Spoiler Free: Midway

ByTim Boothby March 11, 2020 0 Comments
Just did something I haven't done in years, vegetated and watched a movie, didn't putter with anything, wasn't working on anything, just sat there with my tea and Midway. Good movie, even if the critics weren't fond of it, critics know jack shit. Was happy to see 34th patches among the Doolittle Raider pilots, and Aaron Eckhart's portrayal of Jimmy Doolittle almost makes me forgive Hollywood for...

Snippet: Birds of Prey

If the science crowd wants to bitch, they should be pointing out just how badly...

It takes place at the end of the Victorian Era, mentioned in passing in a newspaper that Mr. Books is reading occasionally throughout the movie. And also mixed...

Movies: I want my 7 bucks back!

ByTim Boothby January 30, 2008 0 Comments
I don't see why people are worried about the writing strike, with all of the remakes out in Hollywood these days this may just push them to the next inevitable step, just use the original script to remake the original flick. In the very short-lived animate series, Clerks, Randal manages to get several famous directors on the stand, grill them for a while and demanded his 7 bucks back, and I'm...
