I Took My Mom to See a Star War
If the title didn't give it away, let this first line be your fair warning... THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. I don't mean to blatantly spoil a movie that has only been in theaters for a week and a half, but it's going to happen. I don't think I can … Continue reading I Took My Mom to See a Star War
Making Mom Watch Star Wars
Something you probably don't know about my mother is that she's a big fan of Good Morning America. This morning show, if you aren't aware, is a staple on the ABC network. ABC, of course, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. Therefore, any time anything in relation to Disney or any of its properties needs … Continue reading Making Mom Watch Star Wars
I Know I’ve Never Blogged About Game of Thrones Before…
I derive a great deal of entertainment from YouTube videos. There are a lot of really interesting creators out there who are putting out a lot of entertaining content. One of the channels to which I'm subscribed isn't an individual creator, but is entertaining and informative nonetheless. It's the Nerdist channel.

What I’m Watching This Fall
Kids, when I was growing up, my family had a regular subscription to the TV Guide. And this is back when the weekly publication was in a compact size.

And I discontinued my subscription to MoviePass toward the end of last year. So there’s … Continue reading 10 Movies I’m Anticipating in 2019
The Hero/Villain Parley
I don't know about you, but I love it when movies or TV shows throw in scenes where the hero and the villain meet and just have a conversation. It doesn't necessarily have to be the first time these two characters come face to face, it just has to result in an interesting encounter that … Continue reading The Hero/Villain Parley
Boba Fett Is a Chump
Yeah, I said it. Boba Fett is a chump. Look, I’ve never understood the big deal with Boba Fett. But it seems that there has pretty much always been this pocket of Star Wars fandom that loves the guy. Like he’s the biggest badass in the galaxy. Next to, one would assume, Darth Vader. He’s … Continue reading Boba Fett Is a Chump

Rogue One 2016 Directed by Gareth Edwards Netflix says... Before the events of the original "Star Wars" trilogy, the Rebel Alliance enlists a team of rogue fighters to steal plans for the Galactic Empire's new space station -- a powerful superweapon called the Death Star.
