This show has already be hit hard by the critics. Again it was one I thought looked interesting in the reviews. It was almost exactly what I was expecting. There was a surprise or two in the movie, that I will not give away here. Anyway the basic story is a superhero with a drinking […]

In June of 1981, just after I graduated from College, Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in theaters. At that time video rental and purchasing was in its infancy. Machines were expensive, and there were the “format wars”. So the movies in the theaters ran much longer than they do now, and they were

Two days in a row with minimal sleep, and I’m now exhausted. I’m surprised I have kept going this long. Not much going on except that my youngest is in another play. She just finished one, and starts another 2 days after closing… Being the person that I am, I will probably help out is

In 4.5 hours I need to be up and getting ready for work. For some reason I just couldn’t sleep. Not much new in this, but it is new that I was asleep and then woke up after an hour or so, and I was wide awake. No strange noises in the house, just the
I’m not going to write about how good the show was (again). I’m just going to write a little bit about some life lessons I’ve learned over the years at our little theater. Many hands make light work. After the shows we usually need to tear down the set to make room and clean up

I was privileged to work the light booth for another wonderful show. The time is drawing near when the last curtain will be dropped. In most cases, this is a mixture of joy and sorrow. Happy that the show is finally over, but sadness of a cast breaking up. It is our custom in this

I’ve been writing a lot about all of the comic book movies I’ve seen, but not to often about books that became movies. This may be a on going series in books that eventually became movies. I was talking with one of the other bloggers around here, and something brought this up. (Old age is
