An Idea About the Plot of The Force Awakens
I’ve floated the following idea by some friends, and since they received it well, I thought I’d commit it to writing. Though I haven’t yet read anything similar online, I’m sure I’m not the first to think of it, so my apologies if this trail has already been blazed. Needless to say, spoilers abound regarding Star…

Sense8 – A Few Thoughts
A while back I vowed to watch everything the Wachowskis released. While I love the Wachowskis’ vision and cinematography, their stories and dialogue are often challenged. I hoped with a twelve episode series like Sense8, and with the help of writer J. Michael Straczynski, they would have enough time to really let their story unfold. Sense8…

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
My wife and I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, and they started talking up the prequel to Wet Hot American Summer some time ago.

My Opinion Regarding Go Set a Watchman (Having Not Yet Read It)
I’m excited there is so much conversation happening lately regarding literature. When Go Set a Watchman finally released the other day, my social feed went nuts.

DC Movies, String Theory, Parallel Worlds, and You
Ezra Miller confirmed on MTV News that he will indeed play Barry Allen and The Flash in 2018’s film.

Batman v Superman – Actions Have Consequences
After the initial trailer released for Batman v Superman, I felt excited. Very excited. But that excitement cannot compare to the sheer exuberance I experienced while watching the latest trailer the other day. Why so very enthusiastic? It’s not merely the sight of Wonder Woman in all her Amazonian glory. It’s not just watching Batman…

From the Beardstown High School Class of 1995
My hometown of Beardstown has a tradition of holding a class reunion each summer at the high school. We operate on five year increments, so this year welcomed the class of 1985, 1990, 1995, etc. The alumni association holds a wonderful banquet at the school, and each graduating class submits a few words to be…

Chewie … We’re All Home
If you somehow missed it last week … In my mind, any concerns about Star Wars: The Force Awakens are now officially put to rest. I shamelessly hereby abandon all cynicism and firmly place my fan boy hat atop my head. The above trailer hit all the right chords with me. This looks like Star…

My First Thoughts Concerning the Batman v. Superman Trailer
First of all, if you haven’t yet seen it … This was a very good couple of days for me, and the premature arrival of this trailer played no small role in that fact! I am very excited for this film and all it portends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t remain objective about it.…
