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
Do We Really Think THIS Will Play In Peoria?
Being the native New Yorker that I am I couldn’t help but get a little swept up in the torrent of stories that emerged from the New York primaries that were held earlier this week that gleefully announced what was being sold as a blue tsunami. Just about every national news outlet based in New
The UnBEARable Lightness Of Being (Transparent)
One of the buzzier series ever set in the work of restauranteuring reaches its expiration date tonight as FX’s THE BEAR drops its fifth and final season. Those who like and subscribe–and choose to watch–on Hulu will be able to binge-watch the final eight episodes in one marathon setting should Red Bull and/or Ryze allow
The Cris Carter Of Short Films?
Back in “the day”, which typically translates to the late 80s and early 90s for the really cool kids, the Philadelphia Eagles had a flamboyant and prolific wide receiver named Cris Carter. He’d inevitably turn up in Chris Berman’s highlights with the tag line “all he does is catch touchdowns”. After a far more productive
The Greatest Laker Of Them All?
I was probably less blindsided than many others when this news that among other PEOPLE’s Angelique Brenes broke yesterday afternoon: Linda Cohn is saying goodbye to ESPN after more than three decades at the network…The longtime SportsCenter anchor, 66, announced that she will retire on June 30, bringing to a close a groundbreaking 34-year run
A Little Less Draggin’. But Still Not Fire.
Unlike some more passionate fans of all things Targaryen, I tend to get more than a little bored by HOUSE OF THE DRAGONS. There’s no better proof than the fact that the last time this shoe aired on HBO two summers ago, I actually authored two separate musings with the exact same clickbait title–HOUSE OF
A Much-Needed Woody For Disney And Old School Toys
Pity the poor schmendriks at Disney who have been having to endure criticism and even some ridicule for how much of a misfire this summer has been so far (yes, I know today’s the official solstice but in the movie world that calendar moves up by roughly two months). THE MANDOLORIAN AND GROGU has officially
Not Everybody Knew His Name. But We Sure Knew His Work.
You might only be familiar with the name James L. (or Jim or Jimmy, depending upon the era) Burrows from the opening credits of a tv comedy you’ve watched at some point. Chances are you’ve probably watched the same episode of some of them more than once–according to some of the statistics I’ve seen, some
