    Spiral: From the Book of Saw, A Movie Review

    0
    By Major Dan on October 14, 2021 Cinema & TV, October 12

    A Brief History On October 12, 2021, we finally got around to screening the latest film of the Saw horror movie franchise, the ninth movie of the series, Spiral: From the Book of Saw.  After the other films beat to death (figuratively) the diabolical death contraptions and focused on the victims, this iteration takes a different tack entirely, focusing on the investigating detective as the protagonist. Digging Deeper Played convincingly by Chris Rock, there is nothing funny about his character of Zeke Banks, an outcast cop that earned the enmity of his peers by once turning in a dirty cop. …

    By Major Dan on November 2, 2020 Cinema & TV, Crime, October 12

    A Brief History On October 12, 2020, we had the opportunity to watch a “movie” composite of the web streaming series, When the Streetlights Go On, a Quibi production consisting of 10 episodes, each running several minutes.  Our screening was a continuous playing of the series in the form of a movie.  As with previous Quibi productions, Streetlights is a top quality video with excellent actors, directing and cinematography. Breaking News: On October 21, 2020, news of an imminent shut down of Quibi was broken, and confirmed the next day.  Despite raising a considerable amount of capital for investment (nearly…

    Has the United States Totally Lost its Sense of Identity?

    By Major Dan on October 12, 2020 October 12, Politics

    A Brief History On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus, the Italian adventurer sailing into the unknown in the name of the Spanish Crown, landed in the Bahamas, the landing that became known as the “discovery” of America (or, “The New World” if you prefer).  We previously used this historic event for an article that questioned whether or not Americans should still celebrate Columbus Day.  Today, in the year 2020, Americans are taking down Confederate related statues and memorials left and right, and have moved on to also targeting anything related to any historical figure that had anything to do with…

    By Major Dan on October 12, 2019 Inventions, Military, October 12

    A Brief History On October 12, 1654, the Dutch city of Delft was the scene of a spectacular tragedy when a large gunpowder storehouse exploded, destroying much of the city and killing over 100 people.  Another 1000+ people were injured.  The incident is remembered as “The Delft Explosion” or “The Delft Thunderclap,” and was certainly not a unique accident concerning gunpowder. Digging Deeper The Delft Explosion was precipitated by the caretaker of the gunpowder magazine (the term used for a powder storehouse), Cornelis Soetens, went to test a sample of the gunpowder.  Exactly what the ill fated man did is…
