Time For These Minions To Pray A Little Harder?
In entertainment much as in life, more often than not timing is everything. Had the DESPICABLE ME-verse arisen a few years before it actually did at the outset of the 2010s I might been in a position to have the desire to go to a theatre on my own and watch what I otherwise dismissed
Just For Today, How About Adding A Little Red And White To Your Blue?
Happy semiquincentennial birthday, America, and to those who celebrate. That’s not exactly a word that flies off my fingers with ease, so with your permission I’m gonna make any references to it as SQC. Not that I intend to do so at many points beyond today’s musing anyhoo. But I will admit that I’m more
Everything Has Its Time. If Not Its Place.
This was supposed to be yet another slow day lament about something that was once was that didn’t quite last. In this particular case, today is the anniversary of my first wedding, one I don’t often reference since it was far shorter and ultimately less lethal than my second was–or at least could have been.
Legally Bland?
I may be older–er, seasoned–but I’m not dead. And I also have a few guilty pleasures that might surprise you. One just happens to LEGALLY BLONDE, a now 25-year-old movie that was a hit with pretty much every other demographic quadrant other than the one I actually fell into. It was a great date movie

Didja See A Cancelled CBS Late Night Host Is Back?

It’s James Corden, you wankers, and unless you’re a true World Cup afficiando you might have overlooked the fact that earlier this month he made a triumphant return to the daypart. At the time FOX Sports did send
It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s A Bomb!
It all seemed so positive for the reimagined and revitalized DC Universe and the gang at Warner Brothers just about 12 months ago. SUPERMAN had been released to strong acclaim and more than $600 million at the worldwide box office. A quick glance at Wikipedia reminds us exactly how, well, super it all was: It
My Reaction To Life, Larry And “Unhappiness”? Eh.
Let me remind you that I actually am a fan of Larry David’s. In case you forgot, I was indeed more than a little wistful when CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM finally ended two Februarys ago, thus closing out an era that had endured for a dozen seasons spread out over nearly a quarter-century. And I somehow
