Tom Selleck vs. the Daughters of Satan! →
A friend of mine asked me to find this movie. His wife is Filipino, and because this was filmed in the Philippines and stars Tom Selleck- who he has a man crush on- he wanted to see it. Let me tell…
so long, Rocky. so long, Bullwinkle. →
Alex Anderson, creator of Rocky & Bullwinkle, passed away yesterday. Jay Ward was more influential to the show itself, but Anderson drew them up and created them, before Ward took off…
Cape and Battle Axe, how I have missed thee →
Who thought it was a good idea to get kids used to lie detectors? That’s damn creepy, isn’t it? What’s next, the Fisher Price My First FBI Wiretap Kit? Makes me want to wear a tin foil…
A*S*T*E*R*I*S*K*S →
What was the deal with putting A*S*T*E*R*I*S*K*S in movie titles? M*A*S*H may have started it in the movies. It was short for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and is Robert Altman’s most well-known…
Hank Hill and the Number of the Beast →
I promised if I got 666 followers, I’d record Hank Hill singing Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast.” I do a passable impression of the King of the Hill, so here he is finding Bobby’s Satanic…

Captain Purple vs. the Guido Bullies of Nutley →
Yesterday people wore purple to support LGBT teens, and fight bullying. I don’t have a lot of purple since when I was really fat it made me look like Grimace, so I wore my LSU rugby shirt- their…
15 Directors →
Inspired by Cinema du Meep and Radiator Heaven, two of my favorite movie blogs, here are the fifteen directors who changed how I think about the movies. Some are better, but these are the ones…
80s Trash of the Week: In God We Tru$t →
I have a soft spot for Marty Feldman. I can’t say he has puppy dog eyes, unless your puppy is from an alien planet where their eyes grow on stalks, but I saw him in SILENT MOVIE and …
Movies with Milky: Centurion →
Is CG blood cheaper or easier? I just want to know why it’s so prevalent these days. Everything from Rob Zombie putting a CG Bowie knife in someone’s chest in THE DEVIL’S REJECTS to the virtual…
I wanted to grow up to be B.J. and the Bear →
“I don’t feel tardy.” Ever notice that line in “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen? When I was a kid I didn’t know it meant “late,” so when a teacher said I was “tardy” I thought she was saying I was…
Cloverleaf Tavern's Fat Burger & some beers →
Now, in California I love me some Fatburger, almost as much as In-N-Out. One popped up in Jersey City and went out of business before I could try one, but I imagine the franchise dilutes the brand. I…
Remembering "Witch Nose" on Boobie Wednesday →
photo by maitexuIt is Boobie Wednesday, so check your tatas for lumps, ladies. And your moobs, fellas. Men die of breast cancer, too. You don’t have to have bitch tits…
a friendly game of corn hole →
Some friends told me their neighbors invited them over for a friendly game of corn hole. I thought swinger couples disappeared in the early ’80s, but it turns out this is an Irish bean bag game.You…

John Waters: Role Models →
I’ve been a fan of John Waters since my teens, when I heard about the “most disgusting movie ever made,” and went to our local video store to find it. It was, of course, PINK FLAMINGOS,…
the thing about The Thing →
John Carpenter’s THE THING has long been a favorite of both horror and science fiction fans for its perfect mood, taut pacing, and its faithful adaptation of John Campbell’s…
Raymond's Burger and Brunch →
I love a good burger. Lately my local favorite is at Elevation Burger (full review) where they use grass-fed organic beef. But it’s a fast food style joint, with a limited menu, so sometimes you want…
The Vikings →
In memory of Tony Curtis, whose obnoxious New York accent pissed off snobs and critics everywhere, I bring you one of Hollywood’s best sword and sandal epics: THE VIKINGS! Played for…
