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 …
The Badger #15, 17, 18, 19, 20
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, …
The Badger #5, 6, 8, 11, 13, 14
I looked at an issue of The Badger last year during the "Fighting the Independents" blog post series and said that I'd consider looking at or reading other issues of the book if I came across them on the cheap. Lo and behold last year when my LCS was bought and moved locations to a bigger store. …
Tales from the Backslide
Zombie snacking is a real problem for me. In case you have absolutely no idea what I mean, I am talking about the act of eating a few hundred calories' worth of food in such a way that you don't actually realize how much you have consumed until you are done. It's been a problem …
The Last Broadcast
So I had heard it said on the Internet--and you obviously have to consider the veracity of this statement because we are talking about the Internet--that the 1999 found footage classic The Blair Witch Project is not as innovative as once thought and was toootalllly ripping off a 1998 movie called The Last Broadcast. A …
Young Justice
I don't know if I am imagining this or if it was true, but back when both Young Justice and The Titans were being published in the very late 1990s/early 2000s, the sentiment was that YJ was the "actual" Teen Titans series and The Titans was somehow robbing it of being that. As someone who …
