I saw Hereditary yesterday. It was a 1:10 showing and about a handful of people where there. One was a child – a girl I think – maybe 13ish. She was sitting behind me and, as far as I know, watched the whole thing. This was my third movie I’ve treated myself to in the… Read more

There’s this odd phenomena happening. From my limited observations, this could be a global issue. All I know is that it has happened in my home town, surrounding towns, and even in Florida. I think this happens when a bunch of people gather who have to much time, money, and misplaced good intentions. I really… Read more

A while ago, I wrote about NeoGaf, one of the original online game communities. Because of unforeseen circumstances…. that may or may not have been proven. I’ve long stopped caring, if I ever did care, the community that was carefully cultivated and nurtured easily slipped into a new home: ResetERA. In a way, it was… Read more

Pres. Roosevelt – Fireside Chat – May 26, 1940 ——————————- Roosevelt was, I think, one of the… Read more

I saw Stephen King’s IT on Friday (the original day) at the 1:20 showing. So what? Why is this remarkable, you ask? I didn’t feel guilty about spending money on myself for a ticket. I didn’t berate myself for sitting 2+ hours without at least standing, fidgeting, or doing something. I broke away from NOA… Read more

I remember watching the very first American broadcast of the first episode. I don’t exactly remember what the episode was about, but remember my impressions of poor acting, shoddy costumes, awful backgrounds, and questionable film editing. I was rather amused by what was wrong and remember, distinctly, speaking to now lost friend Elizabeth. Elizabeth liked it. … Read more

What I think most people don’t realize is “Cinderella” is not the name of the character. Snow White – is – a name. It’s based upon circumstances of the weather rather than have any historical or societal reason. Regardless, it is a name. Sleeping Beauty’s name is Aurora. Like Snow White, Aurora’s name is based upon her… Read more

While perusing my G+ page, I came across the above – and it seemed to hit home with the three ring circus – known fondly as the Road to the White House. Just to get this out – I think Hilary is going to win. No, I don’t support her. I don’t like her. Yes,… Read more
