A Pulitzer Bunny
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be” – she always called me Elwood – “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” Well, … Continue reading

Lovely, Still is awesome!
Lovely, Still was released in 2010 and stars Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn as old people in love. It’s a romantic movie, and then some. My advice is for you to watch the first half, then turn it off. The … Continue reading
Troubling Dream I
I was back home, in the country, surrounded by miles of emptiness. It was night. I was walking my dog along the fence-line. There was a large moon in the sky, supplying light. From the corner of my eye, I … Continue reading
Some Call it Acts of Worship
Acts of Worship is another of those Movies of Addicted Women. But this time there’s no 12 steps. There’s inappropriate sex, but no children. The main character is little more than a kid. You don’t even find out how or … Continue reading
Chaos String Cheese Theory
Chaos theory is the mathematical study of deterministic behavior that is not predictable. It’s chaotic, not random. There is so much cause and effect going on that it’s too complicated to know what’s going to happen next. The classic example … Continue reading
Froggie got the right idea
My favorite scene in The Muppet Movie is when Kermit and Fozzie are in Fozzie’s uncle’s car. Kermit tells Fozzie to “bear left at the fork in the road”. There’s this giant eating utensil-type fork in the road. Fozzie says, … Continue reading
Sweetwater’s Famous Son
Another of my childhood favorites was a Don Knotts vehicle named The Reluctant Astronaut. (I loved everything about out space in those days.) This is a 60’s comedy about the space race. According to this movie, winning the space race … Continue reading

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken Came to Dinner
When I was a kid, there was this older kid named Ernie who introduced me to many great things. The board game Risk. The Mad Scientists’ Club (which I’ll get to some other time). And several groovy movies. Thank you, … Continue reading
Alice in Underland
I liked Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland much more than I expected. A grown-up Alice returns to Wonderland. It sort of recreates the original story, then one of Tweedle Dee’s poems, and adds some new stuff so it can be … Continue reading
#17, an Early Hitchcock movie
Made in 1932, Number 17 sometimes shows it’s age. Netflix instant has an OK print. And its sound isn’t too bad. Five minutes into it, you’ll be hearing past the hiss and seeing past any scratches without any effort on … Continue reading
