  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Emily Post Institute’s Pet Etiquette Outdated (and Misocynist) September 24, 2018
    Dear Emily Post Institute: While I highly respect and even own your “Emily Post’s Etiquette (18th Edition),” this weekend I was alarmed to find that under the chapter “Living with Neighbors” (page 72-73) your subsection entitled “Pets” only deals with how dogs should be controlled.  Specifically, you detail that incessant dog barking, damaging neighbors’ pro […]

  • Take Time for ‘The House with a Clock in its Walls’ ✮✮✮✮ September 21, 2018
    “The House with a Clock in its Walls” is an uncomplicated story about loss and the healing power of magic and love. An orphaned boy finds danger at school and home as he settles in with his uncle and learns to be a warlock. The movie has gentle delights and mild scares, making it good […]

  • The Fable of ‘Sweat’ Equity ✮✮✮✮✮ September 21, 2018
    Living in Los Angeles, you might not think that Reading, Pennsylvania has much in common with our local population, with theater goers at the Mark Taper Forum. Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play about working class friends in 2000 and 2008, explores the belief in sweat-equity and the betrayal by faceless CEOs that doesn’t stop with […]

  • Was ‘The Predator’ Written by a Dog-Hating Cat Owner? ✮ September 12, 2018
    Going into “The Predator” my main question was: Can my beloved Sterling K. Brown from one of my favorite TV dramas, “This Is Us,” save this film. Leaving the film: I has a question about physics and physiometry and, more simplistically: Was this script written by a dog-hating cat owner? This is the sixth or […]

  • SDCC 2018: ‘Yellow Submarine’ Graphic Novel August 29, 2018
    “Yellow Submarine” turned 50 in July and for those who were born too late to truly appreciate the Summer of Love and the Beatles psychedelic phase, you can still celebrate: This week, Bill Morrison’s graphic novel of the movie comes out (Titan Comics) complete with a new poster and you can watched a cleaned-up restored […]

  • ‘Ain’t Too Proud’: The Temptations and Temptation, a Musical History ✮✮✮✮ August 26, 2018
    Opening night for “Ain’t Too Proud” was music and Motown memories. The audience included the man who made it happen, Berry Gordy (88); one of the original Supremes, Mary Wilson (74), and the man of the musical: baritone Big Daddy Otis Williams (76). The full name of the musical is “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life […]

  • Ms. Geek Speaks: Why US Citizens Don’t Recognize West Asia as…Well Asia August 25, 2018
    People seem to be confused on what is Asia. I know this because of a Twitterstorm around just where Egypt is (Hint: It is both in Asia AND Africa) and because I know where Asia is (including Israel) and I know the definition of Asian American (according to Merriam Webster: “: an American of Asian descent”). […]

  • ‘Searching’ for Normalcy ✮✮✮✮ August 24, 2018
    “Searching” will look oddly familiar. Filmed from the distorting perspective of smartphones and computers, vlogs and social media moments, “Searching” examines how one can have “friends” but feel isolated in a world dominated by social media. The focus is on a broken family–not through divorce but by death. David Kim (John Cho) is a widower, […] […]

  • SDCC 2018: Doctor Who–Lucky 13? August 22, 2018
    Last year at San Diego Comic-Con, Peter Capaldi took a bow as Doctor Who at Hall H; this year, for the first time ever, members of BBC’s “Doctor Who” appeared together in Hall H on Thursday to tease fans with the new season’s secrets and explain the new possibilities with the first ever female “Doctor […]

  • SDCC 2018: A Fan-tastic Time August 22, 2018
    “The Game of Thrones” (and “Westworld”) didn’t make the trip nor did Marvel Studios or Disney for its big budget movies. Starz will take its hit “Outlander” to New York Comic-Con this October (4-7), but skipped San Diego Comic-Con.  Zachary Levi’s Nerd HQ didn’t return as speculated, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t fun for […]
