Some of my readers must be wondering why I’ve written three straight short posts concerning Hollywood’s older days. Don’t I know about the coming digital ID and currency, and the rest of the whole dangerous mess our world is facing? Am I playing a fiddle while Rome burns? Frankly, I’m
OK, when I call something a “gem,” I almost always add a caveat, “what’s a gem for me may not be for thee.” Most of my readers know I appreciate the moral entertainment of long ago to most of what’s produced today. I also realize that much of what I
Perhaps a better title for this post would have been “A Tale of Two Clint Eastwoods,” but I’m no Eastwood expert. I know he’s done quite a bit of directing as well as acting over recent decades, and I haven’t kept up with his work. That’s because I rarely watch
While researching my next 9/11 blog post—about the many anomalies of the planes on September 11, 2001—I went through the recovered forum threads for the now-defunct website of Pilots for 9/11 Truth. In doing so, I learned, for the first time, of a 2012 movie about 9/11 that I’d never
(Note: all images in this post are in the public domain.) Without even going into the well-known degradations of modern Hollywood, I have written about the past politicization of the Academy Awards—for example, the shunning of It’s a Wonderful Life for “Best Picture” of 1946 in favor of the politicized
Some of my readers have read my posts on the real reason there was a Golden Age of Television, as well as my post on the “lost” drama anthologies of that era, and how you can still buy many of them. Hollywood movies ran pretty much parallel to television during
I have been in the middle of another serious blog post, and as happens sometimes, I take a break to write about something lighter. I’m sure some will consider this post a frivolous waste of time and will prefer to ignore it. I want to start by saying that countless
Some of my readers are already familiar with my writings on Hollywood, such as on the mystery of the 1947 Best Picture Oscar, the suppression of It’s a Wonderful Life, the real reason for the Golden Age of Television, and the “lost” TV anthology dramas of the 1950s. There was
The world is in such serious trouble right now, writing this post may seem frivolous. I have, in the pipeline, serious upcoming posts, but like some of you, sometimes I like to take a mental break from the dark and depressing. This post is intended to shed light, and appreciation,
Although the holiday season is behind us, I believe there are some remarks long overdue concerning the suppression of It’s a Wonderful Life, arguably America’s most beloved Christmas film of all time.
In a follow-up to my recent post, I was Michael Decon’s guest on his podcast to discuss the progressive decline of pop music as an art form.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day. I’ve published articles on this event’s back story since 1986. The attack was PROVOKED and FOREKNOWN; FDR put the fleet in Hawaii against all naval advice, then scapegoated the Navy. My most up-to-date post is “Pearl Harbor: Roosevelt’s 9/11”:…
