When I was a kid, I would watch The Muppet Movie quite often, it was a favorite of mine. I haven’t watched it in quite awhile, though. So, when Fathom Events announced a fortieth anniversary screening, and I saw that it would be showing at the Lufkin Cinemark, I knew I would have to go …

Hearts Beat Loud (2018)
Hearts Beat Loud has been on my Hulu list for awhile now. I like Nick Offerman, he has been good in other movies & I watched his comedy special awhile back, so it was an easy add. But I hadn’t watched the movie until this morning. A single father in Red Hook has a daughter …
1922 (2017)
I picked up the short story collection Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King last week at Half Price Books, along with Fight Club and the novelization for Suicide Squad. Of course, I read Fight Club first, and started Full Dark, No Stars the other night. The first story in the collection is ‘1922’, which …
Dunkirk (2017)
A couple of years ago, I was talking about movies with a co-worker, and he suggested, since I like Christopher Nolan movies so much, I should watch Dunkirk. I’d seen the trailer, and I was curious about it, but I hadn’t watched it. I didn’t get to the theater. I didn’t rent it from Redbox …
East Texas Movie Theaters
Before getting too deep into this, I want to talk about the movie theater options I have to choose from around here. When I first moved to Nacogdoches County, my sister told me the movie theater was the Carmike in Nacogdoches. And that was it. Until I complained about them not showing something I wanted …
Child’s Play (1988), Child’s Play 2 (1990) & Child’s Play 3 (1991)
So, I went to see the Child’s Play reboot when it opened last month. I hadn’t seen any of the original Child’s Play or Chucky movies before, but figured, what the hell, Mark Hamill was doing voicework and Aubrey Plaza was playing the mom, why not see it the same day I was watching The …

The Lion King 3D & 2D (2019)
Thanks to my AMC Stubs membership, I was able to spend Friday night at the movies, or at least the same movie twice. I decided to use two of my three tickets this week to watch The Lion King in both 3D and 2D. The new “live action” release is the same story as the …
Fight Club (1999)
Back in the fall of 2000, I was working for a rent-a-cop company in Austin, Texas, and wound up getting assigned to work overnight security at the Radisson Hotel by accident, thanks to a late call-in from a co-worker. They liked me there, so it wound up being a semi-permanent assignment. One of the front …
East Texas Pan-Geek, An Introduction
Alright, so, let’s begin. My name is Tom, and I’m a pan-geek. Over a decade ago, a dear friend came up with the idea of pan-geeks – scifi fans that also liked regular science, fantasy, sports, board games, videogames, cosplay & conventions – basically a cross-section of nerdiness that wasn’t confined to just being a …
