This Movie Scared the Jeepers Out of Me
I think we remember our first horror movies almost in the way we remember our first kiss, maybe because, ideally, both are unexpected. My first horror film, or at least what I thought was a horror film, was the 1980 TV movie, The Curse of King Tut's Tomb. It was around 1984, I was eight, … Continue reading This Movie Scared the Jeepers Out of Me
My Funny February
Oh, February, how it toyed with us this year. Well, with me it did. I can't speak for anyone else, obviously. The month was all kind of a blur because my son is living in the dorm at our local junior college and there have been lots of adjustments in that regard. Anyway, February's watches … Continue reading My Funny February

My First Kenneth Williams Movie
Carry on, Mr. Williams... One of the best things about blogging is getting to write about topics I wouldn't otherwise know about, and until yesterday I had never seen a Kenneth Williams movie.

The Horror of Influencing
Ah, Tubi. They try so, so hard. I have to hand it to them, though, their efforts at producing original films and shows is pretty remarkable seeing as they came from being the sort of riffraff free service.

Bad, Bombastic Blue Lagoon
Bring on the badness... Remember when 1991's Return To the Blue Lagoon came out? I was starting high school at the time, and it seemed so romantic.

I also got curious about … Continue reading Bad, Bombastic Blue Lagoon

Five Unique Chickens
I think I have chicken on the brain, but it's no shock after yesterday's Coq au Vin post. So, I thought I'd lean into it and look at some of pop culture's many, many chickens. Not all, of course, because there are too many, and we all know that chickens have been pop culture fodder … Continue reading Five Unique Chickens

The Slimmest of Slim Pickin’s
Mmmmmkay, I'm back after that little hiatus, and to be honest, I was sort of dreading coming back because I knew the stupid editing window is still there.

I really … Continue reading The Slimmest of Slim Pickin’s
