I also was going to watch SNL, but the audio description hasn’t made it there. I just listened to Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter, and then backed out for a later date when it does have audio description. Best Episode: Ghosts (Paramount Plus)- I should have paid more attention … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 02/19/25

greedy People- I watched this dull crime caper back in November, and my initial reaction then was “what has happened to Joseph Gordon Levitt’s career?”. I barely remember this film. I remember a couple of actors being in it, but it is so incredibly mediocre that it has no redeemable qualities to stick with you, nor is it so bad it leaves you with that feeling of having survived something. It is just a dull film. And it is the second one top lined by Joseph Gordon levitt, because even though I did a full review for Killer Heat much … Continue reading Going In Blind (Playing catch Up)-Gladiator 2, the Last Stop In Yuma County, Greedy people

I’ll probably have to come back around to this. I’m slowly trying to force myself to go out to theatres a bit more, and last year I saw 4 films in theatres, which was up from the previous year. So, I’m shooting for at least 5, and this was my first trip. The movie was far too loud in some parts and the bluetooth failed me in others. So to grade the audio description would be unfair. last year, I mentioned this with the four theatrical trips I made (Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, inside Out 2, Deadpool … Continue reading Going In Blind: Captain America: Brave new World

Next week, get your remotes ready. Tonight (Sunday, 2/16) is the SNL Anniversary bash on NBC with a ton of special guests. I’m sure it will port to Peacock later. Returning shows that I know have audio description include Tracker (CBS/Paramount Plus), reacher (Amazon), Surface (Apple Plus), and the big return of the Emmy winning The White Lotus (HBO/MAX). Disney Plus also has a new original Pixar series Win or Lose, and Netflix is launching the limited series Zero Day.

Since this blog is as much me as it is about audio description and disability advocacy, film and television, and whatever else I put on here, it is Valentines. I hope you have a nice day. If you aren’t, I see you. For reasons I choose not to dive into openly on my blog, I’d say today is probably the single worst Valentine’s Day I’ve had, and it isn’t so much because I’m somehow uniquely single on this day all of a sudden, but rather just other shit happening. so, if you’re not having a great day, I see you. … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 02/13/25

It has been a long time since I’ve seen the first iteration in this franchise. I know I liked the movie well enough, back in 1999, that I had a VHS copy. It is a charming ensemble, full of young black talent about ready to pop. This was back in the early days of Taye Diggs, Mia Long, Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, Harold Perreneau, and Regina Hall. Malcolm D. lee broke onto the scene with an original work he wrote and directed, which was produced by Spike Lee’s production shingle. It wasn’t the only film from 1999 about … Continue reading Going In blind: The Best Man
