The Ten Question Challenge

This was prompted on Medium.com by Roz Warren. In her post, she answered ten questions about herself, and I asked if I could get in on that action and answer ten questions about myself that nobody asked. Here goes: My Favorite Drink Tea! Tea all day in every way! Fruit…

Ghostbusters (2016) and Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey(2020): No Man’s Hero

There’s a subset of films that certain kinds of (let’s call them) white men insist on hating, and I have theories. I am speaking outside of some of the bad-faith arguments and hot takes I’ve seen on social media, where some people simply write whatever critical nonsense will get them…

The Greatest Cinematic Moments On My TV This Year

(Even If Some of Them Were Not Movies) Rather than do the typical Best of or Top Ten Movies of the Year list I’ve decided to talk about some of the greatest images that graced my TV this year (because I didn’t go to the movies much). If you are a film and TV fanatic like me, then…

In Defense of Forced Diversity

This argument has been bothering me. — As long as there are only one, two, or a handful of us, however, I presume in a field such as science fiction, where many of its writers come out of the liberal-Jewish tradition, prejudice will most likely remain a slight force — until, say, black writers start to number…

Omg! You have such excellent taste in music, not simply because it matches my own.

Omg! You have such excellent taste in music, not simply because it matches my own. Thst one Elton song used to make me cry like a toddler (when I was sixteen!) I’d also add the song Hurt by Johnny Cash. That song still hits me in the feels. And thank you for remembering Nobody Knows it But Me. I had that damn song on replay when I was in my thirties!

The man is 78 years old.

The man is 78 years old. I don’t want to come across as ageist (I’m five years away from early retirement at 57!) but sh*t like this is the reason the retirement age is 12 years younger than him! He has loooong overstayed any welcome he once had. He needs to take his mentally inert old ass somewhere with a nice view, sit the f*ck down, shut up about the job, and spend time dangling his grandchildren on his knee before he shuffles off this mortal coil. He needs to quit meddling.
