Typical Marine Corps first date. This post is really more of a collection of extraneous minutia that I cut from the first post. One of the Aliens strengths is the design aesthetic. James Cameron started out in the special effects side of things building spaceship models for Battle Beyond the Stars and getting ripped off […]

Aliens is my favorite Eighties blast-flick, even nudging out Predator.  For whatever reason, this is the one that speaks to me. What James Cameron got right was basically everything.

We are by any reasonable measure the fifth hardest-hit state in the country. Michigan still has a lot of factories and they are damn near all shuttered. Gretchy-Poo’s reaction? Send the few people who […]

The legal theory of all law in NAZI Germany was the Furherprinzip. Basically, whatever crossed Hitler’s mind was law. It made for a perpetual legal train wreck but after 1942 that was the least of Germany’s problems. I now live in a state where the Governor has sworn, in public where people could hear her […]

Challenge for my beloved readers. Find examples of a Nakama in Western literature or movies. Doesn’t have to be recent and if you are more comfortable with Eastern examples use them instead. Here is the format to be used while discussing it in the comments. Title: The Three Musketeers. The Leader: D’artagnan The Rival: Athos […]
