Godzilla: Who is this Godzilla Person Anyway? (Part 1 of 10)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay It took over a year to get these films watched. I don’t even want to tell you how many there are as the sheer multitude would frighten most regular people. Also I get a different number every time I count. I watched it all too,…

Movies, Multiple Marriages, and Muppets: Remembering Charlie Chaplin
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay The motion picture camera was invented in 1889, the same year Charlie Chaplin was born. Twenty five years later this little $#!+ decides the cinema is the perfect forum for his comedic and/or perverted endeavors. Before Chaplin came along, the only comedy on screen consisted…

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (The)
