A few weeks ago, I reviewed Bud Greenspan's 1994 Olympics documentary, noting that this was one of "my" Olympics, so to speak--one of the games that took place when I really paying attention to everything surrounding them instead of just watching them when they came on. The marquee event, at least as far as network …

Crucible: The Final Impact
The !mpact Comics line from DC was never something I ever got into. I think that I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but i picked up the first issue of The Legend of the Shield because of the Captain America pastiche and The Comet for the Tom Lyle artwork, and I wound …
The Week in Uncollecting, 11/21/21-11/26/21
With more than half the week off, I've actually been able to do a little bit more than watch just one movie, and while I wanted to start another book, I opted for reading all trade paperbacks and graphic novels while also making my way through some of the stuff I've saved on DC Infinite. …

Contagion
When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the United States in March 2019 and we all went into a lockdown, Steven Soderbergh's Contagion jumped to a top spot over various streaming platforms. I didn't choose to watch it then--I opted for Netflix's Tiger King (which, coincidentally, dropped its second season yesterday)--but I made a point …
The Week in Uncollecting, 11/1/21-11/14/21
This is really a multi-week update because I've been "compiling" reviews in my notebook for a few weeks now. Plus, my most recent "weeks in ..." have been horror-themed and war-themed multi-review posts instead of one of my usual ones, so this is making up for that. Despite this piling up, there's not too much …
Books, Trades, and Graphic Novels in Brief, 9/1/21-10/1/21
Aliens: Hive: One of the original Dark Horse series that came out after Earth War, which was the final one I bought. I probably had every intention of keeping Aliens going but didn't have the money, to be honest, because Dark Horse's comics were $2.50 in the early 1990s. Anyway, this was enjoyable but I …

Films in Brief, 9/1/21-9/21/21
Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films Ever Made Part 2, Horror and Sci-Fi and Part 3, Comedy and Camp: I enjoyed the first parts of this and was eagerly waiting to watch the other two. Part 2 is the gem of all three because of its focus on genres that for years were on the …
The Week in Uncollecting, 4/2/21-4/9/21
Well, the first of these, and hopefully I can keep this up. I won't get into numbers until the month is over, except to say that there's not a ton of "keep/sell/donate/trash" physical media here because I was reading library books or streaming over Hulu, HBO Max, and Kanopy. So let's get to the rundown. …
The Movie Backlog
While I said in yesterday's post that I was going to start posting weekly updates instead of individual reviews (with some notable exceptions), I have noticed that my biggest backlog in reviews is in movies. I keep logging them into Letterboxd but have little to no opinions on them. Okay, I have opinions, but like …
Starslayer #1-3
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to find the remaining issues of Starslayer anywhere, and if I did, i was only expecting to find issue #10, which is the only First Comics issue I'm missing. Heck, I'd even resigned myself to having to go buy digital copies of the "remastered" original miniseries if …
