastly, the original "Gojira"...
"1899" - From the same folks that gave you "Dark" on Netflix several years ago. I made it through the first season of "Dark" but that was it. I might have to go back and give that one another try. As for "1899" it's as thoroughly confusing and bewildering as "Dark" but it's pre-WWI time frame...
Well, I kinda liked "The Viewing". I've never done psychedelics but at least I got a taste of what it might be like from this tale. My fave was the last episode. A truly sad and touching ghost story... But I'm glad you saw the series. I read a lot of Lovecraft in Junior High, most if not all...
"Don't Worry Darling" - Saw this 2022 offering on Netflix last night. I've no clue about the "controversies" surrounding the two male leads and the director. I don't watch TMZ, "Inside Edition" or any such culture trash. We were just looking for a movie to watch. As for the film, think...
I never liked D.C. To me they were the "Yankees" of comicdom. I was always a Marvel Man... until I began watching "Batman- The Animated Series". As stated by many, Kevin Conroy IS the voice of the Caped Crusader from now till the earth falls off its axis. He's the only reason why I EVER viewed...
"Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities" - This Netflix show has Del Toro doing his best Rod Serling (Night Gallery) and Hitchcock impressions as he introduces 8 individual tales of horror by 8 different directors. The pieces range everywhere from classic ghost stories to Lovecraftian...
"All Quiet on the Western Front" (2022) - As a huge fan of the 1930's version of the film I went into this new version with much trepidation. The basic story stays the same.... Fresh faced High Schoolers duped via propaganda and war fever rush off to war with flowers on their lapels and songs...
"Barbarian" - This HBO Max horror film has no swords, axes or pillaging and plundering in it. It's basically a film about things NOT being as they appear. A young woman books an AirBnB in the wrong side of Detroit. After arriving on a "dark and stormy night" she finds the key gone and the...
I found the whole idea cringe worthy myself. Chuck was no saint BUT he was one of the founding fathers of what became Rock n' Roll. Well... at least it wasn't Pat Boone trying to do "Tutti Frutti".
