For the most part, it’s good to adhere to the old lesson “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
In addition (this goes more for kids), but it’s a good idea that you “Don’t talk to strangers.”
But what happens when there’s a direct conflict between these two philosophies?
In Home Alone, Kevin McAllister is initially frightened by [...]
Well, I finally saw Avatar. I’ll spare you my review.
What I did want to share was my rather offensive idea for a sequel. Along with the help of a friend, here’s what we came up with.
In Avatar, Jake Sully (the lead) suffers from a physical disability, leaving him a paraplegic.
For the sequel, let’s go with [...]
It’s not uncommon for those in show business to change their names to something shorter, more memorable, and possibly less “Jewy.” Mr. Aykroyd, not a Jew as far as I know, probably has the most challenging 7 letter name to spell. I mean, now that I’m writing this post and focusing on [...]
Is it me, or has Mike Tyson’s image gone under a complete makeover within the past few years? I suppose it’s apples and oranges comparing Michael Vick to Mike Tyson, but I find it kinda fucked up that people were outraged about Vick’s behavior, yet seem to disreguard the fact that MIKE TYSON IS A [...]
Despite this country not “truly arriving” yet, we have made much progress in terms of the improvements of race relations. We’ve had the civil rights movement, and of course we got President Obama now too.
However, it seems white people have yet to embrace Tyler Perry. Having never seen a Tyler Perry TV show or film [...]
I have no idea why certain memories from my childhood stick out. One such memory was when we watched the movie Gandhi during freshman year of high school in social studies class. Social studies was always a subject I could tolerate. I enjoyed teachers’ lectures and class discussions, but it was the retaining of the [...]
Ya gotta love this line. It’s use is fairly common in both movies, and on television. It’s usually is yelled out by a son, when a stepdad is imposing his will on him.
“You’re not my father!!! You can’t tell me what to do.”
It’s the ultimate biting line, because the stepdad can never really come up [...]
Some of my favorite films of all time are ones that sprawl across two or more genres. For example, take Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy’s blockbuster smash that first hit theaters back in 1984. I’m not the biggest action film fan around, but once you add in Eddie’s biting humor, I’m game.
After [...]
The classic song, “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones is as far as I know open to interpretation when it comes to a specific meaning. I’ll let you do your own research.
However, off the top of my head I can pinpoint two moments in rock n’ roll history in which this song helped [...]
Not to get too technical here, but on TV/Film production shoots, everytime there is a location change, “room tone,” must be recorded. The person in charge of recording audio will ask all others on set to keep silent for a few seconds while he records the “sound of the room.”
It was during this kind of [...]
