Outfoxed

Posted on June 3, 2026 by Nathan

Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb – From 1994, this point-and-click adventure game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, called Morphs. It’s pretty short, but generally enjoyable and charming. The graphics are appealing, and the … Continue reading →

Curse, Chorus, Curse

Posted on February 17, 2025 by Nathan

I’ve finally finished watching Once Upon a Time, which I actually started when it was still being made, but stopped for a few years. And it’s taken me a while to get through all of it. I enjoyed it, although … Continue reading →

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore

Posted on May 2, 2024 by Nathan

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland – I wrote a little bit about Once Upon a Time back when it was still pretty new, but I only recently got back to watching it. I’ve watched the first three seasons, and … Continue reading →

Coming Home to Roost

Posted on January 22, 2024 by Nathan

SPOILER WARNING! Also, watch out for rotten eggs. Marriage Story – I think the only thing I really knew about this movie before watching it was a picture of Adam Driver yelling, which became a meme template. But anyway, Driver plays … Continue reading →

I Spy a May Queen

Posted on May 5, 2021 by Nathan

I knew as a kid that the first of May was May Day, but it’s not something I ever celebrated. I don’t think it’s that big in the States, or at least not the part where I lived. The Wikipedia page … Continue reading →

Angling for the Saxons

Posted on April 24, 2021 by Nathan

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s idea for an America First Caucus based on Anglo-Saxon values sounds kind of bizarre to those of us who don’t run in white supremacist circles. Like, why Anglo-Saxon in particular, and why would a group focusing on … Continue reading →

Sidhe Bop

Posted on September 3, 2018 by Nathan

I’ve been reading a lot recently, but a bit sporadically. There are some library books I want to finish before starting on anything I own. I’m pretty anxious to read more of The Lost Tales of Oz, but I kind … Continue reading →

Magic, She Wrote

Posted on May 29, 2017 by Nathan

Bedknobs and Broomsticks – I seem to recall liking this movie pretty well as a kid, although even then I recognized it as kind of a second-rate Mary Poppins. It’s again set in England with precocious children, a stern caretaker … Continue reading →

To Prejudge a Predator

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Nathan

Zootopia – Since I’d seen all of the previous Disney animated classics, I wanted to try to see new ones at the theater, and I failed with this one. Instead, I just watched it last night. It was a pretty … Continue reading →
