The purpose, as much as Normie would like to believe otherwise, is not just to get Normie’s knickers in a twist. Yeah, that for sure has happened; Normie is complaining aplenty, and loudly, about just how atwist those knickers currently are. But director David Gordon Green didn’t set out specifically to get Normie upset. Rather…

Being honest about it, I’d never seen this one all the way through. It used to come on Saturday afternoons all the time on our local independent TV station when I was growing up, and I caught it in snippets. I figured, with the new film coming up, I should give it an actual sit-down,…

I was glad to find out that Zak Bagans pronounces his last name as “bay-gens”. If it were “bag-ins” it would always make me think of Frodo and Bilbo and I wouldn’t want to associate the Hobbits with Bagans in my mind. I don’t like doing it even now, to make this point. No, I…

I went and saw VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE for the second time this past weekend. Enjoyed it just as much the second go-round. Spotted a couple of little things that I missed during my first viewing. Stan Lee’s cameo, for instance. (Did you catch it? He’s on the front page of the newspaper in…

There are people who are complaining that the social commentary in the movie detracts from the storyline and bogs it down. And then there are people who are arguing that there is no social commentary and it’s all just so much carnage. (No, he’s in another movie that’s out right now.) There are those who…

There’s a rule of thumb about sequels that come out too soon upon the heels of their predecessors, that those sequels won’t be all that good, because they were rushed. Sometimes this holds true and sometimes it doesn’t, but overall it’s accurate more often than not. It’s why I was so late coming to all…

The Darkness, the spreading pool of impossible blackness, nothingness, the state of non-existence, non-life, anti-life, the self-aware void of being, reached out for her, claimed her, washed over Gale and chilled her down to her very soul. A cold that somehow was not a physical sensation, yet so deep, so profound, she could not imagine…

That headline might be a bit of an exaggeration. This isn’t *everything* that’s wrong with America today. But it’s indicative of a whole lot of what’s wrong with it. Some numbskull has started a petition to get the killing of the firefighters at the beginning of HALLOWEEN KILLS removed from the film. “I want the…

It’s been amusing to see all the wannabe gatekeepers losing their minds over the casting of Jamie Clayton as the new Pinhead for the HELLRAISER remake for Hulu. “Why don’t they just cast somebody black, too, so they can check off all the woke boxes?” one modern-day Einstein lamented. “How dare they make Pinhead a…

So are they going to be sexing Gozer up? Or un-sexy-ing Olivia Wilde? I hope it’s the latter. The creepy, slightly androgynous appearance of the Gozer character in the original 1984 GHOSTBUSTERS is the way to go. Either that or go in a completely different direction. Have Gozer look nothing at all like it looked…
