Episode 22: The Furnace Flats Affair I enjoyed this episode, first of all because it was shot almost entirely on a soundstage: one of those giant MGM sound stages that has a panorama painted on the wall and then some … Continue reading →

Commentary on “Game of Thrones” by George

Posted on June 8, 2019 by cobblerjon

From the time Daenerys (Emilia Clark) married Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa), I loved her and staunchly maintained that if they ever killed her off, I would never watch another episode. And they did, and I never will. Of course that’s … Continue reading →

Episode 16: The U.F.O. Affair Just when the show was hitting its stride, here we are back to unfunny and ridiculous. Example: the U.F.O. is shown in trouble in flight, shifting from side to side (literally – first one side … Continue reading →

Episode 10: The Paradise Lost Affair I didn’t like it. After being crazy about “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, I just can’t get used to this spy action entree seasoned with silly. April (Stephanie Powers) and Mark (Nigel Harrison) are undercover … Continue reading →

Episode 7: The Danish Blue Affair Whereas “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” certainly used humor, here we have what I call “Cutesie” humor, where the names of people and places are supposed to tickle you – I am only irritated. Example: Danish … Continue reading →

Godzilla (2014) – reviewed by George

Posted on February 21, 2016 by cobblerjon

I knew as soon as the release of this movie was announced that many critics would use it as a way to bash Roland Emmerich’s 1998 version. So at that time I rented Emmerich’s “Godzilla” and reviewed it for this blog. … Continue reading →
