From the Vault: Video Killed the Rental Store

This post originally appeared at my old blog in 2016 and appears here in slightly sofferent form. Did you appreciate the video rental store while you had it? Probably not. Instead, you simply spent nearly every Friday and Saturday night wandering around inside its walls, looking for VHS treasures to rent. You'd browse intently, as … Continue reading From the Vault: Video Killed the Rental Store →

From Screen to Page: Catwoman Returns

I finally got around to reading the six-issue miniseries Batman ‘89. Originally published by DC Comics between August 2021–July 2022, the comic was written by Sam Hamm, beautifully illustrated by Joe Quinones, and sumptuously colored by Leonardo Ito. Hamm, you might remember, wrote Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), so it’s fitting that he continues the story … Continue reading From Screen to Page: Catwoman Returns →

From the Vault: Superman III (at 40)

A version of this Superman III post originally appeared at my old blog. It has been revised and expanded here for the film’s fortieth anniversary. Superman III crash landed in theaters forty years ago on June 17, 1983. While it recouped its budget at the box office, the film was a major letdown for critics … Continue reading From the Vault: Superman III (at 40) →

Her energetic, spirited performances onstage and onscreen will never be forgotten, though. Tina will forever be the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Acid Queen, your private dancer, and simply the best. Here’s … Continue reading Tina →

Bombshells and Bosom Buddies

I don’t know if Michelle Pfeiffer auditioned for the role of Sonny Lumet on Bosom Buddies, but based on this photoshoot from around that time (see below) I think she certainly could’ve nailed the part of the show’s resident blonde bombshell. Not sure what she’s drinking, but I’ll have what she’s having. The sitcom that … Continue reading Bombshells and Bosom Buddies →

1989: The Year of Meg and Michelle

My buddy Paul over at Pfeiffer Pfilms and Meg Movies and I are back with our first dual post in a few years (where did the time go??). Once again, we’re joining forces—or pforces, if you will—to do what we love to do most: wax rhapsodic over the enormous talents and jaw-dropping sex appeal of … Continue reading 1989: The Year of Meg and Michelle →

Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux

My soft spot for Baby Pfeiffer is legendary, but I’m not alone. My friends and fellow super pfans Kelda, Paul, Juan, and Stacy (RIP), to name just a few, love Baby Pfeiffer with the same sort of fanatical zeal as I do. Every now and then I take a deep dive into the early roles … Continue reading Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux →
