How the Snyder Cut and a child’s question sum up modern fandom

So my daughter and I are both big fans of the anime series Inuyasha. I would tell you what it’s about, but like a lot of shows in the stateside anime boom of the late ’90s/early 2000s, there’s a…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 5)

Previously: 2019 ended and 2020 started, pretty much on time. Disney+ added the live-action remake of Aladdin, possibly the least necessary film ever made. Oh, you mean in this movie? Captain Holland has concluded that Dr. Reinhardt is probably…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019): a spoiler-filled review

For many, the big moment is here. The final story of the Skywalker saga officially hits theaters this weekend.

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 2)

Previously: Nothing. Nothing happened. The small exploratory starship USS Palomino found the long-missing big exploratory starship USS Cygnus near a black hole. That’s it. You are all caught up. Also, I misidentified long-time character actor Robert Forster as “Robert Forester”…

The Black Hole (1979), a recap (part 1)

Loyal readers may have noticed that I don’t write much. That’s because what I do write is indisputably genius. But why would a genius such as me (or Charles Babbage, or Sir George Stokes, or Isaac Newton, or any of…
