When I think of NASCAR, I'm reminded of a skit that comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham did, several years ago. He had a character called Sweet Daddy Dee, self-described as a "player in a management profession - PIMP". Anyway, when Jeff brought up NASCAR, his character's response was as...

Everything I told you came from sources I looked up online, to confirm what DC Comics and Warner Bros. in general had done with the character. Many other adaptations of the Superman story never used the full phrase - "Lois & Clark", "Smallville", the 2006 film "Superman Returns"...none of them...

Another thing - I was searching through some of my old Facebook posts today, and came across one I wrote back in 2016. After reading it over again, I realized it still matched my current thoughts about him, so I'd be interested to know your views... Today marks what would have been the 58th...

I recently found this article online, about Michael's spiritual worldview. I already knew he had been raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but this goes into his overall view of such matters a little more (though admittedly, not very extensively). Still, I'm reminded of a quote by C.S. Lewis - “We do...

Well in Michael's case, that got him into some fairly hot water during his 2005 trial. Apparently, he had bought several large collections of historic art books, not knowing what each one contained (a big mistake). Tom Sneddon then tried using that as part of his accusations, that Michael had...

I can't call myself "obsessive", when it comes to Christian books...or any books, for that matter. I truly enjoy reading, but in the last few years I've had a tough time, slowing my mind down so I can properly focus. Aside from that, here's a few that I've enjoyed in the past, and some others I...

I don't personally own any guns, and I've only fired them twice in my whole life. That said, I still am a loyal supporter of the Second Amendment, and I have no problem whatsoever debating those who disagree. My basic stance is very simple - most crooks don't care one bit how or where they get...

I recently learned of that as well. It reminded me of when he first got into music publishing. He told Paul McCartney that someday, he would own all the Beatles' songs. Paul took it as a joke, not believing for a second he was serious. When those rights came up for sale, Paul was offered them...

As a character, Superman has never been strictly nationalistic. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were two Jewish kids from Cleveland, who originally envisioned him as a homeless vagrant given powers by a mad scientist. That story was called "The Reign of the Superman", first published in January of...

I saw this one on Facebook yesterday, and it made me laugh... A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel. A realist sees a train. The engineer sees three idiots standing on the track!

Not to be anti-American (because I am a patriot), but it does make some level of sense for the character. How does a being as powerful as him protect the entire world, if he has to worry about the political concerns of just one country? He can still fight for and defend American values, but that...

Well, they played by different sets of rules. Even though both were supposed to be set in the future (1997 and 2013, respectively), "New York" was more dystopian and depressing, while "L.A." was slightly more optimistic. Many times, Carpenter has described his political views as "inconsistent"...

Carpenter is arguably most well-known for the original "Halloween", which made Jamie Lee Curtis a household name. But my personal favorite is "Escape From New York". Kurt Russell was largely associated with his Disney work at the time, and he was eager to part from his squeaky-clean image. Other...

One of my personal longtime favorites is 1994's "The Crow", starring Brandon Lee. I remember when it first came out, kids at my school were raving about it like crazy. I really wanted to see it, but my Mom refused to take me. I was extremely disappointed, to say the least. Then, about a year...

I don't know which version you're talking about, but the only fairly-recent movie that let me down was "Superman Returns", from 2006. In my opinion, its biggest flaw was that instead of telling an original story, the film was made as a pseudo-sequel to "Superman II". As a result, it contains a...

Here's another great song, from Michael's later career. I generally don't like remix albums, but this title track was an original song that Michael included.

Well for me, the results were very different. After my ex dumped me for the last time, I spent several years locked in emotions of pure hatred and intense grief. I hated the world, I hated myself, I hated her, and to be brutally honest I hated God. I knew my actions with my ex were sinful, but...

I'd never heard of ChatGPT until recently, but someone on a "Star Trek" forum used the program to analyze one of my YouTube videos, and this was the AI's response... "The speaker reflects on their perspective of the Star Trek franchise, emphasizing their disagreement with its portrayal of human...

Very much so. I really think of Michael as one of the entertainment world's most tragic figures. His life serves as both an inspiration but also a warning, regarding the highs and lows of always being recognized. He even wrote a song about it, called "The Price of Fame" - it was included on the...

Yeah, I was maybe 18 or so, when I quit seeing my aunt and uncle on a regular basis. My mother moved my sister and I away from them, many years later saying she wished she had done so earlier. She also confessed that her initial failure was one of her life's biggest regrets. My aunt passed away...
