Popular TV Characters Who Always Wear Bow Ties

Aways a late shopper for Christmas gifts, I was not surprised to find myself at the various retail stores in the mall in late December. I was more than a little taken aback, however, when one of those shops already had its spring fashions on display. Among the attire labeled for the season, still three months away, was a rack of bow ties. ...

Dario Argento's Dracula

Being a big fan of the Hammer Dracula films starring Christopher Lee (who, in my opinion, was the best Dracula ever), I always tend to view modern reboots of Stoker's famous vampire lord with a certain degree of cynicism.

Hollywood Needs A Late Night Comedy Show That Trashes Left-Leaning Politics

Have you ever watched late night comedy shows and thought to yourself that the constant bombardment of Republicans, Tea Party Folks, and Donald Trump just was not funny anymore? Yep, me too, and as a right-leaning libertarian, I just think it is persnickety, victimhood, progressive poop. What's even more interesting is that all these shows are essentially the same, and they all compete against one-another, while all the right-leaning folks tune out. From a marketing and branding standpoint that just makes no sense, but their ideological slant doesn't allow them to seek viewers outside this "hate speech" neo-liberal bubble - no wonder they cannot believe they lost the election - they lived in their own living room echo chamber. ...
