Month: August 2018

I caught this one on the telly the other night and it brought back waves of the nostalgia, both for the early 90s, which weren’t a particularly good time for me, as well as hearkening back to much better days, the glorious 80s, making me think of the short-lived series WEREWOLF, a show so much…

Ten years ago, the Montauk Monster set off a nationwide panic. Okay, so there was no actual panic. More like nationwide curiosity. And “monster” is probably stretching it a little. It was some kind of animal, a dead one, but not a particularly big one. And unlike the vast majority of actual monsters, this one…

Lucas Vale sat in his favorite recliner, staring at the far wall, the lights off. He could just make out the pictures there, framed photographs of his parents, his brother, one of him and Marcus with their cousin, Angela. He tried to think. He’d promised the two detectives, Brewster and Whitlow, that he’d come down…

Oversaturation is a concern, but if it applies to STRANGER THINGS it’s not anything that we’re going to have to worry about anytime soon. Possibly it will never become an issue. STAR WARS is a good example of something that is impervious to oversaturation, as if STAR TREK. Tolkien. Werewolves, vampires, and zombies. And, unfortunately,…

When I first saw this I would have put good money on it being a case of Photoshop. Turns out it’s the real thing. A gigantic tadpole they’ve named “Goliath”, with “gigantic” being a relative term and “they” being the scientists who captured and are now providing a home for the jumbo amphibian. “A look…

As of this moment (the moment I sit writing this article), we’ve just had yet another lunar eclipse, aka a “blood moon.” And once again the wannabe doomsayers (who are really the wannabe click-generators, I suspect) predicted the end of days. The same way they do with EVERY SINGLE ONE of these frickin’ eclipses. And…

After all the time spent in anticipation, all the buildup and the hype, could any movie possibly live up to my expectations? Was ANOTHER WOLFCOP worth the wait? Could it excel even its predecessor? The answers to those questions are hell yes, hell yes, and not quite, but it’s close, respectively. If you loved WOLFCOP…

Is this really news? I had thought it was kinda already common knowledge that our hirsute cousins could make fire. Technically this study only proved that they COULD have used their primitive tools to start fires, but it seems like a given to me, since it IS a known fact that Neanderthals USED fire. They’ve…

Lookah here, dammit. Not all of us can go to the San Diego Comic-Con. It isn’t fair that there’s all this “con-exclusive” stuff being offered there. What about the rest of us? We have to wait and buy it on eBay for some jacked-up price by a “flipper.” (I only this past week became familiar…

Ah, the San Diego Comic Con. For all of us who can’t go—and let’s just call a spade a spade, that’s the vast majority of us—we at least get to enjoy it somewhat by reading about it online and looking at all the photographs taken. The movie trailers released for the SDCC find their way…
