Terminator: Salvation

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Steve

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 →

RIP Adam Schlesinger

Posted on April 2, 2020 by Steve

I had read earlier Adam was put into a medical coma because he was one of the unlucky few to come down with the full-blown illness caused by CV-19. It totally sucks he passed away. He was such a talented … Continue reading →

Posted on July 5, 2019 by Steve

Nemo breathed his last in Somara’s arms Wednesday night (July 3, 2019) as we were taking him to a 24-hour hospital to put him to sleep, end his misery. Such a shame too. The poor guy just recently celebrated his … Continue reading →

RIP iTunes

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Steve

It was a good run for software given how rapidly things evolve faster than human wisdom but the writing was on the wall since iOS had already separated iTunes’ functions into three apps. My brother has a very intriguing and … Continue reading →

Children of Men: a cautionary tale we’re ignoring

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Steve

I think this movie did pretty poorly at the box office because Dystopian films tend to fail when they’re released between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Can’t even remember why I didn’t see it sooner but it popped up on … Continue reading →

The Platinum Age of Television by David Bianculli

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Steve

If you’re a fan of Fresh Air, then you are probably familiar with the author since he’s the TV Critic and sometimes guest host. I usually tune out the last 5-10 minutes of the show anyway because I tend not to … Continue reading →

Vice: Worth Seeing

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Steve

Hard to believe that McKay could make a Dark Comedy about war criminal Dick Cheney but he succeeds in making his point, this horrible man was the main architect behind America’s problems abroad and at home. I’ll explain more of … Continue reading →

New shirt from WizWorld #1: The Krusty Krab!

Posted on September 28, 2018 by Steve

I haven’t had a Spongebob-related shirt in a while (the Metallica one) and I also scored it because there’s a co-worker who likes to swear via the word “barnacles!” as a joke. The reference to pizza is from an early, … Continue reading →

If you’re into Current Events like me (I have always been long before the Small-Fingered Vulgarian) there has been a flood of stories on the tenth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and how it was the beginning of … Continue reading →

Finally…My Life as a Teenage Robot on a shirt

Posted on September 9, 2018 by Steve

Here is the title character Jenny (model XJ-9) from a short-lived yet awesome Nickelodeon cartoon created by Rob Renzetti. I loved it because of the retro Art Deco style (many hard angles) and the main plot point was Jenny striving … Continue reading →

Nada Surf 2018 (Let Go anniversary tour)

Posted on July 31, 2018 by Steve

First of many digging out stories and despite this concert being almost two months ago, I still think it’s relevant; bands doing anniversary tours has been a thing lately. For me, if it’s Nada Surf, I’m there because The Stars are … Continue reading →

Franz Ferdinand

Posted on May 27, 2018 by Steve

One of my favorite bands in the last 20 years came by Austin again. I had tickets to see them in the last decade but was too sick to go. Not this time! Somara accompanied me which tells you how … Continue reading →

The Looming Tower, an FBI whitewash

Posted on May 13, 2018 by Steve

A Hulu miniseries based upon the book by Texas Lawrence Wright is mostly a whitewash to paint the FBI as the unsung heroes in trying to stop what lead to the 9/11 attacks. Whitewash? I call it a whitewash because … Continue reading →
