I wasn’t quite old enough to drink, so we got somebody to go in and buy us some alcohol. This guy came by and was like, ‘What are you doing tonight?’ I... Read more
Last night, I finally saw the film I’ve been waiting years, even decades, to see. Finally, my two favorite superheroes, Batman and Superman, graced the screen together in an epic film setting up the next decade or so of DC Comics superhero films. I thought it was a masterful story with depth, action and plenty of drama. But I’m not here to review it, because everyone else is doing that. My advice is to see if for yourself. What I... Read more
