    93% Democrat. And all this time I thought I was a Moderate!

    Chuck Heston

    Absolutely on the money! As bad as he can be in some roles, others were perfect for him and his style of acting. As you pointed out, Planet of the Apes was a role he was meant to play. Although he played the same type of character in that series and in other roles like The Omega Man, Soylent...

    Chuck Heston

    A few weeks ago, the wife and I caught "The Greatest Show on Earth," starring Heston and we could not stop laughing at what an overdramatic actor he was in that movie. So, last night, we're watching "The 10 Commandments," which I've seen countless times and again we had a good laugh at Heston's...

    Boyhood

    I thought Boyhood was a very interesting concept and a good movie. Although nothing "happened," it was a story about life and how every family is dysfunctional and that we all pretty much go through the same ebb and flow that life and change have to offer. Birdman was brilliant. Loved the...

    Lady GaGa on the Oscers.

    Not a fan by any stretch of the imagination, but she was fantastic. From the neck down, I would. From the neck up, pretty scary to look at. But the girl can sing, so I'd say she's got a pretty secure day job.

As for plans, I'll probably work part-time or do some volunteer work, but I...

    SNL40

    I agree that it was 90% great and 10% crap. Fallon and Timberlake's intro was great. Jeopardy killed it. As a skit, I always liked The Californians, but this one went too long and adding the "buh-bye" flight attendants at the end of the skit was just dumb and awkward. All the video clips...

    Another year without any real snow...

    No big snowfalls? And what's the problem with that? I guess I've gotten spoiled living in the deep south where the winters are very mild and have little snow and ice. After 20 years in ATL, if I never seen another snowflake, I'm okay with that. But for those people who actually like snow...

    Cool Story - Band of Brother's "Wild" Bill Guarnere's House

    Were there no family members who wanted the memorabilia? Kind of a shame that those items nearly ended up in a landfill.
