The good folks at Eon Productions have been the caretakers of the James Bond franchise, through thick and VERY thin for almost 50 years.  Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig… These names roll off the tongue rather easily as all being the aliases of 007.  Thanks to the” miracle” […]

Wells.  The latest example comes from none other than Ray Bradbury, arguably one of the finest Science Fiction writers to date. It […]

Before I write a single word more, I have to apologize.  I did not have my good camera to record this event, so the images contained from here on out are from my phone.  Better images WILL come soon. When I say that Superman has RETURNED (all caps), I mean the one and only Christopher […]
