Went and saw the new Superman last night with one of my daughters. It was fine. Not terrible, not great. She liked it way more than I did. I grew up on Richard Donner Superman. I know a lot of the stuff in the movie is from the comics but having all the other crazy meta humans made it feel like an ...

I "thanked" you for that Yohn, but I also wonder what a sick puppy you had to have been in your younger days.

Speaking of mixing gin and vodka, I had a martini once (I think in Vegas?) that on the menu was called The Rat Pack and it was a traditional martini made with 50/50 gin and vodka. It was quite good.

This series is one of the best of '25 for me. Very powerful.

My wife and I are midway through the fourth and latest season of the Brit TV series Clarkson's Farm. It's a hoot and also enlightening.
We were turned on to this show earlier this year by some friends. Sitting down to watch it with no knowledge I was stunned to see it stars the notorious and ...

It's very much in the vein of E.R., which Wylie was also in and I read was unsuccessful in trying to revive the E.R. show name for this series. Like many multi ...

Wishing you all the best in your retirement David. Having known/followed you for many years now, I know you've dedicated a lot of your life into your job. I'm sure you know that all of your work-related regiment will take time to fade. Or perhaps reapplied to other, more personal endevours. In the ...
