Everything is Fine
From the Lady in the Radiator saying, “In heaven, everything is fine,” this atheist knows better. Late great director David Lynch is in a place of ideas. When he died this past week, all I could ideate about were ideas. He had tons of them. From the scene with his deformed, monstrous child in the world in Eraserhead (1977) to the notes he used from a song about a “Candy-colored clown they call the sandman,” in Blue Velvet (1986) this matador took his audience on trips and flights of fancy.

David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025)
“WHAT?” That was my reaction to the death of David Keith Lynch. I was at home on the one real day off I had this week between recovering from a very bad cold, teaching, prepping and cleaning up after the vacation that was time spent with my family. I was about to take the laundry out of the washer when I saw the message on Facebook that he had died and all I could think to say (or at least type) was one loud blurt from the heart. And it seems appropriate now that the person who put that notice up happened to be one of my former media students. She seemed to understand his importance not just to me, but to a host of us suburban weirdos who could see what was bubbling under the surface of all that brown and grey.

The End of The Tour (2015). Top Story - January 2025.
I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

Reviewing Lifetime's 1st Thriller and 1st Villainess of 2025
For the last few years, I get my info on upcoming Lifetime thrillers from a site called Futon Critic, and I took a look at the films that would hit Lifetime and LMN in January. As I wrote my year end Lifetime villainess list for 2024, I instantly looked forward to what Lifetime would give us in 2025. Sure enough, three days into the New Year, Lifetime Movie Network gave us this wonderful gem, Dressed to Kill, which brought back the normal routine of LMN premiering movies on Fridays.

Alien
The creature in Alien is nothing more than just that, an ALF. (Alien Life Form). Intellectuals enjoy overcomplicating interpretations of what the Xenomorph could be. Some people could say it represents American fears of foreigners. Okay, but what that overlooks is these creatures are legitimately harming people. It’s not really something to open peoples’ eyes if it turns out that the thing they are using to take a stand against xenophobia when the thing they use as analogies for hate cause damage.The author of this paper prefers to see this alien as nothing more than the alien/ parasite it is. This thing is believed to be the perfect organism. The reason why it is believed to be the perfect organism according to Ash is a ludicrous one. Ash believes that part of its perfecon is because it has no conscience. ‘’I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.’’This is a direct quote from Ash himself. You have to realize who is saying this. Ash is a robot. He has one direcve. Bring this thing back alive. He has speci=c orders to do this. The =lm is science =con nerd or scienst’s wet dream.The space ship, alien planet, blah, blah, blah is one thing, but even something as simple as the face hugger, is watered down and deluded by science. In a pure horror =lm, they would

20 Years: A Look Back at New Year's Revolution
Hard to believe that today marks 20 years since we fans of World Wrestling Entertainment were introduced to the short-lived event known as New Year's Revolution. It was the height of the Ruthless Aggression Era, and WWE was already almost three years into the original Brand Extension, which saw Raw and SmackDown with their own announcers, rosters, champions, and yes, even pay-per-views (with the exception of WWE's Big Four) were split up.
