The latest film incarnation of Marvel's Fantastic Four looks like another fail. Get a clue...the Fantastic Four are literally unfilmable because the characters suck and their powers are stupid. Oh well...someone said my opinion was invalid online since I haven't read recent F4 comics. (heavy sigh)

I really hate what's going on right now in our country. Having lived through the civil rights riots in the 60s (including my then home town of Milwaukee), then the anti-war movement, which I was a part of, then the corruption of Watergate, the Kent State shootings...well, I thought I'd seen it all.

Just checking in for those that follow me. I hope to return to reviewing soon and will be sure to post any links to what is uploaded to Wind and Wire when I do. It has been a tumultuous year for Kathryn and myself and maybe 2025 will be less "bumpy" but with Voldemort in the White House, who knows?

I haven't posted in a while here (if you follow me on Facebook, you know why) but basically, my wife, Kathryn, has been severely ill for the last 3 weeks. She spent a week in the ICU and was discharged Friday. She had developed Afib and is now at home and on new meds and doing somewhat better.

So, should I introduce myself or what? I seldom used Twitter or X so I have no idea what the F to do! LOL LOL LOL

Just testing to see how I show up here...someone who follows me, please let me know if I show up as Bill Binkelman or billbinkelman@bluesky etc.
