So like a number of movies on my Netflix DVD queue, Goodfellas was added because I'd wanted to watch it at some point a few years ago and couldn't find it on streaming. Then, I forgot about it and moved on until very recently when Netflix put it back on streaming. So I get to …

The Badger #34, 35, 36, 37, 38
Last year I did two whole series called "Fighting the Indepdendents" and "A Valiant Effort), where I deliberately read all of the independent comics in my backlog (at the time). Most of those books wound up in the donation or trash piles but kept a few with the hopes of collecting more. Mike Grell's Starslayer …
What The–?! #5
There was a time in the early 1990s when I read Mad and Cracked like crazy every summer. That's a really specific time to read those two magazines, but those were my version of Rob Kelly's "Mountain Comics" because I'd only ever buy them while on vacation in New Hampshire. The silly humor appealed to …
Trinity (2008) #1, 3-23
After Infinite Crisis, DC Comics decided to experiment with regular weekly and bi-weekly series, starting with 52 in 2006. 52 was not only critically acclaimed (and I'll have to check it out of my library to see if it still holds up--I sold my copies years ago) but also was a huge seller, so they went for it again in …

Here we go again ... and I think that by finishing these issues, I'm about halfway through my collection of Badger comics that I pulled out of the quarter bins at my LCS. So far, I haven't hated this title, but I confess that I haven't exactly thought it was the most awesome thing I had ever seen. …
Moon
Okay, so it was just by total coincidence that I watched this film and the PBS doc Chasing the Moon right around the same time. But hey, maybe this is "moon weekend" at The Uncollecting or something? Anyway. So whereas the documentary was all about the space program, Moon is a 2009 science fiction drama …
Chasing the Moon
I guess that I have to start by wondering if making a documentary about the Apollo 11 moon landing was ever really that necessary. I mean, considering that the show I just watched was broadcast in July 2019, a full fifty years since the mission, it was inevitable. But as someone who has watched a …
Black Swan
This is the third Darren Aronofsky film that was in my Netflix queue and therefore the third that I wound up watching and reviewing over the course of this project. Thankfully, I was able to find it on streaming via HBO, so I was able to kill two birds with one stone? Okay, so that's …

In my most recent Uncollecting Update post, I made a comment about how I'm thinking of mixing these comics up with others because they are starting to feel like a bit of a chore. I had decided to make my way through them because they were a nice chunk of my unread collection and I'd …

So this is an Australian film that came out around 2007 that I put on my Netflix queue who knows how many years ago and for reasons that I can't remember. It's very possible that I read about it on a movie blog or social media feed and was told that it was an intense, …
