Writing about things I read and watch because somebody, somewhere might care. Knows entirely too much about the history of Winnipeg movie houses. I follow whatever and whoever interests me.

I started watching a new show this week that I'm really enjoying.

Oh, sorry, am I doing social media wrong?

Pod People, Manos, Werewolf, Hobgoblins, and Space Mutiny.

Those are my biggest rewatches. I too really got into it during the Sci-Fi era, plus the videotapes.

Good morning Mary Chain and also you, Jesus.

Decided to go with FUTURE COP because it's older and I haven't seen it.

Now that I've finished BABYLON 5, I need to pick a new series for my Tuesday Science Fiction viewing. The decision is more difficult than you'd think.

Ernest Borgnine or Yancy Butler?

The first thing you feel when you splatter sauce on your white t-shirt is silly.
Then you just feel stupid.

"Why am I wearing this shirt when I knew darn well I was cooking tonight?"

It's funny because it's true. I ruined my last white t-shirt yesterday while making dinner.

The funniest part was watching the camera roll into the scene. A photo doesn’t do it justice.

As I watch a camera roll into Ryan’s bar, I think it’s a shame that DARK SHADOWS is the show that gets a bad rap for its technical fluffs.

I am now of the age where I consider paying ridiculously high prices to go see an opening act.

NOW PLAYING: Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959).

I remember watching this on my old B&W TV, with tinfoil on the antenna so that I could pull in a signal from Pembina, North Dakota.
