Terminator: Salvation
Why‽ Why‽ WHY‽ Why do they keep making sequels to the well-loved Terminator film from 1984‽ I haven’t seen one worth a crap, the short-lived TV show included and my complaint includes Judgment Day but Salvation really shits the bed. There’s a horrible, … Continue reading

1970: Apollo 13 launched
The Apollo 13 mission was a demonstration of what happens when you plan and prepare for the worst. It was NASA’s finest hour back then. Hard to believe it happened when the GOP was in the White House since we lost two … Continue reading

All our pets are wondering this by now…
My older cat Isis is in complete agreement, the younger cat Agamemnon probably thinks this is normal.
RIP Mort Drucker
Mort Drucker was a legendary artist. As Michael J. Fox once said, if you’re mocked in MAD by him, you’ve arrived. He was the TV/Film equivalent of Weird Al even though Mort was around first. He had an incredible style combining … Continue reading

The short version. Midsommar meets WALL-E because it’s Swedish and many people lose their sanity during the journey. If you’re still curious, keep reading… In the near future, Earth is inhospitable thanks to Climate Change so millions are leaving for Mars via spaceships … Continue reading

Operation: Manhattan Stage One Complete!
As of last night, the Master bedroom is over 95% cleaned up and I can’t wait to show it off to my friends in person. I sleep in there now. My cat Isis finds anywhere she wants on the bed … Continue reading
Bernie leaves, DLC circles wagons around a loser
Being only in the Sanders camp to push the Democrats to the Left because we already have a Right-Wing party successfully turning America into a Third World Nation, I am no prepared for the blame throwing in Biden loses. Much … Continue reading
Agamemnon loves Wolf chili
He chose to stick his head into the can to see what was left over that he could eat. Then came the rush to get a picture before he cleaned the majority of the goop off his nose. Aggie still … Continue reading
RIP Honor Blackman
Honor passed away a couple days ago (and not to CV-19). To most Americans, she’s most famous for being Pussy Galore in Goldfinger but I also knew she was one of the first two Avengers before Diana Rigg replaced her to … Continue reading
The Round Rocker crew promotes Social Distancing
allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”> A big thank you as well to Kathy and her housemate Ox for loaning us his camera while directing; we’re nowhere close to mastering the art of acting through monitors as the amazing Henson Players can. Before … Continue reading

At least they didn’t come from China
Given the incompetence of this administration, I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought this was a real offer nor would they get the reference.
My new cat isn’t terribly smart
As you witness, Agamemnon doesn’t know the difference between recordings/emulations and the real thing since he grew up in the wild. Still, it’s cute and funny.
Prospect
Well, one thing I can thank the Pandemic for is it got me to clear out all the movies/shows piling up in my Netflix-Hulu-Disney-Apple+ queues. It’s also giving me an excuse to finally implement a section I’ve wanted to do … Continue reading
Agamemnon inherited Miette’s behavior
One endearing thing my beloved Miette would do is hop into the shelves of my armoire when I was folding laundry. She’d poke around, mew and jump out before I closed the doors. Agamemnon immediately this upon his first opportunity. … Continue reading
