Five More Musical Numbers in Non-Musical Films

Five More Musical Numbers in Non-Musical Films

I already had a number of songs from movies with unexpected musical numbers, but my friend Joe reminded me of Magnolia which has an absolutely amazing and beautifully haunting version of Aimee Mann's "Wise Up (It's Not Going to Stop)" and I had to include it. Revenge...

Sea of Stars is a wicked sweet RPG

I had been following Sea of Stars for quite a while after I first saw some of the amazing pixel artwork that had been done with the game, and when it was included with Playstation+, I was extremely surprised. I’ve played through a significant portion of it so far. I’m...

Five musical moments in non-musical films

Five musical moments in non-musical films

I love a good musical. Who am I kidding, I love a bad musical, too. But I think I like musical surprises even more. I like it when there is a strange, full-on musical moment in a film that is otherwise not a musical. Like Britany Snow's character, Bobby-Lynne, singing...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of December 3rd, 2023

It's hard to put into words how this week has affected me. I wrote the following on Wednesday morning while on my day off, before going grocery shopping. Work has been crazy this week. From student employee evaluations to planning what I'll be doing to get the labs...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of November 26th, 2023

Work, work, work. But Thanksgiving went well and I'm just catching up. I had purposely written the last weekend update prior to the weekend because I knew I would be up to no good for all four days and needed the break!  Adobe released a patch to fix the Premiere...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of November 19th, 2023

I'm currently dealing with a problem with the latest Adobe Premiere update. It has broken the tones and bars settings and even though I have the audio devices set, it isn't picking them up. Other applications like Audition and After Effects are picking them up...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of November 12th, 2023

This week has been somewhat productive on the scheduling front. It has been a nightmare working with X (Twitter) the last couple of weeks because they had accidentally disabled webp images, which is what I default my images to for compression. So I would usually have...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of November 5th, 2023

The week has been eventful, though mostly on the image capture side. Unfortunately, they still need some significant processing to webify them, and then I get to create pages and such based around them. But there are some bad movies (so good they're bad) on the way,...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 29th, 2023

This week has been pretty hard trying to cope with the death of my puppy Lanie, but I'm getting through. And it's my wife's birthday weekend. So that is always fun. And she has the Home Alone Lego set. I picked up the Tow Truck set. Plus, we're going Funko shopping...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 22nd, 2023

This has truly been a shitty week. On the positive, I was feeling better from Covid, but still testing positive so I worked from home and got quite a lot accomplished. There are pages up for Night of the Demons and Sadomania. However, now for the negative. My...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 15th, 2023

My luck ran out this week. Even though I had weathered the entire pandemic without getting Covid, this week knocked me on my ass. It makes sense that I didn't get it during the pandemic. I was lucky enough to be able to work from home and being a hermit, social...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 8th, 2023

This is been a long, difficult week. I work 10 hours days and have Wednesdays off to do grocery shopping and the like. This week, I finished out all of the scheduled posts for October and the beginning of November. The wife is sick, which is always horrible. And yet,...

Weekly Rewind for the Week of October 1st, 2023

Well, this weekend was quite great. It included putting together the Lego Fender Guitar and starting on the Optimus Prime Lego set. My wife did the Vespa and is working on R2-D2 now. All in all, it was a good time. However, work was pretty awful this week. We had an...

Get Your Nostalgia On!

Games

Arcade, Computer, and Console… and everything else…

A look at some of the games that have made us throw controllers, smile wistfully, and give our younger siblings unplugged controllers so they could feel involved without messing us up. Arcade classics, computer games from bygone eras, and even a few modern retro-remakes, homebrew, and retro developments are thrown in the mix.

Game on!

Movies & TV

Blockbusters, exploitation, and indies!

 Take a trip back to some of the films that you loved, hated, never saw, were too afraid to watch, or just had no idea actually existed. Find new things you should have watched, commiserate on films you wish you hadn’t, and look back at some of the movies that inspired us, scared us, and made us laugh growing up.

Snub or lean into your inner movie snob.

People, Places, & Things

A trip down memory lane…

Put on your nostalgia goggles and take a jump back in time, whether it is a toy you always wanted (G.I. Joe Aircraft Carrier for me) or an event that shaped our lives (9/11 or the Challenger disaster), there’s something to be found for each generation.

Toss me the nostalgia goggles!

Articles

A little bit of this, a little bit of that…

WHATCHA LISTENING TO?

Music is one of the key elements that takes us back to the past in a million wonderful ways.
