Pardon this intrusion to your internet, but  I just wanted to post as a "sticky" that while I have a presence here, my primary blog is Bill's Little Corner of the World.

I now return you to your regular program viewing.

Let me say that if you don’t intend to see this movie because of the actor casting issues, you don’t need to read any further. If you believe all the negative reviews that have come out in regards to this movie, you can stop reading now. Why?...The Last Airbender Movie

Honestly, this was a film I expected not to like, but I came away with the sincere hope that the Motion Picture Academy will remember Jackie Chan come Oscar time...The Karate Kid

There is wisdom in the adage about not fixing that which is not broken.  Unfortunately, following this adage doesn’t seem to be anything which is inherently wired in my genes...Fixing What's Not Broke

There will be many reviews this weekend that will tell you that Shrek 4 is not worth seeing or is disappointing.  Well, I’m here to tell you...And Then There Was Shrek 4

It’s not much of a secret that I served in the Marine Corps or that I was a combat photographer in Vietnam decades ago.  While many of the photos I shot are in the National Archives, most of them are simply listed as “Defense Department Photos” except this one

You will never hear or see me tell anyone that “a movie rocks.”  But Iron Man 2 does exactly that....

For the last two weeks, my most significant other has been bugging me (yes, I’m using that term) with the “I don’t know how this stuff is all put together. What am I suppose to do when you die and something breaks.”  Ignoring the fact that I really don’t think I’ll care whether the laser printer is working when I die, I decided to show her how the stuff is put together....   My Home Network

The sun still rose in the east.  My bank account balance remained unchanged. The Senate Republicans refused to work after 2PM.  Senator Grassley (R-IA) claimed...  On Wednesday Morning...

This was a movie that I think Walt Disney would have liked a lot.  It is the Alice story he’d been trying to tell since 1923.

In early February, I commented on the toll that cancer had taken on noted film critic and columnist, Roger Ebert. It left him without the ability to speak or eat, but it could not stop his marvelous way with words as he chronicled his story.  The piece I wrote is here.

Now comes word, that Ebert is able to speak using a text to speech software that in fact uses his own voice. It’s a wonderful story with a reasonable happy ending.  It’s just the type tale that Ebert would give a “thumbs up.”

Honestly? I was surprised at how much I liked this just recently released addition to the DCAU.  Crisis on Two Earths, written by Dwayne McDuffie, tells the tale of a Justice League ...Justice League - Crisis on Two Earths
