    Review Clint Eastwood

    Paint Your Wagon was one of my mom's all-time favorite movies! I gave it a shot and....oh, the music pretty painful. It does have a subversive streak I like, though. :emoji_blush:

    Review Clint Eastwood

    One of my favorite movies is The Eiger Sanction. Grew up on Dirty Harry. Not into Westerns but there are always exceptions, and Unforgiven is one of 'em. He's done quite a few I like. Tightrope.

    Review Wes Craven

    Craven was writing novels? Sweet, never knew that! I'm in a minority thinking Serpent & the Rainbow is his best movie on all levels. I love it to bits.

    Review Lost in Space (1965)

    i winder how this plays to kids today. I was watching it at the age of three on a black and white set during the Apollo Space Program. So young that the camp of later seasons went right over my head, I though the whole things was serious! How I loved those classic designs of the Robot and...

    Review Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

    I loved it and was surprised it didn't win Best Picture Oscar. It's driven by two characters whose anger sparks a well of humanity in everyone else. I saw it with a friend who is exactly that kind of forgiving person, and all he could see in Three Billboards was the darkness. I loved it for...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WAY BACK - Episode 01

    I'm about to move from one coast of America to the other. Things are chaotic here, my first week or so there will probably be the same. Doing these is a major stress-reliever.

    Review STAR COPS: AN INSTINCT FOR MURDER - Episode 01

    (apologies right up front, I get really damn longwinded with reviews instead of just being conversational. I can do the conversational if it's easier, I do reviews for a blog.) S1E1, An Instinct for Murder Let me say right up front that I like Star Cops. I want that right up front because I'm...

    Fun Soda Pop

    Italian sodas! Hazelnut was my big thing for a while. Torani brand, they make the only good Irish Cream I've found so far...um, besides the real thing anyway! Vanilla makes any flavor better. That led to just plain club soda, that's become my go to drink. I love most kinds of soda but...

    Fun Pizzas!

    Fully loaded, hell yeah! Take off the olives and it's perfect. Mine: thin crust (negotiable, it focuses attention on the toppings), light on the sauce, Canadian bacon, beef, pineapple, green peppers, mushrooms, extra cheese. Green onions might be good.

    Fun Discontinued Foods!

    Mister Salty pretzel sticks. Discontinued because the sales were down, that's the official story. Sales were down because the latest health fad was the sodium scare. "Mister Salty" might as well have been named "Mister Coronary".

    Fun Burgers!

    Mom once gave me a burger that tasted really delicious, and there was something in it I couldn't place. "I really loved that hamburger. Did you add something to it?" "No." "Well I don't want you to thinkin I'm crazy but it tasted kinda like...coffee?" "Coffee? Well, I don't know why, it's...

    The Way Back (S1E1) Earth's future, at an unspecified date, in an unnamed country, under an interplanetary federation. Good citizen Roj Blake has a dodgy history. In fact he might have more than one, and dodgy in ways he doesn't even know. Blake was once a dissident who, having recanted and...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WAY BACK - Episode 01

    Hi! (waves) I was with the Sages for a short stint as IMDb died and had to bow out in the middle of Kolchak. If things turn out well over the next few weeks I hope to return and go through Blake and Star Cops with you. Not props exactly, but I think I recognized some of the soft furniture as...
