Pretty sure Drake Maye leads the league in 30+ yard handoffs. There aren't many who can drop it in a bucket like Maye.

Giants are terrible, but they're feisty, at least. Good test for the Pats tonight.

And those Patriots red throwbacks are among the best NFL throwbacks. I wish they'd either go back to them or rebrand. Time for Elvis to go.

I know it won't make Ole Miss fans any happier if Kiffin bolts, but I love Oxford, Mississippi.

Syracuse going to OT with the #3 team in the country tonight is a very good sign this basketball team is finally headed in the right direction after far too many years being sub-mediocre.

Also, they should never not wear these jerseys.

Here are the only Star Wars Rankings that matter:

1. Your favorite
2. Your 2nd favorite
3. Your 3rd favorite
4. Your 4th favorite
5. Your fifth favorite.
...
Last. Your least favorite

Don't let anyone else convince of what's good Star Wars or bad Star Wars.

S is for THE SCOOBY-DOO PROJECT
A ★★★★ review of The Scooby-Doo Project (1999)
I had no idea this existed before a few days ago, but it's really well done. At least as a Scooby satire; I still have never seen any of the Blair Witch things. Minus a half star for the cheap Scrappy...

That's a great road win for Purdue against a very good Alabama team.

R is for RING

A ★★★★ review of Ring (1998)
A highly effective slow burn horror film that is more interested in the tension felt by the characters than it is in scaring the audience at home. The film depends on its visuals to provide the creepy...

P is for POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN
A ★★ review of Popeye the Slayer Man (2025)
I knew that I wanted to watch at least one of these Public Domain cash-ins during my horror marathon and, as far as expectations for these things go, POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN was pretty good. I mean, it'...

O is for ODDITY
A ★★★★ review of Oddity (2024)
Oh yeah, this is how to do a nice moody horror. A couple nice scares, but really, this works because of the way director Damian McCarthy blends story and tension. Has the feel of an old-timey MR James...

Ugh. Gutted for Toronto.

Great World Series, though.
November 2, 2025 at 4:20 AM
The 9th inning!

Game-tying HR from just about the last guy you'd expect.

Bases loaded, 1 out, and no runs in despite a razor-thin play at the plate and then an outfield collision on a deep fly ball.

What a brilliant World Series this has been!

Tied in Toronto!
November 2, 2025 at 3:17 AM
Not even thru 4 and Game 7 has been spicy.

Bichette can't score on the single, so next time up he drills one out of the park.

2 run saving catches from Varsho and Vladi.

Giménez tries to lean his hand into a pitch, then gets all salty when he gets drilled on the next pitch.

Drama!

N is for THE NIGHT STALKER
A ★★★★ review of The Night Stalker (1972)
Pretty sure in 2025 we have more people who believe in vampires than newspapers, but this THE NIGHT STALKER is good, pulpy fun. Features a tight script from Richard Matheson and a fantastic performanc...

When the Red Sox are in the World Series, I want them to win in 4.

Whenever anyone else is in the Series, I want the series to go 7.

Level unlocked.

Game 7 tomorrow night in Toronto!

M is for MONSTER ISLAND
A ★ review of Monster Island (2004)
I had no idea that in 2004 MTV made a movie that played like a late '60s kids monster show. I'm not going to give 0 stars to a movie that has: 1. Adam West 2. Mary Elizabeth Winstead 3. giant stop-mot...

L is for LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL

Gimme more horror movies like this. There's nothing revolutionary here, nothing that reinvents the scream wheel or anything, but it's got a clever gimmick and an engaging narrative and good performanc...

K is for KAKURENBO.

(Gonna be honest - my "K" movie was either going to be this or KWAIDAN and this one because it's 30 minutes and not 3 hours and that's the time I had this afternoon.)
A ★★★½ review of Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek (2004)
Coming in at under a half-hour, KAKURENBO is a very solid bit of creepy anime. It's got a classic horror set-up: kids vanish while playing a game of hide and seek in a maybe-haunted locations, so of c...

J is for JENNIFER'S BODY
A ★★★ review of Jennifer's Body (2009)
When the film stays with the troika of Jennifer, Needy, and Chip, it held my interest. Great use of character, putting Needy's repressed/subdued sexuality in between the relatively open books of Jenni...
