There’s No Crying in Baseball

Posted on May 15, 2022 by Nathan

Electric Dreams – Beth had wanted to watch this pretty much just because of the connection to Giorgio Moroder, who wrote the music. He’s known for his work with synthesizers, and was highly influential in the development of disco and … Continue reading →

Follow the Feline

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Nathan

Inherent Vice – I can’t say this movie really held my attention, and Beth said it didn’t for her either. It’s a Paul Thomas Anderson film based on a book by Thomas Pynchon, apparently following it pretty closely, and I’ve … Continue reading →

Fett Life

Posted on February 10, 2022 by Nathan

The Book of Boba Fett – Hey, this isn’t a book at all, but a TV show! You really don’t see books much in the Star Wars franchise, do you? There were the ancient Jedi texts in The Last Jedi, … Continue reading →

Superheroes Behaving Badly

Posted on May 20, 2021 by Nathan

Sometimes I watch a movie and can’t think of that much to say about it, but still want to acknowledge seeing it. That’s happened only sporadically over the last few months, and I don’t even remember how long ago I saw … Continue reading →

Theft of the Magi

Posted on February 10, 2021 by Nathan

I purchased the SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend Collection for the Switch, and I’ve mostly concentrated on Final Fantasy Legend II. I tried out the first one, but died pretty much immediately. I actually did in FFL2 as well, but that one … Continue reading →

Oceans Rise, Empires Fall

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Nathan

Isn’t It Nice When We’re All Afraid at the Same Time?

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Nathan

I haven’t written an album review since late April, and at least two of the records I discuss here were released before that. I don’t always have a lot of time to listen to music, and even when I do, … Continue reading →

Killing John Barleycorn

Posted on March 24, 2019 by Nathan

“John Barleycorn” is a British folk song with written versions dating back to the sixteenth century, personifying the barley crop as a dying and reborn figure. It can get pretty graphic about the torments heaped upon poor John, who is … Continue reading →

You Can’t Use Facts to Prove Anything That’s Even Remotely True

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Nathan

My Problems Are Temporal Things

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Nathan

The old proverb that money can’t buy happiness was probably, like so many things in this world, made up by a rich guy who was trying to keep the poor in their place. On the face of it, I guess … Continue reading →
