Try Supergirl for real wokeness. Perhaps a 54-year old man isn't the target demographic even if he is a scifi junkie. But slim pickings at the time and Melissa Benoist! Managed to get all the way to season 4 before the signalling got too deafening. I think it was the 3rd episode where the wheels fi...

If only you'd had a little bit o' luck! I love old Looney Tune cartoons. 'What's Opera, Doc?' may be the best animation ever made. What I have difficulty with is the caricatures of period actors.

Not to be anti-scots - but Doctor Who slid into a death-spiral around the time they hired Sylvester McCoy.

Either that - or I got too old for the show.

Just had a word with my own mother (no surprise there - most of us were born with them) - and the lack of high drama I will be experiencing by missing out on Xmas at home - will be very relaxing.

Bah Humbug!

Dennett Is overrated. Puts me to sleep every time. I even bought a book that supposedly summarized & clarified Dennett, and that put me to sleep. That’s funny, because I bought a copy of Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, because it was all the rage among atheists twenty years ago. It’s been sitting on my sh...

When anything is pushed as being good for what ails you (no matter what that is), you know expectations are too high.

There's always risk involved in any situation- even if the people involved don't acknowledge it or are delusional. I understand that people can't even go on a tinder date without risking bodily harm.

Well franc - if you are looking to catch up on what's been happening - sooner or later you'll have to read something about Jordon Peterson.

Nah, he's fairly serious about it, from what I've heard.

Nixon's legacy is gonna look far better in contrast. Especially if they don...

I enjoyed (or at least watched) 'Bugsy Malone' as a teenager. But it feels creepy to watch it now. 'Taxi Driver' or 'The Little Girl That Lives Down the Lane' or even 'Lollita' on the other hand...
