I Just Saw “The Little Mermaid” and I Think I’ll Stick to Dry Land

My son and I have just returned from the Disney live-action remake of the 1989 The Little Mermaid. How was the movie? Well, it’s a mixed bag. The Little Mermaid really lags when it’s under the sea and trying to be a frame-for-frame match of the 1989 animated version. …

Biden’s Smile is a Powerful Weapon

A few days ago AP News released a photo of President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy meeting in the Oval Office. Biden and McCarthy are in the middle of negotiations to raise the debt ceiling. Long story short: if the debt ceiling is not raised then the US…

Okay, I Will Stop Being Grumpy. I Really Like The “New Yorker” Cover.

My “Medium” drafts folder has been nothing but me grumping and whining and complaining. I don’t like Dylan Mulvaney. I don’t like Jeffrey Marsh. I don’t like the “Midol” commercial. I don’t like that guy who threw a “Dunkin’ Donuts” plastic coffee cup on my hiking trail. Grump. Grump. Grump. …

This Plastic Cup Is Everything Wrong With 21st Century Morality.

I found this “Dunkin Donuts” coffee cup on a hiking trail a few days ago. It was literally just sitting by the side of a hiking trail. Some hiker just put it there and then continued on with his day. That annoyed me. I hate seeing litter in beautiful places…

Dylan Mulvaney’s Toxicity is Kinda Scary

Yeah, I’m still angry at Dylan Mulvaney. This is going to be a rant, so just be prepared. And the reason it’s going to be a rant is that Dylan’s toxic video lying to women is still up on Tiktok. It’s still getting views. …

That “Midol” Commercial is Ridiculous

You’ve seen that “Midol” commercial right? It’s the one that’s been annoying right wingers because it shows a trans man (or maybe a gender non-conforming woman or AFAB nonbinary person) having period symptoms. I’m exhausted already. Okay, I have no argument about the commercial showing someone with facial hair having…

I Love “Twister” but It Has Not Aged Well…

I was obsessed with the movie Twister back in the ‘90s. I had just moved from Massachusetts to Indiana. Indiana was flat, covered in corn and- according to my mother- had no trees. When we pointed out trees to her on the drive from the coast, she would state “Those…

Five Scenes From Kids Films That Still Scare the Hell Out of Me

We all have traumatic memories of scary childhood movies. There are a lot of movies that absolutely terrify us as children but simply come off as laughable when we rewatch them as adults. (I’ve reviewed The Crawling Eye here earlier). There are some kids movies, however, that still scare you…

It’s 2023. I Shouldn’t Have To Be Reading About Giuliani’s Penis.

I am a simple woman. I don’t demand much in life. All I need is food on my table, a roof over my head and not having to read about Rudy Giuliani’s erect penis. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. 2020 was three years ago. Can we please…
