I was watching ‘Wargames’ the other day, and it may very well have been the first time I ever watched it though decent speakers. I swear there were notes in those music cues that I’ve never heard before. “Wargames’ has always been a fun watch, if a little on...

I’m interviewing for a writing job so I feel like I should be watching my mouth here. Luckily, race in America is no longer an issue, amirite? Falcon and the Winter Soldier has entered the rotation of shows that play well in my background. It’s actiony sure, but the...

Wherein Dave pisses you off a little bit by crapping on your favorite. But seriously, though- these were just bad. Like Star Wars’ Episodes 1, 7, 8, & 9, they’re all carried more by the momentum of what’s going on around them. That’s right, I went there too. Doctor...

This isn’t actually a love story, that was just a better title. But I do have a theory – and I think it’s a good one – that makes most of this shit make sense. To state the obvious up front, Endgame really did some weird shit with time....

Totally gonna go there, calling foul on some popular favorites. Sorry kids, but Captain America is a proud anti-law ass, and Iron Man is a short-attention-span killer. Whoops. Iron Man 2 I was at an ArcLight for this, the one in Sherman Oaks. One of their gimmicks was to...

I haven’t seen Black Widow yet, so no idea where that fits in. That leaves 23 films, but putting them in a precise order sounded too much like work. So I divvied them up into three groups, but they’re in no particular order beyond that. Thor 3: Ragnarok This...

I’m just a few eps into Falcon & Winter Soldier, so you know all this already. When this show started, there were a few special writers online who were giving them shit for failing to solve racism in a six-episode run. The introduction of politics was ham-fisted, it wasn’t...

Dinner theater tonight is the first Avengers team-up. So much toxic masculinity being ejaculated all over the screen! Anyway, I want to see the Infinity War that’s all about Thanos trying to double the amount of food in the universe, and the Avengers dying to stop him because their...

In my head, Red October is still the best Clancy picture, by far. Harrison Ford was too Mr America, and Ben Affleck was too jock. There’s no way around it, Jack Ryan is a Baldwin. The movie was so good it inspired me to read the book, the book...

WordPress has a plugin that scores each post title per some algorithm of clickability. On a hundred-point scale, that one got a 69. Nice. Anyway, I burned through the Alien movies the other day. Which is to say, the Ripley films. I skipped the first one entirely, because honestly...
