Kingsman: The Golden Circle: Worth Seeing

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Steve

The surprise hit from a couple years ago returns and the people running things did it well. Circle is a sequel that dodged the pitfalls many run into: More and more characters on top of who was in the original. Another crisis … Continue reading →

Stars win their home opener for the ninth time

Posted on October 7, 2017 by Steve

Posted on October 4, 2017 by Steve

If the celebrities I like could hang in there for a couple more weeks, I may catch up on all the other obituaries I want to post on my site without them piling up. Which brings me to Harry. He … Continue reading →

Summer of 1982 IX: Blade Runner: The Final Cut in 4K

Posted on September 30, 2017 by Steve

Better late than never? Well, five years late since I’m guessing Blade Runner‘s owners have a stake in 2049 being a hit by reminding us how incredible the first chapter is. It was disappointing  to end The Summer of 1982 festival with TRON. Firstly, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 30, 2017 by Steve

Somara has lost a significant amount of weight. Enough that she needed to buy new clothes…and she has been rubbing my nose in it because she hates exercise, says it’s boring. Since I’ve ballooned back up after my leave last … Continue reading →

Marquette radio/stream is actually listenable

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Steve

I truly cannot even remember when I hunted it down to add it to my iTunes’ radio but most days Marquette’s stream plays music from this century unlike the attitudes when I attended. One major difference is that the DJs … Continue reading →

A candle to protect me from ignorant Trumpanzees

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Steve

Can’t go wrong with today’s public spokesman for Science and just generally awesome speaker Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He’s another reason why I decided to go back to school, to help communicate harder concepts to others…well, and I want to … Continue reading →

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Steve

Yesterday, DC chose to honor the 25th anniversary of Harley Quinn joining their comic-book universe through the awesome cartoon. Originally brought in to be the Joker’s number-one henchman and at times, love interest, Harley has since crossed over into the … Continue reading →

Dunkirk: Must See

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Steve

Christopher Nolan returns to cover a real event instead of a hypothetical future he failed to impress me with his poor Astronomical knowledge (aka Interstellar). In this retelling of the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk, his style works and frustrates. I’ll go … Continue reading →

RIP Grant Hart & Jessi Zazu

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Steve

With these two great musicians/writers, I didn’t forget, I put them off so my site wouldn’t be just a long string of sad, sad obituaries. First was seeing Grant Hart passing. Most people my age know him as the drummer … Continue reading →

Cake!

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Steve

It’s been a while since Somara has decorated a cake for a nice person. Which reminds me, we need to look into getting her kick-ass mixer repaired, if that’s possible. Meanwhile, I need to check into the leftovers Somara may … Continue reading →
