I’ve been hearing some talk since Iger’s unexpected departure yesterday. Mostly, it’s about Bob Chapek and is he really the guy to take over from Bob Iger? Is he just a caretaker until the inevitable mines finish exploding and someone else takes over for him? Is Chapek going to be an improvement? I’ll answer the […]

Read More Star Wars Claims It’s Biggest VictimMy youngest dragged me to it. Yeah, it was good. It was comedy that did everything it was supposed to. You liked the good guys and disliked the bad guys (although not too much). The script pretty closely followed the formula as laid out in Blake Snyder’s, Save the Cat. It says a hell of […]
Read More Cataline Recommends Sonic…I’m As Surprised As AnyoneYeah, me neither. The key to his momentum is simple enough. The Democrats chose to get rid of Winner Take All state primaries.

Read More What is Wrong With These People?I have come to what is for me an absolutely shocking conclusion. There are people who like The Last Jedi that aren’t being paid by Disney to say they do. Most of these, unsurprisingly, weren’t Star Wars fans. I know it seems odd but you have to remember, while there are Millennial fans of the […]
Read More Was I Too Hard on the Last Jedi?NEXT Where are the Democrats standing? Good question and it’s up there with the Riddle of the Sphinx.
