On Fame, Loss, and Digital Media

January 2, 2017 By lisa

I was moved to return to this blog after an excruciatingly-long absence after reading a very thought-provoking article over at ScreenRant about the latest Star Wars movie, Rogue One. SPOILERS IN BOTH THE SCREENRANT ARTICLE AND IN THE POST BELOW. In Rogue One, which ends barely minutes before the events of A New Hope, we […]

A Tiny Little (Spoiler-Free!) PSA Regarding A Certain Movie Coming Soon

December 15, 2015 By lisa

Yesterday was the big Hollywood premiere of a little movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

RIP Robin Williams

August 26, 2014 By lisa

Well, I finally did it. I watched one of the inevitable montages that followed in the wake of the untimely death of Robin Williams. I probably could have chosen a better one.

Say Anything

December 5, 2012 By lisa

I was revisiting an old blog today when I found a post from a few years back about John Cusack, and I thought I would repost. Enjoy! I was actually on Black20.com defending Cusack against some folks who had the audacity to suggest that Bill Murray–of all people–was the best actor of our time.  Sheesh!  […]

Happy Birthday, Johnny Depp!

June 9, 2012 By lisa

Well, I couldn’t let the day go by without taking a minute to wish a Happy Birthday to my favorite actor, Johnny Depp! After a long day, I’m about ready to settle in (finally!) and watch something of his, though I’m not sure quite what. Netflix recently began offering The Rum Diary on streaming, which […]
