Avatar (The First Three)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Avatar (2009) Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) NO spoilers for “Fire and Ash”. As for the previous two films, I make no promises.

Love and Monsters
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2020) “I FORGOT TO WRITE ABOUT LOVE AND MONSTERS BACK WHEN I WAS WRITING ABOUT ALL THE FILMS I SAW WHILE DATING YOU!” I shouted to the darkness after waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of a stormy night. My wife didn’t…

Money Talks
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1997) [This is another Non-review from the days of yore (May 1, 2019) I happened to find randomly while perusing the annals of my all-but-defunct Facebook group. I tried to transfer all my writing to this platform but a few articles slipped through the cracks.…

March of Time (WWII Post-War Problems and Solutions)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay [This is a very old Non-review I posted on Facebook way back in 2017, November 3rd, to be precise. I repost it here verbatim so pay no attention to the rambling house-cleaning sentences. They’re now out of context. I’ll add some further memories after the…

Rainbow War
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1985) It’s a 19 minute video. For a while you couldn’t find it anywhere on the internet nor streaming services. It’s on YouTube right now but it may not be there for long once someone realizes it. We watched it in school at least once…

Quiz Show
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1994) I do enjoy historical films from time to time, even if it’s not about some Earth shattering event. Quiz Show is about a show on NBC called 21 that producers allegedly started to manipulate in arguably unethical ways to minutely govern the popularity of…
